THERE WAS A TIME

There was a time when the dawn found your name on my lips...
When everything about you was at my fingertips...
There was a time when you were the reason I wore a smile...
When I longed to have you stay just a little while...
There was a time when you painted my dreams...
When everything was sunshine and little streams...
There was a time you were my all...
We were so high I never thought we would fall...
There was a time my world went round...
So freely, I never felt bound...
There was a time your words spoke to me...
It was the best that could be...
There was a time when you danced with me...
Before the music faded and I was left with me...
There was a time when everything was happiness and bliss...
Before the storm blew and all was amiss...
There was a time when life awakened anew...
But now it is sad and blue...
With memories and wishes of that time...
There was a time...

YOU AND I

We are standing in the rain you and I...
Showered gently by a weeping sky...
Looking each other in the eye...
The sorrows washing away...
The rain a cleansing for a new day...
You and I are standing in the rain...
Washing away all the pain...
Putting aside all the strain...
So our hearts be not tainted by such stain...
Of pain and strain with no gain...
We are standing in the rain you and me...
Hearts bared and wide as the deep blue sea...
All open and candid so we can see...
The tiny things that make us be...
We are in the rain standing still...
Hearts beat as one till our senses feel...
The warmth and passion that is the seal...
You put upon this heart you did steal...
A blazing fire no storm can kill...
We dance in the rain you and I.

STRANGER TO MY DREAMS

Captivating, exciting, breath-taking
I was yours for the taking...
And you took...
And my world you shook...
Gently, until you became a mighty quake...
But now? Now am wide awake.
Like a volcano, you threw me to the top...
Like a song, I never wanted it to stop...
Yet you were slow and gentle as a breeze...
I only wanted time to freeze...
You held me with your gaze...
You put me in a daze...
Running your fingers through my hair...
Made me say secrets I wouldn't dare...
Held me in your arms...
Warm and embracing, I had no qualms...
You came and lit a fire...
Then you became a stranger...
A stranger to my head...
A stranger to my heart...
A stranger to my dreams...
I see you not anymore...
You are different from before...
Now I'm confused all the more...
Perhaps you did not exist...
Indeed, a stranger to my dreams.

TOO GOOD TO BE

It can't be true...
But I open my eyes and see you.
It feels surreal...
Yet I cannot ignore what I feel.
The quiet thumping of my heart...
The lonely ache when we're apart...
Your presence tortures my very essence...
Lifted straight out of my dreams you were...
Stirring my heart way too far...
This can't be real...
But you're here in front of me.
The reason I smile secretly...
Indulging my senses recklessly...
Teasing my feelings torturously...
Rising and rising like tide in the sea...
I must come back to reality...
A reality I fear...
Afraid to hold you dear...
Afraid to let you in...
To embrace all that's within...
Afraid to dance it all away...
In case the music should fade and die...
Afraid that you may know what I really feel...
Because it's too good to be real.

YOU MAKE ME CRY

You make me cry
When you look into my eyes and see right through...
To the heart that beats and weeps only for you...
When you pry and untie the strings that hold it in place...
And in the same gentle hands hold my face...
Look into my eyes and fill my senses like darkness in night skies...
When you kiss my lips and seal inside this fragile heart...
The dream that you will never cause me hurt...
When you stitch together the forgotten memories of a happy time...
When you rouse emotion like the sea with tide...
When with my feelings you dance and swirl...
When with my dreams you waltz and twirl...
When all you pledge is perfection and love...
Happiness stretching to forever like the sky above...
When you tear the walls of my defenses...
When you are firmly within my senses...
When everything is heavy and fast and I cannot breathe...
When you make me give my heart to you, my all to you,
When it is true that I love you...
You make me cry
