Tell her she's beautiful

Tell her she's beautiful,
Tell her she's all that you dream of,
Tell her how your heart races for her,
Tell her she's lovely,
Tell her she's the one,
Tell her she is all the world to you,
Tell her she has stolen your heart,
Tell her she's all that you've ever wanted,
Tell her she's all you need,
Tell her she's an angel,
Tell her you mean it,
Tell her if it's the truth.
And it better be.

Most importantly....
Tell her before someone else does.

The Great Escape - Fan Request #5

We have all got our holiday homes.
A place we go when we need to be away from daily routine.
The escapade.
We escape from monotony.
Sometimes we leave cause we need to be away.
We run away from what we believe to be harmful for us.
Or from what we would rather not face.
Sometimes any other place would do except for here.
Not all of us can afford to run away to a new place.
To find a new home to dwell or a resort to relax.
We are the kind that run from the inside.
We leave reality and find something that we make to be real.
We cease to exist where we are and begin to live where we wish to be.
We find our solace in places that the world cares less to explore.
We make up our own worlds where life is different.
Where life is easier.
Where life feels real.
We'd rather live in our heads than in a cruel world of our own.
How exciting to choose the kind of land you are to be born into.
To choose your lifestyle...
Customised to your liking.
How beautiful it is to run.
How beautiful it is to escape every once in a while.
To be where you want to be.
With the people you want to be with.
To feel protected, secure and rest assured
that theres always a place you can run to...
Especially when lifes not all that rosy.
I run all the time, I run to my place of thought
To my island of rest and to my world of sureity.
I run to a place where only I know.
A place that only I go.
And someday, when you understand me and my need to escape...
I'll take you there too.

Second-hand

She sold her love for the sake of her life.
She sold her purity to a man she didn't love.
And then she sold everything that made her the beautiful girl that she was.
She wasn't proud, but atleast now she knew she could survive the day.
At least now she knew that she would be able to pay
for the food she hungerd for
and the rent that she was indebted to pay.
Uneducated, bruised and badly abused,
'True love' was a phrase she never thought about.
It was a dream she knew that could never come true.
No man could look at her now as a symbol of beauty.
No man could look into her eyes and even think of love.
They looked at her only with lust.
Their eyes always looked evil to her.
And every set of eyes that looked at her gave her the shivers.
This was her life now....
The shivers she got everytime made her want to run away.
Judging eyes every where she went.
They looked down upon her.
What do they know of her life...
Of her heart that beats for a normal life....
For loving eyes.
If she had a choice or if she knew better,
this would not be her life.
She knew she was worth so much more.
She wanted to escape and start all over again.
But would all over again be different this time around.
Or would she reach the same place again.
Soon, she felt like there was no hope wanting to start over.
Death seemed to be her only escape.
She knew no love.
She didnt belong to anyone and no one would miss her.
No one except for her regulars.
They too wouldnt mourn her death.
If they did, they would mourn with one of her colleauges at a good rate.
She felt worthless... She felt lifeless.
This wasnt life. This was already death.
No man would want her to be his wife.
No man would ignore the fact that she now was 'second hand'.
She has a heart that beats, but her soul was sold for a price too little.

Where we're at... - Fan Request #4

Who can define something like this?
Who can say where we are right now.
From friends to 'We don't know yet'
There's not a word that can justify us somehow.

We have definitely grown from what we were at the start
Trust, faith and sharing with open hearts.
Comfort and great company we truly have found.
Wherever we are, we wont crash to the ground.

From sweet nothings to something more.
From somewhere in the past to right now.
A mutual understanding and a fondness has grown,
it isn't difficult to see where this is going.

But why must there be a word to describe where we're at?
Would it trouble if we don't tag it?
Everything's amazing now without a name.
Let time play that naming game.

But then again, how answerable are we to those around...
who cant understand why we are 'namelessly' bound.
Will it be difficult for immature minds to see
That this is a something that's better left to 'be'

So maybe now we're not ready to say
What it is, that has us feeling this way
But when we are we will know for sure...
Till then, I'd like to think we're heading towards something more.

Ignored a cry.... didn't get a goodbye.

Dedication:
To an angel up there, looking down from heavens window... :)

A dear friend of mine fell ill too young.
After which she didn't have the energy to do what friends do all the time.
Hang out, meet up, go places, travel together, share a meal somewhere.
But I wasn't sick, I was all too well.... I'm definite my body was healthier than hers.
As far as my mind and my heart.... i can't say it was all too well.

Till date I cant tell if I didn't go to see her because my life got too busy...
or cause I was leaving her behind, tired of waiting on her.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a minute to spare while passing by her house.
It's not that I didn't want to meet her. She was a dear friend after all.
But my heart wasn't strong enough to see her that way,
To see how a body full of life can one day become something so feeble, so delicate.
I feared the darkness that had now become part of her life.
My heart wasn't strong enough. It couldn't think of HER. It could only think of her suffering.

Insensitive towards her and over sensitive to the illness she had drawn, I stayed away.
Its something that I regret everyday.
The excuses I came up with, the lies I told,
Just so that I wont have to pass her place time and time again,
Just so that I wouldn't have to drop by and say hello.
I did meet her once in a while... but a while to rare to even call me a good friend.
It was disheartening to see her that way. But I disheartened her by not showing her my face.

And a day came when she called me up, I knew it was the same reason again.
She wanted to meet me, she wanted to see me, she wanted to say hello.
But tired of the lies and running out of excuses to give, I ignored the call.
And the next day, came a call from a friend, 'she's no more' she said.
And then I did what I should have been doing before this happened.
I visited her house, I went to see her, I longed to talk to her, to laugh with her.
But by the time i reached she had already said her goodbyes and i wasn't there.

A lesson for life, put your fears behind you, especially when they come in the way of loving someone.
There's no better gift than love. Love can save lives. If not save, at least sustain them.
Don't fear suffering, embrace it and know that it is part of life. Face it and Smile.
Touch a life, don't leave it to die. Answer your calls, don't wait until it's goodbye.

Its getting hard for you to hold on...But this time, I wont give up. - Fan Request #3

Yes, I've made mistakes and yes, I've given you reason to leave.
But you held on, for some reason you held on.
I make mistakes, my love is faulty
but i'm learning, I'm learning from you, I'm learning for you.
I could spend my whole life learning....
Learning what it is to love unconditionally.
especially if it meant that one day I'd be loving you and we'd be happy.
I know where we are, I know it's the edge...
I know it's easier to fall now than it was when we fell in Love.
But I also know that we are beautiful. And if beauty was meant to be, then so be it.

This skin I've got on, it doesn't allow anything to enter or to encroach.
But you, you fought no battle to get past these walls.
You just strolled in. Like the walls fell at your command.
Days passed and I had to acknowledge that you are definitely a force.
A force that blew my heart away, that swept my feet of the ground.
Your hands are growing shaky, they seem unsure and they don't hold me like they used to before.
But i wanna hold them and I'll hold them tight,
Because we wouldn't have come this far if there wasn't something we were heading towards.

And here I am, begging you to stay, to hold on,
don't drop me, I might not stop falling.
Dont give up on me. I'm not giving up on this.
If you leave now, those walls will go up again.
And they'll never fall, not even when I want them to.
You hold a key, a key to the innermost part of me.
To the most vulnerable piece of my soul.
And I could trust no one but you with it.
so please, don't leave, don't be blind to whats in front of you.
If only you could see what I see...
I see us defining forever, I see us personifying 'Always'.

Space

If space is what you want.
You don't need to fight for it. Take it.
I'll give you all the space you need.
Space to think, Space to heal, Space to breathe.
I want nothing more than for you to be happy.
Let that space be your playground to meet new people, to make new friends and to build new relationships.
Space is what you wanted. Use it well.
Dont let the enemy into your space. Choose your friends well.
Remember what you stand for and don't settle for anything less than that.
This space was given to you because you wanted it.
I wouldn't be the one to stay away so long otherwise.
I'm watching from a distance, watching your step,
praying everyday that this space you wanted is enough and more for you.
From a distance I'm praying that you'll want me back in that space one day.
From a distance I'm hoping you miss me enough to allow me back in.
I'm longing for the day you no longer feel the need for that space and we can go back to what we were.
Go back to where we were....together.
But then again, God forbid,
You might fill that space up with someone, replacing me,
And that..That would just break me....

Under The Umbrella- Fan Request #2

The umbrella has heard sweet nothings...
That were meant to be whispers to the world.
It has shielded two from the harshest of storms
And brought them together, their lives to unfurl.

They fell in love under the cloudy skies
They smiled and dreamed of each others eyes
It wasn't long before the weather changed
It wasn't long before things turned strange.

They kept to themselves words that should have been said,
They hid back tears, that later were shed.
Under the umbrella hid two fearful hearts...
Afraid of not only the storm but the shadows in the dark.

A lot has taken place under the old umbrella
Kinds words may have been spoken.
While rain drops fell and the sun shone harshly
Some hearts might have been broken...

Under the umbrella now stood just one.
For what came together must fall apart one day.
After the rains, came an overpowering sun
And he stood under the umbrella in dismay.
