NEVER AGAIN

Never again will I say goodbye

Since you've been gone my heart is left ajar
I have for days traveled afar
But can't find what makes my heart smile
Just a thought of you makes the day sunny
Evening and morning each day may not be found
That’s how I have been since you've not been around
My heart is fragile; it's hanging on a string of thoughts of you
When you are around life is completely beautiful

Never again would I say goodbye
Nothing could afford to heal my heart if not you
I have been out searching for you
Every night I dream about you
The star and moon missed you too
For your love glow whenever they are around you
I will journey to mars and pluck you a scarlet rose
And plant for you a garden watered with kisses
To show how much I want to be again in your arms
For your care, love and affection I will long forever

A GRAVE MISTAKE

For a grave mistake I made
When I allowed my feelings got blown away
When you told me you loved me
It made the sun reflects in my eyes
I saw the future bright but got scared to make up my mind
It's been sandy the path you walked through for me
I could feel your loved from far down the creek
And also the love and the beauty of a sun flower
Wish I had not let my feelings down
I wouldn't today have nightmares in my sleep
For a grave mistake I made
The day I let my love for you slipped

SWITCHING PLACES

Can we switch places for a while?

I want you to understand completely how I feel inside

I may have told you a thousand times that I love you

You've got to have pictures of what's going on in my mind

It's hasn't been easy holding my feelings for so long

Sometimes I tried to figure out my heart

Can't find out why she clings on to you all this while

You've got to know the sacrifices I made for you

I picture you in all my dreams for I want them to become true

I might not be able to express my feelings for you openly

I may not be as sincere as you want me to be

Every man has shortcomings, that's what makes us human

It’s not an excuse that I don’t love you, I always will

But I need you to switch places with me

And have a clue what I have been through for you

Maybe you will appreciate me a little more

For loving you this much
