IT DOESN'T HURT THAT MUCH

Your smile cuts through my skin

Like sharp razor blades

All the way through my veins

Till it gets to the heart

But the funny thing is,

Unlike blades

This does not hurt

Instead of pain,

           I feel overwhelmed by joy

Instead of hurt

              It causes me relief

Instead of sending waves of panic,

               It sends waves of love

Instead of tears

                 It adds a smile to my day.

All I care about is being with you.

Feeling the blood rush in my veins

Feeling my heart beating faster with every touch

Feeling you next to me.

I DON'T KNOW

 I don’t know what to make of it

 It all happened so fast

 The one moment we were laughing

 Then there was the crash

 It all happened so fast

 I can’t remember it all that well

 Then there was the crash

 And you got pulled away from me

 I can’t remember it all that well

 But the lights were so bright

 And you got pulled away from me

 Into the dark of the night

 But the lights were so bright

 I can’t remember all that well

 Into the dark of the night

Then your voice died away

 I can’t remember all that well

 The one moment we were laughing

Then your voice died away

 I don’t know what to make of it

ONLY ONCE

Only once in your life, I truly believe

 You find someone who turns your world upside down

 You tell them things you never shared with a soul

 They absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more.

 You find someone who turns your world upside down

 You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true

 They absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more.

 But when life gets hard they’re nowhere to be found

 You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true

 Holding your hand all the way to the grave

 But when life gets hard they’re nowhere to be found

 They fill you with pain and cut away the love

 Holding your hand all the way to the end

 They teach that joy only comes in the grave

 They fill you with pain and cut away the love

 Then they rip your heart out and throw it away

 They teach that joy only comes in the grave

 You tell them things you never shared with a soul

 Then they rip your heart out and throw it away

 Only once in your life, I truly believe

FALLING IN LOVE

Falling head over heels

I know how it feels

But with you it’s like the first day of my life

I wanted to resist you

I thought I could stay away from you

What happened is different from all I know

I did not see it coming

This feeling took me by surprise

You stole my heart

Before I had a say

The way you look at me

The way you tilt your head when you smile

The way you gently stroke my hair

You leave me breathless when you walk in a room

You make me speechless when you speak to me

There’s something that you do that I just can’t explain.

You manage to disarm me

I can’t help but surrender my all to you

I would run miles to be with you

Walk barefoot through the dessert to touch you

Swim across the ocean just to hear your voice

Kiss a snake just to feel your touch

All I want now is forever by your side

You could be my man and I’ll be your bride

Every second without you is a second forever lost

Every sixty minutes with you is an hour well spent

You complete me

You fill my soul

You give me a reason

To get up every morning

I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.

You are where my forever begins

My happily ever after.
