I AM YOURS AND YOU ARE MINE

On the journey of a thousand miles
What keeps me going are your thoughts
My heart is very fond of you
Told me its difficult to live without you

Together we built blocks of compassion above the sky
Painted the world with the colour of your smile
The night became homely and bright
My dreams came to stay hence forth that night

Love, they say its dispensable
But love is the reason the world is beautiful
Why the sun and moon is alive, and the stars
For I could see them through your eyes

If the frame in my heart get broken into a million pieces
Each will carry but treasurable memories
Of all the moment's spent with you
For life would be meaningless without you

WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU FALL IN LOVE?

The day I met Ibinabo, I fell in love without holding back

Our relationship looks promising, life was sunny and bright

Then the distance came and never left

Now I am so lonely in the dark, cannot find daylight

I met this girl Yetunde, told me she is a virgin, I should be patient

I could swear I took her for an angel, ignored everything my friends said

I trusted her, not until I saw her divorce paper hidden in her luggage

Two kids and out of wedlock, is too hard to comprehend

I sponsored Amaka through college until she graduated

My home and everything I had, to her I gave two third

The next day she started acting funny and keeping late night

She tells me sorry darling, you are not educated

There is this girl I met in church, proposed to her, wedding invitations all set

I had a stressful day at work, thought I go back home for comfort

There she lies in my bed sleeping with my best friend

It is the devil she says, your feelings I never meant to hurt

The world I have come to know is dead

I can't find love anymore; it is no use thinking about it

Pain, rejection and betrayal is all I get

I swear, I will never fall in love again until my death

I tried but there is not enough love in this world

Nothing I do makes a difference to change a girls mind

Not to put my trust on anyone, regretfully I have decided

It is better that way, if I want to keep what is left in my heart

DO NOT LET ME GO

If truly you love me 
Do not let me go 
I might be from out of town 
I might be out of my mind

But the language of love is the same 
When ever it reaches out from the heart 
It might be through a song 
Or by coincidentally bumping into you 

Last time I recalled 
You are not afraid of making a call 
But seems to be selling yourself short 
Don't tell me you are afraid of commitment 

Please don't let me go back home 
Broken, sad and on my own 
No one can understand 
The way you make me feel 

Imagine a queen with a sad crown 
Going through a miserable night 
Life will be terribly alright 
Not able to find you by my side 

Why do you make me cry? 
Why can not I fall in love with you?
What is wrong if you take me home tonight 
Our relationship don't need to have a perfect start 

Hey boy, do not take me for a flirt 
Not everyone can control there feelings 
All I am asking is to be with you 
Please, don't send me back home tonight
