The Most Wonderful Man In My Life

I know about your life,
I know about your struggles,
I know about your sighs,
And I know about your flaws.

You aren't perfect, nobody is.
I know you made mistakes, but that's all in the past.
You have given me great lesson, I know I ought to learn.
During the heartbreaking moments, I've seen you at your worse.

Father, you are not alone and never will be.
I have been there even when you didn't notice me.
I've seen your tears and I still remember,
The time when you said that you cared for us all.

You smile but I can see the lines of hopelessness,
You might not be that strong but you're courage is tremendous.
I might have disobeyed you somehow in the past,
Forgive me, I didn't mean to hurt you at all.

My dearest dad, I hope you'd see somehow,
That soon I'll live a life of my own,
My brothers and sisters won't always be there,
And you won't always be here,
So let's live life like it's our first and our last.

As you grow older, I know it won't be long,
That I must face the fact that I need to be strong.
As the eldest, I have a great responsibility,
And that is to carry the weight that is pass upon me.

But how could I, if you won't let me go?
You're the wall that halts me wherever I go.
You may not know it, but I feel so far,
The priorities made don't go always as planned.

I love you and that would never change,
Forget all the bad, forget all the blames.
Without you, there is no me in this world.
Without you, there would be no lessons learned.

Please be kind and gentle as can be,
I care and love you forever, you see?
Darkness should not overcome the simplest of love,
Whatever happens, you'll always be the best dad.

The Most Wonderful Woman In My Life

How I adore you're strength,
How I love you're kind heart,
How I wish I could be like you,
How I wish I could do the things you do.

You're brave and smart and I adore you,
You're my light in the darkest night.
You lift me up through my darkest hour,
Surely, you are my hero in disguise!

I'm weak and pessimistic but you were the opposite,
With you with me, there's never a doubt or worry.
You're there to give me a reason to live and be free,
Because you are there to lead and to guide me.

But I have to face this world on my own,
Gone are those moment that you have to be there.
I'm grown and somehow capable of being rational,
But still I think of you as someone so special.

I know that time will come that I will mourn,
Because you will leave and I'll be left alone.
You'll be no longer here on the time that I'll need you.
And all I can do is wish that somehow I'll see you.

I love you and I'll never forget.
You are truly the wisest woman that I've ever met.
The advice you gave me and the things you taught me,
Will always be treasured inside my heart.

I wish I have half of your amazing talent,
And I wish you'd stay young forever just so you can hold me.
But I must face reality and I must face the truth,
You'll not always be here and so I must learn.

I love you so much, my sweet and caring mother.
I wish I could keep you in my arms forever
You are my valiant hero in times of despair.
You are God's gift to me, thanks for all the love that you shared.

I Love You But I Hurt You Because I'm Scared

Can't you feel it, can't you see it?
Are you deaf, are you blind?
Do you really think I hated you,
Despite all the things you said?

Don't be a fool, don't be so cruel.
I care you for you, but I don't want you to see.
It's not really you, It's about me.
I'm sorry, I hurt you, please do forgive me.

The tide is high, the silence is loud.
I thought you heard me say the sweetest words,
Despite the large crowd.
I was wrong, because you didn't.

Loving you is like a thorn in my heart,
I'm afraid to fall deeply in love because I'm scared to be hurt.
But you frighten me in such beautiful way,
The smile you give me, enlightens me every day.

I like you and I love you, does that make sense?
I want you, I need you, would you even care?
I know I hurt you by saying goodbye,
If only I have the power to turn back the time.

A Long Lost Desire

Would you take this last chance,
Would you let me walk passed?
Every little special things that we had and believed,
The time we felt like there's no someone else,
The sweet loving memories that is now come to past.

The brightest star isn't there anymore,
The spark and intense feeling are faded and gone.
Will you follow and tell me how much you really care,
Or will you leave and forget about the things that we once shared?
I was hurt more than you'll ever know.

I see you in the darkest part of the day,
I see you despite the dark shadows that blocks you.
You glow, you soar and you're lovelier than the stars,
You're the bravest chevalier, you're my knight of the day.
Surely you have known what I really feel.

Please don't hesitate, I will love you.
Come near me and tell me how much you care.
I've longed for this moment, please don't end it so soon.
I'm aware, I can feel, I am not a fool.
Let's start a new chapter and begin again.

I Love You

I love you.
That you ought to know,
I may not be there,
Still I'm loving you so.

I love you.
Please, don't be naive,
Whatever you're thinking,
Please, don't ever leave.

I love you.
Don't you ever forget.
Some problems may occur,
Don't you ever fret.

I love you.
My sweet funny prince,
I'll wait for you always,
You're my first and my last.

Diet and Fasting

Today, I'll do it!
Maybe tomorrow I will,
Oh this is difficult,
Will I ever win?

The scale says, "Just stop it!"
But my mind says, "Please, don't!"
Whatever they want,
I just can't let it go.

"Be brave," says my heart,
Whatever that means?
It's not like I'm dying,
I just want to be lean.

My mouth can't stop munching,
My mouth can't stop drooling,
If living means restricting,
Then just let me die.

Some think it's just easy,
To fast and to break.
If only they'd try it,
They sure'll be insane.

It is never easy,
It never will be.
So don't try to tell me,
To lose more or I'll sue!

A Troubadours Tale: Sunshine

Once there lived a beautiful maiden named Sunshine,
She has the most beautiful heart, she has the most beautiful smile.
Beyond the two mountains, two valleys crossed the sea,
There she lived a quiet life beside the big and old sycamore tree.

Her hopes are high and her spirit is kindness,
Her hands are gold, she is the light in the darkness.
Every man will surely wish for her hand,
For there is no maiden quite like her in the land.

Her beauty fades not, she is like of sunshine.
Her name tells it so, her beauty is so fine.
One day, a stranger came, disturbed her simple living.
The things he did was simply mind blowing.

Come ye, come all and hear thou story,
Of a maiden deflowered by a man crossed the sea.
No questions asked and no problems were answered,
Only a gash of blood dripping beneath the cupboard.

T'was a tragedy for a sweet innocent child,
T'was a tragic indeed now everything's denied.
Her heart once so pure, so kind and so sweet,
T'is now full of anger, like poisonous thorns in a wound so deep.
