WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GO?

I thought of a million reasons why you had to go

At a time when we were just getting along, you left my heart a hole

I thought of all the dreams we both shared

The comfort I feel anytime you are around

This is so wrong, you don't deserve this

How on earth am I supposed to let go the feelings?

The love, companionship, support and advice

Together we've worked hard in fulfilling our dreams

How can we lose you, a hero, and a brother to many?

A virtue that can never be refilled in lives of many

Thoughts of this is so confusing thinking about your departure

Damn, I am going to miss you greatly in the future

You don't have to get worried you aren't here to take care of me

I am aware that you're going to miss me

That you regret to put me through so such pain

I know you're sorry you were unable to say goodbye before it rain

I am glad you're in a better place now that we are far apart

A place where you don't have to hustle anymore

A place where there is no pain, regrets, disappointment and suffering

But with God in His heavenly abode rejoicing
Rest in peace our beloved brother

THOUGH WE MET BY CHANCE

Though we met by chance
I was drunk and pushed by my lusty desire
I never meant to trouble your heart
That's why I tried stopped calling for a while
I have been having this persistent urge for me to see you
I am willing to go extra miles to prove I want you
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate everything about you
That’s why thoughts of you ignite my feelings
I feel so guilty for not being there for you
I was selfish; thought I couldn't fall in love with you
Despite I knew it was fate that led me to you
I now know one thing, that love can change anything
That if we allow love into our heart
Our perception of life will change completely
It's because of love that most relationship are fruitful today
It’s a good thing I meet you by chance
For I was meant to fall in love with you

PLEASE BABY DON'T CRY

Aren't you tired going on in this awkward life?

Trying to love someone so much

But he can't love you back the way you deserved

You lay down try to relax but your mind keeps wondering

Could it have been wrong to fall in love?

You gave up your pride, your precious heart

Your emotions, your soul and body

Just to please that one you truly love

You shed so many tears and sleepless nights

Trying to figure what you did that went wrong

You've tried everything for your relationship to work, but it’s no use

Your relationship keep crashing and you feel like dying

Can you stop and think for a while

Maybe the relationship was not meant to be

The book of love doesn't have an author

It's only God whom has access to our future

Please baby don't cry, you've got to accept that life goes on

You've got a good heart, there is someone out there meant for you

He is longing to meet you and hold the candle for you

He will give you that feeling of been loved

In time everything is going to be fine 

Please baby don't cry
