  • At Peace [with audio]

    On a winter’s night I lay down Look over And dream I am lying by your side Looking into your eyes, Feeling assured That this is it This is how it’s supposed to feel Two souls mutually feeling the same depth of passion Who appreciate all that has taken place To get us where we […]

  • Seize the Moment

    It’s Sunday morning I run down to the park We lock eyes while you’re strolling by Electricity ignites deep inside Do I stop?Do you dare say hello?Do we say anything at all? So much we want to say So much we want to do So much we’ve longed for To only have this passing moment […]

    Worst thing about New Year’s Eve: Being a romantic But no one to love you the way you need I’m holding back the urge to walk away I’m holding onto responsibilities, Accepting my fate Oh, will you please think of me When you’re kissing your lover Send your positive vibes, Your good thoughts, Your shout […]

  • Relief

    Sleeping next to you We don’t say the words we need The nights get lonely Would it be easier living without me? You watch as I tumble down You watch as I fall to the ground Would you pick me up and piece me back together? Would you stand me up and love me forever? […]
