"Portrait of a Friend"

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts,
or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will
search for answers.

I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain,
nor the future with its untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.

I can't keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you,
and help you when you ask.

I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship,
from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.

I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,
room to be yourself.

I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces
and put them back in place.

I can't tell you who you are.
I can only love you and be your friend.

Why is it I feel like I do?
Why is it every spare moment i have
is filled with the thought of looking in your eyes?

Only someone who has felt what i feel for you,
Only someone who has spent moments in time with you,
Captivated by who you are, in awe of your spirit as I am,
Only they could possibly know how and why i feel as I do.

I know in my heart no other person has ever had just a fraction
of the love,respect and longing i feel for you,
So i tell you now,
There is no other who could answer such questions,
There is no other who could feel as I do.

You came in to my life when i was lost,
Wandering the web, evenings out,
Searching for something I craved for,
But couldn't quite understand.

You suddenly filled my life with colour,with light,
With new and incredible feelings of warmth, calm
and such unsurpassed electric s*xual chemistry.

We are both travellers on this forbidden road,
Journeying together,crossing each hurdle as we
come across them, savouring each moment.

I now that long ago we promised ourselves to others,
That we will never be more than we are now,
Spending brief but so wonderful stolen moments floating
on our cloud.
Our love is forbidden,so wrong to others,
Yet makes our lives complete and whole.

I know you have a very lucky man,
He has you and I hope you will always
be loved as you deserve.
You have so much and I promise you,
It will always be safe,
It will never be anything but secure,
Our love remaining as it must,
Secret,hidden within our hearts.
But I hear myself say,
They are lucky, so very lucky.

Promise me this,
when such a day comes where
our hearts must part,
Once the tears have dried and
your spirit 'so' once more,
You will sit back,close your eyes,touch your heart
and know that although we are no longer together,
I am always there, so very close,
That you need only dream for a a moment
to loose yourself in all the wonderful, magical
and lasting memories we have made together.

I love you so much Her,
Why do i feel this way?
I now know why,
Because ive totally lost my heart to you
and whatever happens in the future,
I know you will always carry a part of me with you.

I cant eat, I cant sleep
I think about you day and night
Why cant I ever learn
That you will be alright,
Ever since the fight
I wish I could hold you tight
I thought you were the one
I thought you were my boo
But now I know that could never be true
You told me that you loved me
You said you wouldnt lie
You said you wouldnt go out
The night that you got high
You went to that party
Although you said you wouldnt
You tried to drive home
Though you were so drunk that you couldnt
I wish that you were alive
So that I could tell you one more time
That I love you and goodbye

Waking up, looking at you
and knowing the sun is high in the blue-
I realize everything is beautiful.

Feeling you brush across my cheek
brings my morning to its peak-
I realize everything is beautiful.

Sipping my coffee, I look into your eyes
Ones full of life, joy, love and surprise-
I realize everything is beautiful.

Hearing the words slip from your lips
those same which greeted me with a morning kiss-
I realize everything is beautiful.

Love, you don't know what you do
But every move... makes me more in love with you.
So, Good Morning, Beautiful. You are My Everything.

Good morning, as you rise and shine
Another day in life is here
The hour has come to redefine
Your journey ‘cross the wild frontier
Beneath a sky, in cobalt hue
You’ll stroll along your merry route
While I hope all the best for you
As you continue your pursuit.



Good morning, as the moonlight fades
And you begin your daily chores
The dawn is bright; open the shades
Then, dream until each wish is yours
Throughout the day, you’ll move in stride
As I hold your heart in each prayer
Every time that you look outside
You’ll know that I am waiting there.



Good morning, as you greet the world
Once more, your life begins anew
A fresh beginning has unfurled
And brought your goals within your view
While you seek to embrace your dreams
I’ll wish you well, ‘til day is done
I’ll keep you safe, beneath my beams
Have a great day! Regards, the sun.

Cry my angel
You are safe in my arms
I promise to tell none
Of your tears;
I’ll wipe them away
With a smile and a kiss. . . .

Cry my angel
You are safe in my arms
I promise I won’t let you go;
When your fists are pounding and your heart is bleeding
I’ll save you from love
I’ll save you with love. . . .

Cry my angel
You are safe in my arms
I promise you can fall apart-
I’ll pick up the pieces
And put them together
I’ll lend you a piece of my heart. . . .

Cry my angel
You safe in my arms
I promise I won’t walk away
Take your anger right here
Don’t hurt yourself-
Your words I won’t let hurt me.

Cry my angel
You are safe in my arms
I’m here and I’m not letting go
Until your heart is whole again
You stay in my arms
In my arms
I’m not letting go.

It was not so long ago
when I thought I'd never meet someone like you.
Wrong was I, thinking I'm in control
Believing I'd never fall.

All my life I thought no one would
melt a heart like mine, a heart so cold,
a heart hardened by the past,
protected by shields so vast.

Slowly I was falling
without even knowing.
Only to find out too late
I have no choice but to accept my fate.

I could dream, I suppose
forever, I could hope
there will never be any 'us', that's our destiny
so I wake up to reality.

I lied when I said
I didn't love you,
that my feelings for you
are through.

I lied
not because I wanted to
but because I love you
and I still do.

I wouldn't do a thing to hurt you
but I just have to let go.
I can't hold on much longer
'coz for us there's no forever.

Take my hand and follow me
to that place I long to be.
Take my hand and trust my way,
in that place forever stay.
Follow me toward the sand;
we'll run and play, hand in hand.
Take my heart and hold it true;
forever I'll stay close to you.
Seize my words and listen well,
then forever I will tell.
Release your heart and feelings too,
just as I will do for you.
Trust your heart and follow me,
to that place we long to be.

You changed my world with a blink of an eye
That is something that I can not deny
You put my soul from worst to best
That is why I treasure you my dearest Marites

You just don't know what you have done for me
You even pushed me to the best that I can be
You really are an angel sent from above
To take care of me and shower with love

When I'm with you I will not cry even a single a tear
And your touch have chased away all of my fear
You have given me a life that I could live worthwhile
It is even better everytime you smile

It so magical those things you've made
To bring back my faith that almost fade
Now my life is a dream come true
It all began when I was loved by you

Now I have found what I am looking for
It's you and your love and nothing more
Co'z you have given me this feeling of contentment
In my life something I've never felt

I wish I could talk 'til the end of day
But now I'm running out of things to say
So I'll end by the line you already know
"I LOVE YOU" more than what I could show

You're a true friend,
that I want you to know,
Our love for each other
has helped us to grow.
We've been through some tough times,
but we've made it through,
The only one I ever trusted was you.

You helped me through anger,
you've chased away fears.
You held me through sadness,
and kissed away tears.

You stayed by my side
when the world turned away.
You helped me see joy
when the skies were all gray.

You were the rainbow
at the end of the storm.
You help me be different
when I shouldn't conform.

You held my hand
when you knew we would fall.
Every heartache,
you saw me through it all.

I'm not sure
I'm always the best friend to you,
I know I'm not perfect,
but this much is true.

When life gets you down,
And there's nowhere to turn,
I'll help you through and
I'll share your concern.

I'll try my best to return every favor,
When you're sure that you'll drown,
then I'll be your lifesaver;
Even if we both go down.

Whether we sink or swim
doesn't matter at all,
Just know that I'll be there
whenever you call.

I'll pull you out
when life pulls you under.
I'll be the sun
when there's lightning and thunder.

And when it's all over,
And we've fought every war,
There's one thing I promise,
Of this I am sure,
When the time comes
that we're put to our rest.
Be sure that you know that,
My friend, you're the best.

And if there is Heaven,
then I know you'll be there,
That if you die first
then you'll hear every prayer.
And soon I'll join you,
but just know until then.
That I'll miss you each day
'til I see you again.

At the end of the tunnel,
you'll be my guiding light,
You'll lead me to heaven,
away from the night.

We'll be there together,
and we'll never grow old.
And we'll walk hand in hand
On the streets paved of gold.

I want to fall asleep in your arms at night
And wake up next to you every day
With dreams of you in the meantime
Knowing- with me you?ll stay

I want to do all the little things
Happy couples do
From holding hands to making love

-I want to get used to you-
Pancakes in the morning
While there?s still sleep in your eyes
Reading the paper on Sunday morning
Stay up talking late in the night

I want to know you?re there for me
And you can count on me, too
Good times or hard times

-I want to get used to you-
I want folks to want what we have
I don?t need money, cars or rings
I don?t want it all- I just want you
Not much... just everything!

I want to hear all your stories
I want you to know all mine, too
Like breathing out and breathing in

-I want to get used to you-
