Always on my mind




 

 










Like a pieces of a puzzle
you’re meant for me   
And there’s nowhere else, I’d rather be
In my dreams and in my heart
we’ve nourished something special from the start
Dreaming of you, makes my night worth while
thinking of you, makes me constantly smile;
When we’re together, we make our own fun
And my heart tells me; you’re the one
Having you is the best thing ever
Keeping you is what I want forever;
I love you baby;
your one of a kind
and I know this
Because I cant get you off my mind

Love Spell



Every time I look at you
my heart skips a beat
I wonder if you know, my love,
that my heart is at your feet
I leave it there for you to do
whatever that you wish
You could take my heart,
and love me,
Or just leave me in this bliss.

Lovestruck


















Watching you sleep
Feels like a calm summer night
The full moon cradling the surface of the ocean
Dancing to its own reflection
Beaming with pride
Because it knows on it alone
This calm night sky relys’

So lost in admiration
I listen to you breathe
And wonder what you’re dreaming
Candy canes and bubble gum
Splashing in a rain puddle
Or just play yard fun

I brush a curl from you face
So I can truly admire the beauty of Gods grace
I trace your nose with my finger and smile
Because having you, is my greatest gift
And you have truly made this life Worthwhile

Clean Hands














 The words that aren’t spoken
Tends to hurt the most
Diminishing the one thing
We’ve been holding so close
Can’t help but wonder; Why me,
In the present, its so hard to be seen
But next time you want to judge
Who and Where I’ve been
Before you point that finger,
Make sure your hands are clean

To Love or Something Like it














 

Everyone wants the perfect relationship, but too often we compromise the Wait for the right person for the Need to have someone around.

No one wants to be lonely, so desperately people compromise their feelings, strong beliefs on how they think love should be, based upon surface values and not what they really feel. It seems everyone’s afraid to dig deep to see the other person, not just the fantasy that’s created but to really see the other person.

It’s easy to create a perfect relationship in the back of your mind, but what happens when things don’t go as planned? …the blind eye is turned, the famous “doubting the instincts” comes into play, then the excuses are made ~he/she can change, the relationship is too new to bring up the issues or make demands, or I can’t do better than what I have right now, so I’ll stick it out until something better comes along.

Why do women do that?

Are we that desperate to be loved that we would take anything that’s utters the word “love.”
Too often I hear women say; “we’re having problems in our marriage, so we’re gonna have a baby”
When did, having a baby dissolves marital problems?
Trust me sooner or later, the same issues before baby ~will only be worse after baby.
When did Trading the Wait for the right person with the right qualities become “the right now and for all the wrong reasons?”

*He’s good to me but not marriage material
*He cheats but he can change
*Our sex life is good, but we have no open communicate between us
*Yes he’s good in the bedroom but he’s completely useless outside the bedroom
*He completely lacks what you need in the bedroom but treats you like a queen outside of the bedroom
*He’s built like Fabio or a Greek God but he makes you feel like the ground he’s walking on
*Or the Famous …he’s quiet or too reserved but I need a Bad boy to rough me up now and then.
** The list of excuses goes on and on….

But what do you do then?

Can you be honest with yourself & the other party & be ok with the thought of being alone?
Or play the role of the doting girl “staying in a relationship, that’s not working” for the sake of not being alone?
Being single is not as crippling as everyone thinks, yes you have days that you get lonely
And some days are so perfect; it completely reminds you, why you chose to be single in the first place.

I refuse to want something that only looks like love for the time being, or something I can tolerate for the sake of being in a relationship

In a healthy relationship:
Your other half should be able to lift you up when you can’t seem to lift yourself up
You’re too weary to pray, he’ll pray with you or for you
Even on your worst day, he can look you in the eyes and say “you’re beautiful”
Not only sees you, but knows your heart
You can say you are OK to no end and he’ll still hold you close because he knows you are lying thru your teeth

Your fight is his fight
Encourages you to be yourself and not what he sees out in the world
Loves you for who you are and not who he thinks you should be.
Should be able to talk about everything or nothing and still be comfortable in the silence of our nothingness
And everything, should be vise versa

Love shouldn’t have to be such a compromise that 50% of the time you are unhappy with the other person.
If that’s the case, then what’s the point?

So is being Single all that bad?

I don’t think so! God has put me in a place where I see first hand, how short life can be, and its’ made me realize that “Treasuring Everyday like it’s a Gift” has become my motto. I cherish my heart and the people I give it to, and I’ve come to the conclusion that Life is too short to be in the wrong relationship or something ….like a good relationship.

I love you, yes I do

















I love you, yes I do
I’ve asked myself over and over
How can this be true?
The one thing I wasn’t looking for
Has found me
And baby, that’s YOU!

I love you, yes I do
I can’t hide it anymore
These feeling are overwhelmingly true!
Your caring demeanor
Has touched my heart
From your arms, my love
I never want to part
I look at you and get lost in your smile
As your eyes tell me; baby, please stay awhile

I love you, yes I do
My arms are wide open
My emotions are sure
I’ve seen your heart
And it all seems so pure
This cosmic emotion
I’ve bottled inside
From you, I shall no longer hide

So Here I am
Here I stand
Half-court
One on One
No tactics
No defense
No guard
Now the ball is in your court
And my hearts in your hands

Wait
Before you make a move
Just wanted to say
I’ve never taken loosing
Laying down any day.
Game over or not
No matter the play
Baby, I’ve already fallen
So tomorrow, Ill still love you anyway

YOU

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
If I had to think of only one person that makes me smile the most
It would be you
If I had to think of only one person that I can tell all my secret to
Those secrets would definitely go to you
If I had to think of only one person that gets me, in more than a few ways
It would be you
If I had to think of only one person that I could completely give my heart to
I’d say that would be you
If I had to think of only one person I can be myself with
I’d say that person would be you
If I could think of one person
I would want to spend the rest of my life with
I’d want to spend it with you

The Plan


 
 
 
I promised myself
I’d never fall
So around my heart
I’ve built a wall
I’ve convinced myself
Love will never find me again
But destiny knew better
Just a matter of how and when

That night you asked me on a date
To me it was just another night
Getting to know a friend
Chilling, sharing a plate
In my head I went over the rules
Telling myself to play it cool
If it seems too good
Leave reason for doubt
Be a good girl and no staying out
If sex was the question – always wait
And no kissing until at least the 2nd date

My rules were simple
I had a good plan
Dinner and a Movie
And a few winning hands
But then you kissed me
And everything went black
Nervously I pulled back
Trying to grasp the composure, my emotions lack

Your persistence I admire
Dauntingly your eyes showed desire
I started thinking I should call It a night
But my limbs were too weak to put up a fight
You kissed me again and I slowly gave in
Right then …
I cared less who you were
Or where you’ve been
I kept thinking
We can write our destiny
Chapter One…
This is where, our story begins

Meeting you was fate
But falling in Love
Was never in the plan
For while emotionally
I was trying to sneak out
My untamed heart
Somehow snuck you in

Squeeze (So Random)
















Feeling your arms around me
seems like heaven
Silently I’ll smile,
playfully coaxing you like a child
Pushing back further,
persuading you to squeeze tighter
Feels like a familiar place;
that I once knew

Treasuring Your Memory










Sadness becomes you
Leaving you in disbelief
Offering you darkness
And a blanket of grief

Over and Over
We questioned; “why?”
Why were you chosen?
Why did you, have to die?

Our hearts are broken
And too shattered to understand
That what it is, we hoped for you
Wasn’t part of Gods Plan

He shouldered your burdens
He saw your heart
He knew what ailed you
And decided;
You need a new start

So with sadness in the air
And tears in our eyes
We’ll gather together
To celebrate you
And say our final goodbyes

We’ll treasure your memories
And hold thoughts of you, dear
And carry you in our hearts
Through out the coming years.
