I LOVE YOU

I have wanted to pour my heart out to you

But for a reason I developed a cold feet

I have told my heart a lot about you

He knows I will be deluded without you

Sometimes I feel like a kid when am around you

Can you give me a pat on the back?

And tell me it’s okay, that you love me too

People may think I am going insane for you

Even with a bottle of vodka I will still be lucid for you

Am starving and need your love

I might not know the recipe to your heart

But know one thing is for sure

That I love you and need you to love me back

Distance doesn't change how I feel about you

I will call you a million times

I will send dozens of text messages to you

Buy you a rose if it will help to prove to you

That I love this much about you

Because I really do, I love you

I LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU

I like it sometimes when you tell me a story

Do you remember when we first met?

You where every reason I always wanted to stay up late

Because I love spending time with you

With my eyes close I can give you my hands, walk with you and still be safe

I used to overhear people say that angels are beautiful

That’s exactly the way I feeling being around you

Spending the night with you seem the day will never come

Can you go to the window right now and look up at the sky

Did you notice a star that is shining brighter tonight?

And the sky wearing a beautiful smile waving at you

It's me reminding you that I will always be close to you

I care and will be watching over you all through the night

I rarely worry about tomorrow because I've got you

That’s the best thing that could ever happened to me

I still haven't figured out what has gotten into me

To love this much about you, but I am happy about it

It's hard not missing a day without you

Have you thought of practicing a speech you want to present in a board meeting?

Going through series of training to be the best on the pitch

Read daily to score high in the last semester exam

Wake up early every morning to catch the first train to the office so you don't run late

That’s how I feel because I want to be perfect for you

It's a price I am willing to pay if that’ll will my heart to you

I love you and will also be there for you

ROLL THE BOAT

Roll the boat gently down to destiny

Dreams in life are all meant to be

Sail through the lake, river or sea

Current or storm may slow down thee

An anchor isn't enough to hold down a dream

Struggles and strife may weigh down man

Waves may rock the boat, still ease the mind

It aren't stable navigating through life

Got to paddle a way through when the engine is out

No time for worries if options are wide

Bale the water out with eyes fixed where purpose lies

A shore might not be that far away

If a little more you are determined today

Roll the boat till success in hands you can feel

For life is but one big journey attained despite its unforeseen
