I gave you a piece of me ....

I gave you a piece of me
All u did was turn me away
All I did was fall in love
Was that a crime for which I now pay

Remember the times we had
Remember the memories we made
Wish I could turn back time
And live those days again

Now all I’m left with are the memories
Memories of you and of me
And the memories I shared with you
Are the memories that see me through

As I go through each day
Taking one day at a time
My thoughts go back to the moment
When things just went out of hand

It wasn’t your fault nor mine
Time showed us another way
Before I could even know i
Everything we had going right
Just seemed to be going wrong
N memories of that awful day
Keep flashing past my mind

I won’t give up so soon
Coz I believe our love is strong
My heart belongs to you
And I’ll be waiting if I have to
Coz I love you baby
I miss u n need u baby
And I’ll do all that it takes
To be with you again

A troubled mind

I lay my head on my pillow
Look around the 4 great walls
N I ask myself
Do u feel my pain
Do u know how I feel
All that’s happened btwn us
It all just seems so unreal

All I can see before me is you
A face that I see in my dreams
As I lay down to rest my eyes
The tears flow down my face
Earlier I had ur shoulder to cry on
Now all that left is just an empty space

I close my eyes I see u
What we shared btwn only leaves me smiling
N if id had 2 wish upon a star
I’d pray to God to take me 2 where u are

Are you hearing me ???

Baby where were you
The time I need you the most
It’s not really the distance
Its u being so far that hurts the most

Taking each day at a time
That’s how I live my life now
But memories of u n me
Keep coming back to me

Where did it go wrong
When everything we had
Felt so right
N Before I knew it
All we had btwn us
Just flashed out of our sight

Us not being together hurts
Hurts me so bad
But they say it takes a
Stronger heart to love when hurt
And coz I love u baby
I’ll wait as long as I have to
For u 2 become a part of me

And its all because of you...

As I lie on my bed
And reflect back on my life,
I realized there was a time
When things weren’t just going right.
The going even got tougher,
The memories cut me from within,
Sure cut like a knife.

The days seemed long,
The nights seemed even longer.
Thought I was a goner,
Yet I grew stronger.
Thought I’d have to lift myself from my misery,
But that wasn’t the way it was meant to be,
Coz b4 I knew what was happening,
I saw a light shining
N all I saw was you in front of me.

Happiness is what you gave me,
U making me feel special was all I could see.
To be my happy self again,
Thought I’d had to go a 100 miles.
But then again I was wrong,
Coz u became d reason behind my smiles.

There was once a time
When everything around me seemed grey.
No colours filled my life,
Till u came along and showed me the way.
A brighter life I lead now,
N it’s all because of you.
You made my life as colourful as u,
N I can do nothing but say thankyou.

No matter what ...

No matter how farther you look,
when the road shows no directions.

No matter how long you wait,
when it's just you and the ticking clock.

No matter what distance you travel,
when it seems to be the beginning.

No matter how strong you are,
when the voices inside convinces you.

No matter how serene you pretend,
When there is constant conflict within.

No matter how mindful you are,
when everything is falling apart.

Let the time roll on, because..

No matter how long the night is,
The day is sure to come..

Like the river flows ...

As I live my life one day at a time,
I learn to accept all that comes my way.
It may not be what I want that day;
But I go with the flow, come what May.

Days, weeks and months pass by,
N I’ve learnt to accept how things come by;
Life’s not easy or wasn’t meant to be,
But accepting the challenges that come my path
And managing it the best way I can
Will help me sail through life you see.

My life was like this Ocean
Where I sailed on just like the Ship.
But I know now that somehow somewhere
I have just got to get a grip.

I know not where this journey will lead me;
Coz my life aint like the Ship anymore,
But I’ll flow on like the river
Let the flowing water carry me
And see what life has in store for me.

It’s sure going to be a challenge
With all its ups and downs,
But if so be it, I’ll meet it.
And as I live on
Like the river I’ll flow on,
Leaving my yesterdays behind
Welcoming my tomorrows with a smile.
A stronger person is who I’ll be
After all it’s I who holds the key to me.
