I always see,  though I don't always speak
I can feel,  though I don't always show
I can hear,  but I have my own heart that seeks
The one that I am longing to know

I have my own heart to listen to
I will remain a friend though we have differences
Life is too short,  just let me love and live
Let me have this choice to take these chances

Do not compare yourself with others...that is insecurity
Do not tell the opposite of what you feel...that is hypocrisy
Do not say you can if you really can't...that is conceit
Do not claim what is not yours...that is fraud
Do not tell stories which aren't true...that is gossip
Do not be someone who you can't be...that is pretension

Just be you
Be who you are

I tried to kiss her once more
But I was surprised
By her coldness
No warmth at all
For ice is what I see
On her lips.

That's what I feel
When you go to work
When you have to say bye
When you have to leave for a while

How much more if
You won't come home tonight?

Yesterday there was no way to the other side
Water flows with harshness
I can't even dip my toes
For I will be carried away
To the deepest part
And it was too dangerous

Then later this morning
I saw the bridge
I don't know if it was true
So I tried to see
Made a step
Then another step
Until I saw myself in the middle

Yes, there is a bridge
Now I can pass
A way to the other side
A way that will lead me

to you.

When I hear you
I picture someone strong
Cannot be defeated
By any war or storm

When I see you
I witness someone bright
Cannot be fooled
By the intriguing norm

When I touch you
I feel someone gentle
Heart is soft and tender
Despite of her bruises

When I kiss you
I find someone loving
Soul is clean and pure
No cruelty and harshness

When I am with you
I discover life
And all the love
I have in me

With this love
I am alive
You freed my soul
Now, I am free!

If I have to cross over oceans to find you, my peace
Let me embrace the rain to be strong through all of these
And if I have to sail even at the middle of a storm
Let your love be my coat to keep me safe and warm...

You said you are mine
And that words made me smile
You made me feel like
I am the most amazing woman on earth

I trust you
I always believe in you
Why not?  
You don't have your heart now
I am holding it
While you are holding mine.

To you,

I  am sorry for being weak
In my faith
Though I always say
I always believe



To myself,

I am sorry for dreaming too much
For not knowing your destiny
For asking God what He wants for you
For floating all the time
And sometimes you feel
You are so tired
And only wanted peace...

Thank you for both of you for not giving up!

I was staring at the sea
When I saw the past like I gazed at the window

I saw you there-
    weak
    crawling
    struggling
Too many times you tried to stand
But you fell again and again

I never asked to be here
I never asked to see you
I never asked to be hurt
Knowing that the one I was watching
Was the one staring at the sea

I never asked to be here
I never wanted to see myself in vain.

Life is a journey
but I don't want to walk alone

I need you in my life
I cannot stand *on my own

So my love, no matter what
Remember the words I say

I will always be with you
I'll never walk away

Everything has an end
but not my love for you

Your love is always my light
And you never make me blue

Give me a river of tears
But I will still love
I will always believe
I will still dream
Our dreams
This is me
This is my heart
This is how I love

Let my eyes see
Let my ears hear
Let my heart feel
Let my mind think

Let me love
Let me live...

To love is to sacrifice
   Think of one's welfare
   Endure pain
   Be a part of one's life
   Share with one's tears

To love
      means
             to forget yourself...

I do not look on pretty face 
Nor on gowns and fancy lace 
The day I met you in this busy place 
Was the day I saw your soul's grace 

I do not look on positions 
For positions set limitations 
The day I have seen your soul and emotion 
Was the day I found mine's reflection 

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul 
Yet I didn't look on yours once and for all 
I saw your soul through music, I fall 
Where special connection breaks wall 

I saw your soul and I found mine, my dear 
You are beautiful inside and out, its clear 
Shape that world you hold in your hand without fear 
Shape it into a better place with One Voice to hear.

I cannot leave her alone like a child
Helpless that only I could see
I cannot move on while she's left behind
I wish I could see her walking beside me

I cannot stand and  put on my make-up
Or make the loudest laugh or widest smile
I cannot shout and do celebrate
While she's asking to be with me for a while...

Praying
          wishing
                    hoping
                            dreaming


                              Crying
                           thinking
                      considering
                           believing


Standing
moving
deciding
fighting


                                Waiting
                        trusting
                loving
          living.

That  time I heard your song
I gained that hope in me
That waiting won’t be long
I’ll speak my mind so free.

You lead me in this way
I thanked you for that gift
But why you’ve gone away?
You left me not with drift.

Did you just lead me here
To start a brand new life?
Or you just felt that fear
Now that you see the strife?

I looked back at the page
Where you and I were free
I heard your song with shade
While you heard what’s on me.

It seems now I’m alone
This world won’t be lovely
Please let me hear your song
That song you sang for me.

I've been dreaming of this since we met...

It is always a beautiful morning when we are together. We walk in a beach, hand-in-hand, while we tell each other some silly stories to make each other smile. Then in the afternoon, we watch the beauty of sunset while your head on my lap. I touch your face and comb your hair with my fingers. You tell me how beautiful I am to your eyes, then I just smile and give you a kiss on your forehead. You stand and carry me and swing me to the air while I shout your name and how I love you so. You then let me stand and hug me tight and say you love me too.

That story is always in my dreams and makes me cry because in my life I only have those dreams since I met you. So when you tolerate me in my fantasies, I think that I could be happy even for a while. Only to cry later when I'm done with my daydreaming. That's why I want to talk to you always because we don't know when will this last. You may find a girl, or I could find someone  like you who is willing to take me away from this kind of life. I always believe that God will help me to be free from this life, not in the way that He will take my life. I always pray for longer life because I want to feel how it is to be loved and taken cared of. In my whole life I have been that woman who's caring and loving to other people that I almost forget myself. I always believe that God loves me and He has a purpose in everything that is happening.

So you should not worry that you will lead me to a place where I can never be because I am used to failures and breaking. I believe I can still get at the finish line even if I'm full of bruises. I just don't know whose hands will hold me and will lead me to the finish line.

You say you love me
But your deeds tell me you don't
So it is fair and just
Release me now
And I swear
We will both live in serenity

For I don't want to grow old
Hating you
For keeping me
In your cage of lies

I know this may happen
I know nothing stays forever
And everything has an end
Like the song
Like a story
Like your love...

Why do we cry?
Why are we hurt?
Why do we fail?
Why do we stumble?
Why do we love?

When we love, we cry
When we love, we are hurt
When we love, we also fail
When we love, we stumble
When we love, we ask questions
Again and again
But still we love
