There comes a time when the road calls your name
This is for the ones finding their way
Some stories begin when you leave the page you knew
Some stories begin when you leave the pain you knew

As you're getting ready to step into the new  
Fresh winds calling, skies a different hue  
Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new  
A young heart finding its way—who knew?

Wishing you moments of laughter and grace  
Prayers always for you, in life’s wild race  
Strength, courage, healing, and wisdom too  
For a life that's radiant, meaningful, and true  

Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new  
A young soul on the rise—who knew?

Though we haven’t walked all roads side by side  
We still cheer for you, with hearts open wide  
Don’t let the past keep you in its bind  
New hopes, new starts, leave no dreams behind  

Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new  
A young soul on the rise—who knew?

Be kind, be bold—but guard your flame  
This world can smile and still play games  
Not all who reach out have hearts that are true  
So trust your gut—it’s always guided you  

Never give up—kept faith will win the fight  
Even in shadows, you carry your light  
And when the weight feels heavy, or dreams feel far  
Reach out—we're here, no matter where you are  

Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new  
A wise heart grows where the brave pursue  

Let joy be your compass, let time be your guide  
We believe in the fire you carry inside  
Be true to yourself and hold your truth tight  
Storms pass—your light will win the fight  

Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new  
A young soul on the rise—who knew?

May love surround you, wherever you roam  
Your new place awaits, but you'll always have  a home  here
Chase your own sunrise, let your heart lead the way  
And may hope and faith guide you each day  


Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new  
A young soul on the rise—who knew?

I didn’t know then — something was breaking,
In the silence, the distance, the slow separating.
Now I know this separation
I know this distance, I know this ache,
Love is never a clean escape.
Oh, I know this love, I know it well…
No, love was never fair.
I know this distance, I know this ache,
Love is never a clean escape.
Oh, I know this love, I know it well…
No, love was never fair.

It won’t stop, it won’t break,
Dreams dissolve but hearts still ache.
I have lived this loss before,
Yet I keep waiting at your door.

Time rewinds, pulls me in,
Locks me where we once had been.
No, love was never fair…
No, love was never fair.

No date to mark, no place in time,
No line where your heart crossed into mine.
Where do I go? Who do I blame?
If love is blind, then why this pain?

I know the truth, it's not unclear,
Yet still, I walk back into fear.
If we were never meant to last,
Then why did we begin?

Oh, love fades, but weight remains,
What we forget still leaves a trace.
Every prayer disappears in air,
But love was never fair.

It won’t stop, it won’t break,
Still, my heart won’t hesitate.
I have lived this loss before,
Yet I keep waiting at your door.

Time rewinds, pulls me in,
Locks me where we once had been.
No, love was never fair…
No, love was never fair.

And though I know we won’t restart,
You still take space inside my heart.
This pain won’t stop, this love won’t fade,
Yet still, I stay… knowing I can’t escape.

James Ignotus
Love calls the heart to trust and grow,
Love is fresh, it’s always new.
Let go, be free, embrace the unknown,
For love is felt when hearts are shown.
And love will bloom eternally.

You call them forth with gentle lies,
But I am truth behind their cries.
You urge them on to leap and trust,
While I remind them—dreams turn dust.
And I will guard them, eternally.

While you tempt with promises so fleet,
Love guides them to truths, slow and sure.
Love, not illusion, makes hearts complete,
And blooms eternal, deep and pure.

You paint with light, with colors bright,
But I am shadow veiled in night.
You sing of joy, of hearts unchained,
Yet I recall what loss has stained.
And I will linger, eternally.

Love may rise where doubt still lingers,
Soft as whispers, light as fingers.
Through night and shadow, hearts will fight,
For every loss still births new light.
And love will stand—unyielding, eternal.
This was a collaboration between Melancholy of Innocence, who voiced Love, and myself, who voiced Fear. Thank you Melan!

Us din se jab dil mein chingari si jali
Mere bhatakhtay dil ko jo basera mila
Woh pehli nazar ab bhi rahti hai khayal mein
Jab bhi door hotay ** — tanhaayi hi tanhaayi hai

Jab pehli baar tere hothon se mila tha pyaar
Woh lamha ban gaya har din ka izhaar
Jab pehli baar tera haath pakda tha
Zindagi ke humsafar ki aas ne faasle mita diye the

Har ek ghadi ab bhi dil mein yaad hai
Jaise taaron se sajaa hua asmaan hai
Jahan bhi jaun, hoon main kahin bhi agar
Waqt phir le aata hai usi yaadon ke dar

Har lamha pehla pal sa
Jaise ek shama jo kabhi na bujha
Saal beet gaye, waqt bhi chala
Par tu hi raha har soch mein sada

Jab pehli baar tujhe baahon mein liya
Har ehsaas ne ek naya rang piya
Jab pehli baar mila tha pyaar tera
Jannat ka ehsaas mila dil ko mera

Jab se tere mere sapnon ka saath hua
Tab se rooh ne tera hi sukoon chuna
Har lamha tere saaye mein khilta gaya
Har soch mein tera hi aks mila

Jab kabhi bhi tu mujhse door raha
Har waqt, har aahat mein tu aaya aisa laga
Har jagah, har pal tu mere saath raha
Mera pyaar har din wohi pehla pal sa laga

Har lamha pehla pal sa
Jaise woh shama jo kabhi na bujha
Saal beet gaye, waqt bhi chala
Par tu hi raha har soch mein sada

Jab bhi kahin yeh naghma sun le tu
Yeh samajh le — main hoon bas tu
Har lamha pehla pal sa
Aur tera pyaar hai mere saath sada

There's spring and there's summer, there's all that's in between
no listless skies of anodyne; now nature flaunts and preens

What beauty fills the hungry eye 'neath a sky of blue, serene
verdant vales soaked in sun, awash in palettes of green

There are pastels that awaken and deep shades that passion brews
created hues that trickle...sprinkled with 'chartreuse'

There's the green of 'asparagus' and that of 'artichokes'
Of 'forest', 'ferns' , of 'moss', a brush of different strokes

Fragrant plants of 'mint', then 'myrtle' and 'green tea'
'Emerald', 'jade' or 'harlequin' and 'malachites' that be

Off creamy shells, just 'pistachio', 'green apples', then of 'pines'
It lies too in 'sap' and 'teal', in 'avocados' and tangy 'lime'

There's green of the 'mantis', in 'jungle', 'hunters' and 'shamrock'
The lithe 'parakeet' fluttering and the lazy sanguine 'croc'

In blessed 'basil', ' pickle', in 'pear', 'olives' in 'bottle green'
'Gourds' and 'peas' that farmers grow in cultivars pristine

'Tis there in 'aqua' and 'seaweed', in the ripple of 'sea green' waves
In 'turtles', 'sea foam', 'anemone' and a 'tropical glistening lake'

From 'laurel green' to an 'army green' , in 'sage' ( a shade of grey )
The color of 'grass' , the murky 'swamp' , hues in array

There's 'neon' and an 'Indian green', a 'Persian' one to mystify
A 'midnight green' to bright 'fluorescent', oh, for green rainbows in the eye

I don’t love being wronged but my love still beats strong!
I don’t love to exercise
but I love being fit and alive!
I don’t love sour grapes,
but if they’re good for me
I’ll take a plate.
I don’t love death and Gore, and I surely don’t love war, But I do love a strangers smile, won’t you come and sit a while?
