I didn't know this when we met
That I'd come to cherish this thought that I get,
A warm smile and a soft side
Like a little sister, rakhi tied.
Something about you I hold so near -
Your nature, ambivert(?), curious and clear,
Yet the right side you know, that's where you stay,
Spreading happiness all along the way,
And with everyone you meet
A flower you leave,
Your garden you make.
Thank you for being here today.
- dedicated to a new special person in my life.
The reasons are many,
Why I smile upon you.
Love writ clear on my face,
That I find an innocent maze
On your face as well.
Joy profound
At a quiet touch and single sound.
All the world's quiet,
Then there is only you,
This love and us so gloriously true...
Well, what is this?
What am I coming to?
And beyond that, what am I gonna do?
Now there's blankness
Where once your eyes held light
But that was so long ago
That was last night.
Well, what was that?
What's that sound I hear?
It's my lifetime
It's whistling past my ear
And when I look back
Everything seems smaller than life
The way it's been for so long
Since last night
Now I'm leaving
Any moment I'll be gone
I think you'll notice
I think you'll wonder what went wrong
I'm not choosing
But I'm running out of fight
And this was decided so long ago
It was last night.
- extract from If I Stay
I wish we had stayed
A moment sooner than late,
So I wouldn't be left wondering
From so far away,
How it'd feel if you
Had held me that way,
If I had felt the brush
Of your lips upon my cheek,
If we could have lingered a moment longer
Silently in our lovers' keep;
I wish we had stayed,
Taken a moment to find out -
When you caught my wrist
And stopped my fall down,
When our eyes met and
For a heartbeat's breadth,
There was only you and me
And our love between us -
Like an infinte sea
Surrounding us both,
Keeping us close;
Something of that sort
Just four months ago,
Was our hands together entwined
Finding the perfect match for life.
Just liked this one, so decided to post it :)
“This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”
― Marilyn Monroe
I don't want to let go,
I don't want to lose the height
When I finally touched the sky,
I don't want to let go,
Not now, when my dreams are in hold
And my hands are within reach,
I don't want to let go,
I don't want to lose what I just found.
I don't want to let go.
