FOR THE SAKE OF LOVE




I realized everything I've done affects the people around me
Life grows more and more responsibility
Made a lot of choices that I can't be proud of
Call me names if may or instead call me a rip off

Life got a way of smacking a man on the head
And made him lose track of the things he desires to have
I want to apologize for all the things I put you through
Made you keep so much pain inside of you

I am sorry I wasn't there when you needed a friend
I add more to your grief instead of lending a hand
It seems I never cared much about you
It hurts me more to loose the friendship I found in you

Your thoughts kept me going when challenges came my way
Every time you get on your knees, for my wellbeing you pray
I found out today you're the reason behind my success
By the will of God, I'll never again break any promises

I wish life comes in prototypes
I would become a better man in next life
If you look beyond my imperfection as human
You'll find out deep inside the heart I am a good man

Sorry It took this long for me to see
I cannot wish life the way I wanted it to be
We've all got limitations of the things we can do
I'll take back every breath I've got to make it right with you

THE DAY I DIED



I died a long time ago
The moment I let my conscience go
What is the essence of life in the dark?
A person living in the past

Life illuminate around a man
Day dreaming with an open mind
Determined and ambitious
The picture of the sky he sees

I have been going about life in circle
Lost in thoughts and concentration
Enslaved to doubts, procrastination 
A book never opened for recession

A mind feeble of decision
Can never go very far
Like a faulty car parked on the drive way
Waiting for a tow truck to come rescue

Do not sit around as the day walk by
Search the heart for glimpses of light
Success begins in a man with positive will
The art of self determination

A LITTLE CLOSER



















Don't talk, hold on a minute
Let me come a little closer
So I can kiss you on your lips
I have got a lot to tell you 

In between the silence
You can hear my heart beat
Please don't give me away
All my life no one touch me so close

You are a special part of me
I feel it when you look at me
I want to sit on your laps all night long
Feels good been around you 

It's obvious you are driving me crazy
Everything I feel about you is real
I do not mind these feelings kept in my heart
Since I found out I am in love with you
