Together
By JFarrell
Together,
In each others’ arms,
We look up at the moon,
Together.
In the darkest indigo
Of a cloudy night
The moon bursts through the clouds
A bright silvery guide, in the sky
Some of the thick cloud is inpenetratable
And makes the moon look like a heart,
My heart, bursting with love for you
Can you feel my heart beating?
Can you feel my arms around you?
Can you feel my soft kisses on your neck?
Your moon is younger than mine
After all, we are six hours apart,
But, under the moon,
We are both here, now
Together.
I so love you.
"Tragic,
tragedy can be,
with repeating sounds of words,
or screams and cries;
pain is a universal language.
Everyone knows it,
this I believe.
But,
even then, there's plenty
of discontent for which has and has not
been felt,
as though suffering is to be measured.
I've seen it, you have, too,
the pain of the neighborhood,
tires slashed throughout,
just another siren,
crying,
at my end of the city.
Such a pity, and then
the loud clash
of the car crash,
one having smashed into the other,
and in this moment of pain,
this tragedy,
comes unity,
Humanity.
The unprovoked question
of the desire of assistance,
the rush to the scene
seen by me
of the people who live on this block,
calming the sobbing mother,
bringing the young ones out from the cold,
the old man sweeping the broken glass,
no police having arrived yet.
Yet, nothing but pain
bringing us together,
celebrating that everyone is okay.
Silver lining,
pain unites,
every little thing
is going to be all right,
the radio said so."
Let's, for a minute, pretend. That reality is a figment of our imaginations, and a nightmare in which people choose to live in... let's pretend that it's only us and the stars, the clouds, the dusk... well, let's focus on us.
I know it's irrational to move away from the grasps of the inevitable reality in which this world forces us to feel emotional and doubt who we are and what we feel... but let's just pretend and be happy, even though we know it's not real...
In this place we call a "dream," let's be together and do everything that reality prevents us from doing... Let's fall in love and have hope and be just fine with no anxiety and smile about all the great things we could do together...
Let's just pretend...? Only for a moment..

Look at me
Look past the clothes
Look past the skin
Look into the soul
Tell me what you see
My heart does not play around
Hurt my feeling you made a sin
God brought us together
He is the one that found
The beautiful relationship to be
The one that will last forever
God knows it will be him
A broken heart....In pieces...Never
In this passionate love we will swim
Trueness is forever
Fate brought us to one another
Hearts intwined are even better
We will wear on us a heart to show our love
It replaces the scar-let letter
Our relationship will fit tighter then a glove
We will never neglect
True romance will reflect
Treat eachother with respect
Promise truthfully we will never part
Promise I will not get a broken heart
Look at me
I hate the way I must be
Can't you see
I liked you from the start
I would not want you to leave my sight
If we disagree
Lets not fight
Promise you'll keep away the fears
Help me with the hurt
Keep away the tears
Do not be a tease
Playing with my mind
My love is what I will freeze
Trying to hurt me is so unkind
Be sweet to me
You'll see what you find
Let our spirits free
Understanding
rearranging
Look inside
sick of paging
Hope you had not lied
Forever
Such sins
Finding out the truth I've cried
Together
It just begins
Leaving eachother
Look at me
Look beyond
Can't you believe
That we have a special bond
So I guess this means I have to leave

In my heart
I feel love for two
This feeling from me won't part
I don't know what direction to take
My feelings are a mess
The choice is hard to make
My heart can't deal with the stress
In my heart
It's so confused
From neither do I want to part
They both get me amused
One is I should just be a friend
But which one I don't know who
They both remain in my heart till the end
I've know one longer
But does that help much
Would that make my feelings for one stronger
Or should I go by his touch
My hearts in a struggle
I don't know what to do
Maybe both I could juggle
I should just be unhappy and blue
Maybe I should just remain alone
Stay all by myself
And turn my heart back to stone
And leave it on the shelf
What have I gone and done
I've fallen for two that are great
My heart they both won
Everyones heart is at stake
And I know I can only go on with one
But both bring me joy
With both I have so much fun
And niether play me like a toy
God please help me
To make the choice that is right
Just from me don't let them get free
I don't want them to leave my sight
I want them to know both I love I hope they can see
But why make my life so complicated
Why do I have to make a choice
Soon my heart's going to be dislocated
I have to listen to my own voice
Why can't I have my cake
And eat it too
God show me which is fake
Show me which life I make new
In my heart
The answer is there
From both I must part
Because for both I truely care
They both stole my heart
Why can't we share
I should of only chose one from the start
God Why can't you hear
I have such a brian fart
They will be a great memory in my mind
The both of them
Will never from me part
This is cruel not kind
The both of them will remain in my heart
I still want them both
To love forever
But it's against my oath
Im in a bind
With them both I can't be together
So someone else I must find

In passing time
We may lose the ones we deeply love
But part of them will still shine
And in our hearts new love remains true
It may be hard for us
To go on from the past
But for that person they would want us to move on
For thier love will always in our heart last
And they would want you to stay strong
In passing time
I will be by your side
Every single day
Your tears don't hide
Every night for you I'll pray
In me please confide
I will help you through days that are tough
Pick you back up when your blue
For you my love I'll always help you when things are rough
This I hope you knew
Days when you know you're going to cry
Let me know so I can wipe the tears away
When I tell you "I love you" It's no lie
I want to be with you every day
Through sunshine and rain
In every way
So I can take away the pain
In passing time
You will always come out on top
Through thick and thin
You are strong and you no one can stop
This struggle You're determined to win
I will be by your side forever
I will always be here
What I want with you is stay together
I will always wipe away your tear
No other guy from you will steal
They won't ever take me away
Because their love isn't real
With you I want to be with everyday
I'm going to stay with you forever
To cherish your touch
To love eachother
To show I love you so much
Through this passing time

Everything we've gone through
These past weeks how can you just throw away
When deep down inside you knew
Our love was growing stronger each day
Even though I still got you as a friend
My days are still not blue
But you promised you wouldn't let the magic end
Baby please don't leave me
Please stay
Don't set what we have free
Just because that's the way she wants it to be
Sweetheart can"t you see
God brought us together for a reason
So that stupid broken heart
It wouldn't be with us this season
I guess you didn't mean what you told
Now I'm falling apart
To me, Lies are what you sold
I loved you from the start
But I guess you were too blind
To see the feelings I still have inside
Someone so special again I'll never find
At least towards the world My love for you I won't hide
You promised you wouldn't make me cry
But I guess that was just a dream
Now I feel not myself
My love I need you to seal the seam
So I don't get lost in sadness and happen to die
If you don't want me put me back on the shelf
So I can just collect dust
And sit there with no glisten
In my eye
For me now alone is a must
To the world I'll say bye
A word from my lips
So many tears falling no one will listen
All I want is for you to not disappear
From my life
My broken heartbeat I hope you hear
Because Only you can repair
What has been broken
Why can't you understand
Your love is my token
I want to cherish and keep hold in my hand
This special gift God has given
It's like without you I don't want to go on living
I want to stare into your eyes forever
Have you hold me in your arms
Say "With me only you want to be forever"
To always send your loving charms
To give me your gentle kiss
Yes the one I melt for
The one I so much miss
Honey you're the only one I adore
You're the only one that makes my heart skip a beat
Makes my feelings fly
I only with you want to create passion
Feel the heat
I ask of God to let us always be friends
For years ahead
Til the end
Remembering on what you said
"I love you too"
That my love I already knew
And guess what sweetheart
I love you
I have from the start
I care for you so
There are so many feelings
I just hope you know
I'll never leave your side no matter what
I pray to God you'll never let me go
And next to you Ill always stand
Because only you can make me glow
So someday down the road once again I hope you'll be my man
This time no one will tare us from eachother
Because this time around
Our love will be stronger then ever
I thank God everyday you're the one I found
In my heart you'll be there forever
I want no other
So please keep that in mind
For when I get you back I'll never let go
Because you're a precious find
That at least I hope you believe
And deep down inside you know
You I can never leave
And even though I can't show it my love will grow
Someday I'll show
Someday I'll make you believe
That we're meant to be
Your charm I always fall for
When we come back to eachother
I'll never set you free
Your love I want more
Just you wait and see
Together won't be a bore
But for now God is in control
Soon all the memories I can store
Always know my heart you stole

The way you smile
Relaxes and makes me feelwarm for awhile
You alone make me see
You are the only one for me
The way you caress
The feelings you express
When I'm laying down thinking you're the one I miss
And that only makes me more crazy for your kiss
Baby could it really be
You're the only one for me
When I'm in the warmth of your arms
I'm head over heels for your charms
I feel so happy so free
I know it's for true
Deep in my heart
I will always and forever belong to you
From the first day we met from the very start
All this time God knew together we would be
He knew you are the only one for me
I like it when I get captured in your trance
If I could I can get lost in your eyes everyday
For me to fall in love with you only tookone glance
Even in school " I Love You " is what I wanted to say
I know one day with you I'd get to romance
In our own special way
You are the only one for me
From here to the moon above
When I'm with you in my mind
You set me free
It's true you're the only one I love
You're precious and kind
With you I only want to be

Just remember you're not alone
I know how you feel
My heart was once stone
One day your heart I will capture
It I will not steal
Your heart I won't rapture
Your wounds I'll heal
Your tears I will dry
Your fears I'll take away
I promise we'll get by
I promise we'll make it to the next day
I promise our hearts will fly
Just promise you'll stay
Our hearts will join as one
Come take a walk with me
My tears weigh a ton
Lets set our minds and feelings free
To face my fear I have won
Lets have people see
We're having all the fun
Our relationship will remain
Our love will forever be
