By the Shore

Do you still remember me? That girl that you transformed into a woman? Do you remember the things that you told me? They have never left my mind. You have never left my heart. You told me to look into the sea when I felt homesick...when I missed you. I'm still here, waiting by the shore, but I can't find you. You've moved on into the depths of the city. I miss you desperately even though I know it is useless. I just wanted you to know that my heart still beats like a drum when I remember your face. My stomach becomes an entrapment of butterflies, ready to burst. Yet, I have learned how to live without you. Not that it is easy or that it doesn't hurt, but it is necessary. I want you to know that even though my body might go away from the shore, my heart and soul remain here waiting for you, by the sea. Waiting for the day that we can meet again. I fear and hope at the same time that we meet and that I fall for you again. People might have many weaknesses, but mine is but one and has a specific name: yours.

The Way You Make Me Smile

You have no idea of the kind of smile you put on my face, do you? It's THAT kind of smile... the one that goes from one ear to the other and lightens up your heart.

I love you

I love you

You that make me laugh
You that make me keep holding on

You that make me forget all the problems

You that love me back

You that know me more than I do myself

You that kept waiting for me all this time

You that gave me life

You that gave me the greatest love

You that I miss the most

You that made me who I am

You that make my sun shine

You... all of you

Thank you for been in my life

I love you.

Let it Fall

Let it all fall over me, I don't mind. I know you'll be there with me, and that's all that matters.

A Part of Me

I loved you. Maybe I still do, but of that I am not sure. Maybe my love for you is simply sleeping. Tired of not being able to flourish: Tired of not being able to grow. Condemned to be eternally there, but not really. 

Yet, sometimes, I think it's just a beautiful memory. A memory that I would love to live through again. You were the first. The first to treat me as a woman. The first to make me feel like I'm beautiful.

Thanks to you, I have grown so much. Thanks to you I can say that I've lived a great love.

Deep inside, I still have hope. I still wish that someday in the future, fate gives us another chance. Because in one way or another, you will always be a part of my life: A part of me.

Miss having you by my side.

I NEED YOU - I NEED HOPE

All I ask of you is a fair fight.

Please, don't let go of hope

Even if you don't believe in it anymore,

keep it close to your heart, just in case

If you are scared, hold on to hope

You will feel me in it.

Remember that I need you

Please, remember I have already lost too much

I don't want to lose you, too

I don't want to lose my hope
