If I Say I Love You

I love you, I swear I do
But it is complicated
How to get it communicated,
So to prove I truly do.
I do not know if I am ready
If I am ready to be needy
Because I know,
Love is deeper than deemed
She is steeper than seemed
And realer than dreamed
Love is not for games,
As she dislikes blames

I love you, if I say I love you,
And I will if I promise I do
In more ways than one,
I will be all what you want
I will be there for you my dear,
To fight for you round the year
You are the reason I will strive,
Every other season to be alive
I will bring you flowers,
And pray for blessed showers
Because you are the best thing,
That ever happened to me

...Your Love is all what Matters...

I love you to the maximum, yes I really do.
But it's not because you have the means to pay,
For whatever as at where and when I will need them,
That swiftly fades away like the wind,
It's not because you have already made a big name,
That appeals to the whole wide world,
Even that too, comes with blames,
And it's not because you were but the only one I could love,
Or I was the only one you ever known,
I do love you because I freely and really do
So there's not much I will be asking from you.
There's only one thing I'll want you to do for me.
And that's to love me back as much as I do love you,
Because if you don't already know,
Your love is all what matters to me.

Love Story

If you think you have a great love story,
Don't tell it and don't sell it until you have really lived it
Because someone somewhere have somewhat kind to tell
Wait and watch those who have lived it tell it and learn it
Be ready and willing to learn about this journey as they say it is
Yes, do it before you really start the practice
Some people lived theirs over a lifetime,
But others have justifications to post
It's a sacrifice, the priest mentioned over a thousand times
But never once explained what exactly that then means

Love is not a Play

No matter how far away from me you are,
I'll always be close enough in your heart
You are all what I see when I close my eyes,
So I'll never see a reason to tell you lies
Not in my humble person,
Nor in my faithful letters
For all the days you've been away,
Feels just like the days on a sickbay
Thoughts of you intoxicate my brain,
It's what sets my heart ablaze
Your smiles make things rain
It's what I crave over the days
All what I have is all what I gave,
So please do not play with my affection

I am Still an Amateur Lover

I am sorry but I must admit,
That I am not so good at this
Not so good at proving my love
Maybe I am just not smart enough
To make you see how I feel inside,
To please you as you will please
And to be the person you want
I am sorry I don't call very often,
But it's not because I careless
Or because I know you always will
Sorry I don't make you happy,
But it's not because I'm heartless
Or because you don't deserve it
Please do understand me,
That I am still an amateur,
Who's still learning the art of love,
And so so sooner or later,
I will be there to hold you in my arms
To touch you and make you laugh
I will be there to kiss your lips
And show you what true love is.

If That's What Will Make You Happy

You could have just let me know,
That you needed some air, some space
I would have done just what you'd ask,
Because it hurts me to see you unhappy
There is nothing I have come to love,
Than to keep you happy with what I have
It breaks me every night and day,
That I'm unable to give you everything that you need
But If you ever need some space, some air,
If that's what will make you happy
Do not hesitate to ask me in the face
Because I will do nothing to make you unhappy

I Can Drive You Crazy

If I want to buy you flowers,
What kind should it be?
Will you love roses
Or should I buy pearls?
I can buy you Lilies
Even if you prefer Safaris

If I want to buy you gift cards,
What will you prefer to read?
Will you love to swim in romance,
Or should I get you something seasonal
I can write you something more beautiful
Something customized for you

If I want to please you,
What will you have me do?
Will you ask more than I can afford,
Or will you simply expect less?
I can drive you crazy and solve your mazes
And if you don't mind, I will be your strength

Safe Haven of Love

How can I pretend about this feeling?
About what my heart is desiring?
I don't wanna think I'm a love addict,
But trust me, you are very addictive
Because no single moment passes by,
Without your love standing by
And now, just a minute without you,
Pieces my heart into the blue
I don't wanna leave you behind.
So you have a place on my mind
You have a home in my heart,
Make it your safe haven of love

Before You Give Another Promise

Don't just tell me how you feel,
Rather show me; it'll be a done deal
Because there seem too many lies
In saying things than in doing them
Don't tell me you want to be there,
Please just prove you are really here.
And when you said you loved me,
Were you thinking or feeling?
Were you dreaming or living?
My diary is my mirror, my other me.
Don't mention the fact that you are so sorry.
Being really sorry needs no top story
So before you give me another promise,
Please do remember the last eclipse

I Loved and Still Loved You

You know I am intelligent,
You know I know what I want.
So when I said it was you,
It was indeed you and truly you
So before you walk through that door,
Just remember some times before
Life, I learned is not a bed of roses
Neither is love a sea of cotton wools
I am not saying I was expecting this,
But I was born to be this, to be me
And before you draw your boundaries,
I cannot help not telling you this one thing
That... 'I Loved and Still Love You'
But things must be if they are meant to be

I am Really Close...

Wherever you are right now,
Just speak and I'd be there
To be that warmth you miss
And to be the other half you need
Whatever you are doing right now,
Just pause and remember,
That special someone
And make that golden wish
Whatever you want right now,
Just close your eyes and smile
Because I am really close
To be all that you love and want

Find A Friend

I have searched for it for ages,
Consciously and subconsciously
But I have found it in none
Not even in the ages gone before
I have waited for you but for too long
So thirsty of the friend like a family
I have found none Like you
Not even in the bluest places
I have found you my treasure
Come relax in my love embrace
I promise to always keep you warm
Because of the friendship,
The friendship I have found in you

Till You Say It's Over

Sometimes I feel like letting it all go,
Hoping it will all really go
Not because of the imperfections
Nor because of what my dad says
I just feels like letting go for once
But each and every time,
I become so consumed by you
In your presence and in your smiles
And sometimes in the way you talk to me.
So I have come to one conclusion,
We'd be together till you say it's over

Come Back in Blues

Don't you shed another drop.
Please promise me you'll stop.
Stop worrying about the unknown,
It makes you look overgrown.
Trust me, things will soon change.
And you'll be in charge of the stage
Just let your heart be in syncs.
With the things that make you kinks
The things that your heart desires,
Are the things your persona perspires
So love good, as in, exude goods.
And love will come back to you in blues
No matter the miles away she is in space,
She'll find her way for your grace
So wipe the tears from your face
Because your time to love is due.

To A Woman in Love...

Let them call you names,
Let them do it without shame
That's all what they know,
And it's what make them glow.

What you have is the treasure they seek.
So guard your heart against theft.
Love your man for whom he is,
Because that's what he'll always be

Treat him with the respect you can afford.
He might be the best you can ever find
The balance of time respects no man's dictates
So are the chances of the man on a battle field

If he is already made and richly served,
Don't be over things like a bossy missy
Because wealth is just a piece of earth
It wears away fast when the storm comes

If he's in times that are truly bitter,
Get on and take over the fight to the next level
Who knows, it may just be your chance,
To really become the wo behind the man

To love a man is to accept his flaws.
It is to embrace his odds with your grace

Take Me Go See Your Mama

She said she like intelligent men,
I said I have wisdom
She said she like strong men,
I said I have bunker
She said she dislike rich men,
I said I spend cedis, not dollars
She said she like caring men,
I said I will be a good dad
She said I should tell her a secret,
I said I will die loving...
She said tell me what you want,
I sighed and said, you, I want you
She said aww, okay then,
Take me go see your mama

Welcome to my Premises

When I first looked into your eyes,
It felt like the burning of polar ice
Soothing like the spill of olive
And so for you, I pledge to live
When you said we could go every mile,
My inner tears turned into outer smiles
So I am gathering every momentum
To bring you love from Summer to Autumn
I will forever be true to my promises
So you are welcome to my premises

Appreciate it While it Still Lasts

You think I was blind, lost in the woods
So I cannot see what is it that you do
But don't be surprised an inch
When I tell you that you got it all wrong
You took my sacrifices for granted
Telling your friends I am not your type
You even thought I was a great fool
For choosing to swim in your pool
But let me tell you one thing you must know
Nothing good is fully appreciated while still owned

Why Did You Choose to Leave?

How much longer in time,
Must I wait for what's never coming?
You promised you will be there,
To make my world a whole
You said you aren't playing
But every time I behold myself,
I see nothing but a broken bitch
Who's still hanging on with hope
Why did you choose to leave?
How do you expect me to live?
