I Wish I Could Say

There's so much that goes unsaid. Years and minutes, truths untold.
Said with the eyes, and thumbs that graze buttons but never type.
Hearts that ache, lips that sigh. Secrets held tight within the soul.
Hands clenched tight, bated breaths which linger.
My tongue halts behind the gates of closed teeth,
Wishing for the wants and truths to be seen.
Instead, I move forward, feelings behind closed screens.

Only You

You never stopped to think

That she could be the one.

Well, maybe you did, for a blink

Of a second. A heartbeat.

But you still kept talking to everyone

About your search, what you want.

Instead of staying awhile,

And getting to know every inch of her

Not just every inch of skin that your touches

Cause to vibrate from memories and sighs

But the soul’s mind-heart, that has grown

And altered. Instead of looking

You should be knowing. The woman

Before your eyes, that is always put to the side.

Don’t say the word love lightly.

Don’t say you wish and you want

If it will soon fall empty. Feeding lines

To a jaded heart, will eventually

Make that one numb. You keep hunting

And she’ll shut down. Chances have been given,

Only you can help the us now.

In All Ways

**Actually wrote this back in November, during a class, and just discovered my notebook **

A dream is a wish your heart makes, supposedly.

If this is true, I’d give up everything—

If I could always have, me and you.

Take my hand, don’t let go.

I’m tired of standing on my own.

I’d have all I’ve ever wanted

If I’d never have to say goodbye.

Je t’adore, te amo

In all ways, I love you

We take the beauty and the flaws

Our hearts are at the center of love’s laws.

Forever Crazy

I hear your name,

Someone says it and it acts like lightning,

Striking and sending an electric current,

A power surge of emotions and memories through me.

And I’m running without an end.

Chorus:

When it comes to you,

Even though you’re a presence,

I wish to keep in the past,

I become an utter mess,

Go a little insane,

Always, forever crazy.

Gave you my heart, gave you my love

You became the foundation of every wish and dream.

You never tried hard but got in my head,

Now your memory is the haunting phantom

That I’ll never escape.

Chorus

I’m trying to move on, maybe replace you

I know I need no one, I’m independent.

But then somehow, you come back in my mind

And I become weak, thinking that I need you again.

I’ve got pride, and my heart won’t break me.

The past is where you are to stay,

To always drive me, forever crazy.

Shooting Star

Making love after midnight;

You’re a memory a don’t want to hide.

I remember how you touched me,

And every single kiss.

Chorus:

Shooting star,

Brother of Mars.

We wish for love,

Lose sight of who we are.

Now I wait in every fantasy,

I live in every dream.

Flashbacks remind me,

Of how we used to be.

Chorus

Bad endings mean a new chance,

But I never thought of us as over.

I just think that maybe it wasn’t our time yet,

Our fate is in fortune’s corner.

Chorus

Shooting star,

I’m a lover wishing on a repeating dream,

Comets pass as time ticks fast

We will have our chance.
