Alone
Being without you is like Coney Island without any rides, A beach without sand, A fish without water, A garden with no flowers, A new born child without it's mother These things need each other Just like I need you.

Can't Wait
Tonight I'm going to let my emotions go. As I wait for you all alone. Night time is near and I can hardly wait. Looking out the window hoping you won't be late. Anticipating what's going to happen tonight. 2

Eternal Love
I love you more than life itself. My love for you is like an eternal flowing river, That will forever be yours. Eternal love we were meant to be. Without you there's no me. If you ever decided to leave, My heart would be broken, And never could be healed. My mountains would rumble, Star, moons, and sun would soon fade away. So I ask for you, Eternal love, Don't leave me. That pain would always be a part of me! 3

Friendship can last forever. If you want it to. Friendship is the most fulfilling emotion. It lets you share your goals and secrets.

Friendship

It lets you share your life with someone. Someone who will always Be there for you. Especially when you are blue.

Faithfulness Respectful Inseparable Ever lasting Naughty Devoted Sincere

Happiness between you and I Will last forever wait and see. I'll prove to you my Latin love. What I say comes straight from my heart. I'll grant you a wish And make it come true Because baby it was Meant for only you!

Latin Love

Life isn't always as it seems. We have young children searching hard For their dreams. As teenagers face many problems Some in which we can't solve them. Adults work hard to succeed in life From the elderly who have experience Is where we get our wisdom. 5

Life

I wanted you so badly, But I was shy and afraid To show you I wanted you So much to be mine only.

Love Story

But how can I let you know it? You must have heard the way My heart was beating to the rhythm Of your name.

I turn around at the sound of your voice. I, then, knew you felt the same way. It was a love story, Not my love story, But our love story.

To the one I love Who is special to me. You beat the rest in deed. You open a special chapter in my life That's why I need you in my life. When it comes that day I will be able to say Neither the angels in heaven above, Nor, the demons down under the sea Can ever take that feeling away From me. Because you are destined To be with me.

Precious Love

Accomplishment comes when you don't give up. Grey skies represent doubt. You never know how close you are To achieving your destiny. When it seems so far; Climb over obstacles when they come your way And in the long run you will be able to say "Nothing seems impossible when you don't let anything stand in your way."

Never Give Up

You You You You

want to hold me in your arms, but not yet. want to commit to me only, but not yet. want me all to your self, but not yet. say you could be the only one who will love me, but not yet. You say you want me forever, but not yet. 8

Not Yet

When we speak on the phone, It's very exciting. The meaning of your words Makes me feel like crying.

New Beginning

It's kind of weird Being with someone new. The way you hold me and kiss me too Makes me fall head over heels for you

I'm thrilled about the new relationship That we're going to have together, It makes me a little nervous, But at the same time, We have qualities that last a lifetime.

From fear of heart, Like light of day. Of fear that love, Will fade away. When conflict comes, Disasters strikes. The storm rages on The entire night. As anger takes over, A pulse hit my brain. My mind, body, and soul Is consciously insane. The light of day Breaks through the storm And hoping my heart will not be torn. In hopes to get away from the storm. The clouds and sky look dark and gray. My last tear has fallen from my eye. I promise, I promise, I shall not cry. 10

Raging Storm

Red is the blood that comes from my heart. Yellow is the light we see when we pass on. Blue is the color of the ocean, thats pure right from the start. Purple is the color of a candle for lent. Orange is the color of the sunset. Green is the color of a mint. Violet is the color that completes the rainbow.

Rainbow

Sweet heart there's No one like you. I don't know how my day Will be without the smile you gave. Your soft gentle touch That means so much, But most of all, I don't know how I would live Without your special love! 11

Sweet Heart

Gong: the clock finally struck midnight As the room fills with music and laughter, But Im standing in the corner; They speak not to me . As I begin to leave, I see the most Beautiful sight to see... His hair so soft as velvet, And his scent smells like a garden full of roses. His eyes that pierce through my heart and soul. Then the bell rings and I'm transported Back to reality. While I was asleep, I felt something tickling my feet. It was too dark to see Until I had seen eyes looking at me. It felt soft and fury, nice and warm. It was my cat next to me, playing with her yarn. 12
