You Should Be Mine
I want you now, today, tomorrow, and forever
Will I stop loving you is the question? The answer; never
For a second I think I’m over you, but then I see you and my love grows stronger
You and I know we would make a good match, so why must we wait longer
I think your scared of the possibility of falling in love again
That’s why you’re keeping your distance because you don’t want to be hurt again
Look, I will protect you from harm, and keep you safe in my arms
When you’re down I will do my best to please you with my charm
Always protect you with my love and keep you close to me
When your really sick, even sick to where you can’t breathe
I’ll be right there helping you through it, just open your eyes I’ll be the first person you see
There with the wet wash clothes, medicine, blanket, all with me as I sit next to your bedside
Loosing money, taking days off from work, to be with you sunrise to your bedtime
Reading to you, nurturing you until you fall asleep
With all that done and said, my love for you is really really deep
And if you ever open the doors for me, you will be mine to keep

Is There Truly One?
Thinking of us being together
How good it would be, makes me want to pursue you further
I know in advance its good because one impression from you impressed my mother
It looks as if you’re the package I’ve been waiting for, everything I want all in one
Makes me think about the future, love, and the big question “Are You the One?”
I can paint a picture in my mind of us two
Of us old and gray, and me being sweet taking care of you
Maybe its actually fate we began to talk
Maybe its fate that we’re supposed to go down the wedding aisle together and walk
But something is holding me back from taking another step
It’s knowing that you’ll soon be out of my reach
But just the fact you will still care, will keep me stress free and clear on my feet
Weekend visits will keep our love fired up with heat
But weekly nights without you will be the time I most weep
I don’t know maybe we should cut off contact as we speak
Because as we speak my feelings are getting stronger and I’m becoming vulnerable
I wish we could just avoid the subject, why don’t we just both lie to each other and say were unavailable

A Wish
We were at the movies; I was relaxed with my arm on the arm rest
Then you moved your arm which bumped into mine
Making my heart start beating heavily through my chest
At that instant I was shocked by a wave of electricity up my spine
Realizing I’m in denial, and ever since I wrote that poem on Valentine’s Day
I’ve wanted you to be mine
As I grew with passion and heat
Fantasies filled my mind and I laid back feeling uncomfortable in my seat
Telling myself “Just a Friend” “Just a Friend” “Nothing More”
But as I keep taking advice I want you even more
When we were pacing through the mall, and I was scared and nervous walking
You eased my nerves when we were sitting
At the table you eating, me drinking, and us talking
I might have been a little uptight
But when we were side by side
During the movie I wanted to be with you all night
I have visions of you, and moments I just can’t clear out of sight
Eleven o’clock on the dot and time to make a wish
“Let the night never end, and if it must let’s end it with one everlasting kiss”

MY SECRET LOVE
If you only knew how I fell in love with your closeness
Your touch, your smile, your warmth, your kindness
One who cares so much and never leaves me "alone"
Now gone, I need to leave and find my new home
My confident in which you are still in my heart and cant let you go
This love I keep for you, a secret that lies within, you will never know
Trying not to forget the last moments of
When I last saw you, but yet fading slowly
My heart melting as memories fade, hard to swallow
Tears begin to trickle down my face slightly
With one call, I break and fall to the floor
Grab my pillow for comfort, unable to control the cries
Hoping no one hears me I lock my bedroom door
You'll read this soon, and think these are such nice thoughts
Not realizing its about you, one of the few that have made an impression on me
But maybe, possibly you will come to the realization
Of everything put 2 and 2 together, and know I need you with me

You Still Have No Idea
Every time I see your face, I fall in love
every time I hear your voice, I fall in love
How can you not know whom I speak of?
I picture you learning this secret and
become as white as a dove
Unstoppable laughter with embarrassment on both parts
Walk away from each other with halves of my heart
Do you know how much I care? Can you let me know?
Maybe if you just wink an eye, I can learn to let go
I'll be able to move on knowing you see
you see the real me, one who will never betray thee
Is this possible, love in a friendship in such a strong way?
My feelings are so strong; they could fight anyone trying to hurt you any day
You still have no idea, that every time I see your face, I fall in love
every time I hear your voice, I fall in love
Your every moment, every time, every place,
You’re my life and that’s everything I can possibly think of

A Need To Express
I’m going to express my feelings to you
It’s just something I got to do
Letting you know, when we chill its all about you
I know you got all these other boys whipped
But you and I have a friendship, it isn’t like that shit
Remember when I barely knew you, had problems with your dad, and I invited you to stay at my house
I never did that before, I was even willing to give you my bed, and I would take the couch
I don’t know what it is, maybe that sparkle in your eyes
Or your nice firm chest and thighs
First night I was introduced to you, your smile could have took me away
Thinking of the right time to say all this, why not on your birthday
Make you feel warm inside, feel good about life
Never want you to disappear, always be a presence in my life
I’m feelin’ your vibe; I want you to be mine
