Taken

I am not supposed to care
But I just want to be fair
Just be honest with you
I am starting to like you.

I should try to forget you
But what I feel I can’t undo
Because if I let you go
I’ll really miss you so.

You make me so happy
So beautiful and so lovely
You are the sun that wakes me
Though I know you are not free.

And I am wishing it’s not too late
Coz I want to ask you out on a date
You are already taken, it’s true
I am also taken…by you.

I Will Shelter You

I don’t know how your life was,
All that matters, it’s all in the past.
If those ghosts come haunting you,
I am here to shelter you.

I may never be a superhero.
Got no powers to fend you from your foes.
But if danger surrounds you,
I am here to shelter you.

I may not know how you are,
But always remember I am not far.
And if ever trouble finds you,
I am here to shelter you.

I can’t see what tomorrow may bring,
All I can promise you is this one thing.
My heart and soul are keeping you,
Because I am here to shelter you.

The Way You Make Me Feel

I never expected to feel this way,
Being with you in just a day.
Curiosity got the best of me,
Thinkin’ if this is meant to be.

I made a promise to give my heart a rest,
‘Til I’ve figured out what to do next.
Forgive me for the wrong that cannot be undone,
Those people I have hurt are long gone.

But maybe the heavens have a special plan,
That it’s time for me to have some fun.
I have never given up on love just yet,
It’s just so hard to let go and forget.

I’ve caused special people in my past so much pain,
That I know I don’t deserve to be in love again.
I am not trying to scare you away,
But in spite of this, you might want to stay.

I won’t lie to you, I’ve felt this way before,
That’s why I am so scared to open that door.
Feeling this happy I know is heaven-sent,
Having you in my life ..even just for a moment.

Without You

I am lost without you now,
Must learn to let go somehow.
Should have listened to you,
Praying things I could undo.

Forgive me for all the mess,
I guess I failed this test.
If only I tried it your way,
Maybe I’ll still have you today.

Should have believed love will not end,
If I tried to be your friend.
For this feeling will never die,
Because it will grow as time passes by.

You can put your worries behind,
Live freely and ease your mind.
For I will remain in the shadows,
Silently living ’til it’s time to go.

My Answered Prayer

One night, I asked the Lord above,
How can I lose someone that I love?
Am I so bad, He had to take you away,
Finding all the reasons to make you stay.

Maybe I really don’t know how to keep you,
Even though my love is so pure and true.
You have brought me heaven here on earth
And I put you through hell and your soul’s death.

Finally, I knelt and prayed to God,
Wishing I could take back what I had.
And if you’re not for me to have again,
He takes you now, save us all the pain.

But here you are back in my life,
More than ever hoping you’ll be my wife.
I know now, my life will be better,
Because you are my answered prayer.

Time to Heal

It’s difficult to face the day,
Thinking should I go or stay.
When I’ve lost the will to live,
For there’s nothing more to give.

It will be easier to bury the pain,
‘Coz the ache drives me so insane.
Just put the sorrow behind,
Live my life mute and blind.

The days seem so endless,
Struggling to do my very best.
With each moment of tiny steps,
Feelings are carefully kept.

Then one day, I heard the Lord,
“I am here, just say the word”.
And so I knelt and pray,
For Help is on the way.

Now, I know this ache will pass,
My sufferings will end at last.
The burden is too much to feel,
But I know, time will come for me to heal.

Loving You

A smile on your face
Cheerful thoughts to fill your days
A heart full of happy moments
For someone who is heaven-sent.

Two hands to hold you near
To stop all those tears
Share with you all the sadness
Because it’s you I love the best.

Two arms to keep you warm
Protect you from any harm
Stay strong to face your fears
For it’s you, I’ve loved all these years.

One heart that cares so much
To another soul, I long to touch
When my chance came at last
Time went by so very fast.

Three times, I burned your heart
Left you wounded, alone, and scarred.
This time, you’re gone for good.
I never really did all that I could.

You told me if this is the love I feel
That I give you five more years to heal.
Because loving you means more to me
So now honey, I am setting you free.

The Love I Lost

People keep on telling me,
You’ll get over her, I disagree.
Falling in and out of love,
Left me with a mountain of doubt.
My heart keeps missing a beat,
Wonderin’ if I will ever make it.

Women came in and out of my life,
And somehow I lived and survived.
But seeing you at the coffee shop,
Felt my heart suddenly stop.
Years went by until you came,
My feelings remained the same.

We tried to mend our connection,
Carefully thinking about our situation.
Do we pursue this untold and true love,
Asking for blessings from heaven above.
Praying we are given a chance,
To make this one last dance.

I am sorry for giving you so much pain,
Because I betrayed your love again and again.
The one and the only true person I adore,
Can never take me back anymore.
I never really knew how to love you,
Now, you’ll never know how much I deeply do.

Letting You Go

Here I am, at it again
Trying to shut down the pain.
All these years that passed us by
Should have learned to say goodbye.

Don’t know how you did it,
Turn your back in just a minute
With all the things we’ve shared
You can go on and not care.

I know you are hurting too
But you always know what to do.
On how to handle the ache
Be silent…for everybody’s sake.

I never want to be a stranger
If I have to hold on a bit longer
‘Til you believe that I still love you so
Honey, I am never letting you go.
