Our days may be happy
Our days may be sad
But life goes on
The mountains may crumble
...

I do not know
If loving you is right or wrong
But in your heart is the only place that I belong
For a life with you I am craving
...

Remember me
Every time the sea comes to shore
And when I am physically no more
Remember me
...

God asked me if I am happy
I said it’s a feeling I have never felt
God asked me if I was in love
I told him love is a person I have never seen
...

I wonder what beauty would look like
If there weren’t any colours
What would the world smell like
If there weren’t any flowers?
...

In the arms of sadness I am confined
In my dry tears I drown
So often I attempt to fly to paradise
Only to feel the oppressive hand of gravity pushing me back down
...

In this prison for broken hearts
I am surrounded by walls made of tears
I am a criminal whose only crime
was falling in love with you
...

Do you want the rays of the sun?
Or the tears of the clouds?
Should I whisper my love?
Or should I sing it aloud?
...

At twenty one she is a physically perfect being
No words can ever tell of her beauty
That has no parallel
She is the object of men’s’ fantasies
...

I have made mistakes, I have done much wrong
Thank you for giving me the strength to go on
There was evil and darkness in my heart
Thank you for being my light in the dark
...

When eternity ends
And the sun is cold
What happens to our bodies our souls?
When eternity ends
...

I can’t help wondering if the creator truly has a purpose
For creating life, for creating us
What or who created the creator who created us?
This is a question few of us dare to ask
...

Infinite are the things I desire
But little are the things I have
Sitting in this immense classroom called Earth
I listen to my teacher, Life, teach
...

I would sleep forever
If I could dream only of you
I am held captive by your love
But I wish I’ll never be free
...

I look on from the other side
And envy you for your chance at life
Love smiles seductively at me
But it’s a smile-less smile
...

On that day
When my heart no longer beats
Sing me love songs in my eternal sleep
On that day
...

Before we part
Write your name across my heart
I never thought there’d be a moment like this
Give me just one more tender kiss
...

Another day searching for reason
Another day thinking of life’s meaning
Another day to enjoy breathing
Just another day to count my sorrows
...

You said you needed me, you said you cared
I thought your intentions were good
I guess I misunderstood
To make you happy was my only aim
...

They may take my mind
But I’ll still be dreaming of you
Death may take my body
But my heart, my soul belongs to you
...
