True Love

When you love someone

And you love them with your heart,

It never disappears

When you’re apart.

And when you love someone

And you’ve done all you can do,

You set them free,

And if that love was true…

When you love someone

It will come back to you.

Two of Me

I never thought I’d find myself

The day that I found you.

Plans for only

One of me

Are future plans for

Two.

Souls mates in this universe

That make the world surreal.

For when I’d given up on dreams

You showed me love is real.

And now that all my love for you

Will never cease to grow,

Please take me in your loving arms

And never let me go.

Can You Guess Whats This???

The girl's a total stranger.

She's a dream come true - is she for real or just a story?

Look at this mad one, she hasn't changed a bit!

She's still the same crazy girl.

The boy's a total stranger.

He's a dream come true - is he for real or just a story?

Look at this mad one, he hasn't changed a bit!

He's still the same crazy boy.

We were so close, and yet so far away.

Who knows what sort of compulsion we were under?

Those were strange times,

when you were so close to me.

Where are you lost?

I'm right here, if only you would look.

Even in a crowd, I was lonely.

Your memory was forever with me.

If someone stops me now,

my heart will brim over.

My steps are unsteady;

only you can help me in this.

You had no idea

what dreams you revealed to me!

I am neither awake nor asleep;

something happens (in my heart).

The Bus Stop

Waiting at the bus stop
I shivered from the cold.
When you walked up
It seemed as if
You were outlined all in gold.
You asked me if my shivering
Was out of cold or fear,
I said the cold, I’m not afraid
For you to stand so near.

Then you removed your jacket
And handed it to me,
I shyly refused your jacket,
Embarrassed so, you see.
You put the jacket on my shoulders
And back a step you took.
“I’m Priya,” I said extending my hand.
“I’m ******,” you said.. We shook.

Day after day we stood,
Waiting for the bus,
Not a single word spoken
By either one of us
Until one day I turned to you
And bravely started to say,
“I have a crush on you, ******,
And also, by the way….”

As I started to tell you what it was
That was burning on my mind,
You told me that you liked me, too,
But the words were hard to find.
I smiled a smile that seemed to stretch
To both of my two ears.
The smiling and the happiness
Erasing all my fears.

And now, my friend, you’re dying
And there’s nothing I can do,
But sit with you and hold your hand
And be forever true.
Last night while you were sleeping,
You soul just slipped away,
The words that filled my heart
Were impossible to say.
As I was cleaning out the drawer
That stood beside you empty bed,
I found a letter addressed to me
And heard your voice speak as I read.

“My darling, I’m sorry 
I’ll have to leave so soon,
You know how much I love you
And I know you love me, too.
I hope you won’t forget me
But please do try to move on,
I hope you won’t cry too much
When I’m dead and gone.”

Two silent tears slid down my face
And moistened both my cheeks,
I won’t get over the loss of you
Not for days, and not for weeks.
I continued reading the letter
That I held in both my hands,
My fingers numb as if they had
Been wrapped in rubber bands.

Now I’m standing at the bus stop
Where two years ago we met,
And as I stand here in cold
I feel my cheeks start to get wet.
I don’t think I will get over you,
Never, not in any way,
Our anniversary would have been
Two years ago today.

And on this lonely bus ride,
I sit alone without you near.
I hear a voice that may just be
The voice I’ve longed to hear.
The voice is from an angel
And his words are sweet and strong.
He tells me, “Life’s a treasure.
Learn to love again. Move on.”

And through the words he whispers
I finally start to see,
That although I’ll always love you….
It’s time to set you free.

You Are The One

I asked you if I was PRETTY, you said NO.
I asked you is I was FAT, you said YES OF COURSE.
I asked you if you WANTED to be with me forever, you said NO.
I asked you if you would CRY if I walked away, you said NO.
I had heard to much, and need to leave and,
As I walked away…..
You grabbed my arm and told me to stay.
You said…..
You are not PRETTY, you are BEAUTIFUL.
The only thing FAT, or BIG, about you is your HEART.
I don’t WANT to be with you forever, I NEED to be with you forever.
And, baby, I won’t CRY if you walked away…..
I would DIE…..

Ask Me

Ask me
I know you want to
Ask me
I’m waiting for you

Ask me
I’d never make you guess
Ask me
Baby, I might say yes.

Late-Night Talks

His name came up
On the caller ID
At exactly 
Eleven forty-three.

I answered it
In my cheery fashion
For our late-night talks
Were always my passion

But his voice told me
That something was wrong
Like a horror movie’s
Foreshadowing song.

As he took a deep breath
And told me the phrase
“we need to talk”
I was put in a daze.

“We have a connection
And get along fine
There’s nothing you’ve done
The problem is mine.”

“You understand, don’t you?
Are you still there?”  
I tried to answer
As I felt my heart tear.

“We’re gonna stay friends,
We’ll talk everyday.
Priya, do you have
Anything to say?”

A thousand thoughts were
Ready to spill
But my mouth wouldn’t talk
As my eyes began to fill.

Thoughts raced through my head
Old memories played
The thought of being alone
Made me feel so afraid.

“I’m not expecting you
To understand.
You’re an child,
Life holds different demands.”

“Still one day
When your life is exams
College applications
And activities,”

“You’ll realize why
I made this choice.
Talk to me, Priya,
Do you have a voice?”

I would have if I hadn’t 
Hung up so quick
To comfort myself,
I was feeling quite sick.

So then this is it,
This is the end.
What more can I say then?
I’ll miss you my friend.

THROUGH THE EYES OF A TEENAGER

Every day passes,
Reminding me of lessons to be learned.
Opportunities pass me by,
Showing me things to be earned.

I do not know life as an adult sees it,
Only as a child and teen.
I can only guess what life is meant to be,
Based on what I’ve seen.

Today I learned of love,
And the pain that it may bear.
You can never know a person’s truth,
Behind the masks they wear.

I do not know the meaning of love,
Or why it is never true.
I’m unsure of so many things these days,
I know less that I thought I knew.

I find it’s getting difficult,
To distinguish bad from good.
And although it sounds cliché,
I’m a child misunderstood.

I need to move on past that hurts,
Move to heaven from this hell.
I need to stand up to others,
And to myself as well.

I don’t know how to tell,
A good friend from a bad.
We talk behind each other’s backs,
Ruining the trust we had.

When I stare into the mirror,
I see things I wish I could deny.
A fear of judgment and confrontation,
I can no longer look myself in the eye.

If everybody has to go,
Through torments and through pain.
If they understand the hurt,
That is another’s gain.

If they can feel,
This burden of their fears.
And know the cost,
Of showing tears.

If they know how it feels,
To have a lover or friend,
Stab their backs with knifes.
Why are they so cruel to say,
These are the best years of your life?

Sorrows Underneath

I think of all my problems,
I think of all my pains,
I think of all my sorrows,
Until I go insane.

I think of all the smiles I've worn,
Which hide sorrows underneath.
Noone seems to notice,
That I go through so much grief.

My tears seem to keep following,
Inside my tired eyes.
Each time I want to tell you,
My words come out as lies.

These days i'm feeling distant,
Far away and weak.
My sadness pulls me further,
From the happiness i seek.

I've just begun to realize,
That my hopes and dreams are gone,
I'm walking down a dead-end road,
Humming a tuneless song.

I'm standing on a rooftop,
Although I'm scared of heights,
I'm watching the cars beneath me move,
And somehow this doesn't feel right.

Now I think of what I'm doing,
I know I should find a way,
To beat through my depression,
Will I be able to someday?

Someone might be there,
To help me make it through,
Maybe they will listen,
And tell me what to do.

I'm seeing through the darkness,
And I'm starting to trust a few,
I think I'll try to make it,
So I can be there for them, too.

When someone special leaves you

Days pass by somehow,
But nights now are a wagon of pain.
Injuries may heal with time,
But marks will always remain.
Restless on my comfortable bed,
I toss and turn and try to sleep.
But thoughts are bulking my head,
And have formed a huge heap.
The past is flashing its scorching light beams,
Tearing me apart, breaking me at the seams.
The darkness of my life is more visible in the dark,
And now I am trying to give it a voice, trying to speak my heart. 

When You Are in Love

When distances got you,
But you still hold on.
When boundaries limit you,
But you still move on.
You are in love.

When the thought of losing someone,
Gives you shivers.
When there is no space,
For fears.
You are in love.

When you find perfectism,
In imperfectism.
When everything around you,
Is bout to satisfaction
You are in love.

When you wait willingly,
When you hide and show simultaneously.
When you feel happy and sad at the same time,
When you hold on and let go at the same time.
You are in love.

When you feel that,
You are living two lives at the same time.
When your name gives rise to another,
At all times.
You are in love.

When everything inside you is beyond measures or words.
When you got endless prayers.
When you say without thinking.
When you know without hearing.
You are in love.

When hearing a name,
Makes your day forever.
When there’s a hope,
Of growing old together.
You are in love.

When you find happiness,
In someone’s smile.
When you feel ready to give away something special,
That you kept with you for quite a while.
You are in love.
You are in love, my dear.
You are in love.

All I Wnt is You

I don’t want flowers,
Red, yellow or blue…
I don’t want diamond,
I know other girls do…
And I don’t want money,
I’ve seen what money can do…
All I want is you…
All I want is you…
All I want is you… 

A Poem for Girls

Find a guy, who calls you beautiful instead of hot.

Who calls you back when you hang up on him.

Who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.

Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead.

Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats.

Who holds your hand in front of his friends.

Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you.

Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says, "...that's her."

A Confession

I was watching you sleep the other day,
And prayed that it would last.
The peace that rested on your face,
I’d never seen in the past.

I was watching you speak a while ago,
And hoped that you’d go on.
The way your words, they had no end,
Your spirit seemed so strong.

I was watching you fight the other day,
And prayed my tears would dry.
All this I knew was done for me,
And couldn’t figure why.

I was watching you smile a while ago,
And stared in total awe.
Was it me who made you shine?
Was that triumph that I saw?

And all this time you’ve waited,
And all this time you’ve helped.
And all the things you sacrificed,
For me to grow up well.

And all the tears you dried,
And all the pain you soothed.
And all the truths you had to hide,
Without a simple thank-you.

But I was watching you the other day,
And I realized I can’t wait.
To tell you how much I appreciate,
And love you in every way.

You And Me

I never thought I’d find myself,
The day I found you.
Plans for only one of me,
Are future plans for two.
Souls mates in the universe,
That makes the world surreal.
For when I’d given up on dreams,
You showed me love is real.
And now that all my love for you,
Will never cease to grow.
Please take me in your loving arms,
And never let me go.

Remember me Always

So many memories we’ve made together
As the years have slowly passed.
Tears may have been cried
But our laughter drowned them all out.
Sharing my deepest most secrets 
Till one in the morning at your house.
Talking forever about things.
Until our words just ran out.

But now you must leave,
And I stay behind.
Who will I call
When I just need to talk?
Who will you lean on
When your problems weigh you down?
Who will laugh at my jokes?
Who will make you smile?

I can’t tell you the answers 
To the questions I have.
But I want you to know
I will always love you as my friend.
And when your heart is troubled,
I want you to think of me.
Remember the times of joy
We have shared
And may be it will make you smile.
And smile you can’t take me with you,
Take the memories we’ve made
And cherish them
As I always will.

My Brilliant Friend

My dearest friend, you’ve left me,
Standing all alone.
My body’s numb with sorrow,
I don’t know my way home.

I’m lost depressed and frightened,
For you’re not here with me.
And somewhere deep inside my heart,
My friend, you’ll always be.

I know you couldn’t help it,
And you didn’t want to go,
But nonetheless you left me,
Sad and all alone.

Although I have my parents,
And other friends so close,
I don’t know why it is,
But I love you, friend, the most.

Your kindness into others,
Has washed up onto me,
You helped me out when times were tough,
And to helped to make me see.

You have been so good to me
And as I let you go,
I know you were a true friend,
And for that I love you so.

For as long as I can recognize,
You’ve helped me to be strong,
And given me the courage and faith,
To keep on moving on.

So with my sad and heavy heart,
This part comes to an end.
But I’ll not say good-bye,
You’ll always be my friend.

I'll be missing you

You are so full of life,
Always smiling and carefree.
Life loved you being a part of it,
And I loved you being a part of me.

You could make anyone laugh,
If they were having a bad day.
No matter how sad I was,
You could take the hurt away.

Nothing could ever stop you,
Or even make you fall.
You were ready to take on the world,
Ready to do it all.

But God decide he needed you,
So from this world you left.
But you took a piece of all of us,
Our hearts are what you kept.

Your seat is now empty,
And it’s hard not to see your face,
But please always know this,
No one will ever take your place.

You left without a warning,
Not even saying good-bye.
And I can’t seem to stop;
Asking the question why.

Nothing will ever be the same,
The halls are empty without your laughter.
But I know you’re up in heaven,
Watching over us and looking after.

I didn’t see this coming,
It hit me by surprise.
And when you left this world,
A small part of us died.

I remember you swinging from the hayloft ropes,
When you were just a boy.
And the last time I saw you,
You were driving your pride and joy.

Your smile could brighten anyone’s day,
No matter what they were going through.
And I know everyday for the rest of my life,
I’ll be missing you!!!

Living Without You

I keep looking in all places,
Where you are supposed to be.
But I never seem to find you,
And you’re all I long to see.

I just can’t seem to understand,
What it was that changed your mind.
All this time I thought I knew you,
When really, I was blind.

But I know that I do not hate you,
And I know I never will.
Because I cared about you then,
And I care about you still.

Even though you hurt me,
I can’t seem to let you go.
But I will go on without you,
And I want to make sure you know.
 

In Love

This feeling overwhelms me
A welling of the heart
I never truly thought I would be
This happy at the start

You take me by the hand
And lead me by the heart
Over a beach of sand
Through the grasses that we part.

With you I let go
Of intvition and sound mind
My feeling I cannot help but show
To a person who is so kind.

You kiss my lips so tender
Embrace me through the night
To you I have surrendered
Myself so hold on tight.

So strongly you hold my hand
Whisper softly in my ear
I really feel that you understand
Everything you hear.

I lose myself in you
This close I’ve never been
These feelings are so new
To have a lover who’s my friend.

My secret in silence

You came into my life
Quietly, simply, placidly
And my words stood still…

I couldn’t express in words
Or even in simple gestures
The secret I kept in my heart.

So I loved you in silence,
Admired you from a distance,
Dreamt of you from afar.

I wanted to say I love you…
I wanted to say I care.
But cowardly, maybe, you’ll only laugh at me.

In silence then I will love you…
In silence then I will care.

I HOPE

I hope you surf the waves in from the ocean,
Big and small.
I hope you watch the sunset,
From the mountains straight and tall.

I hope you sing the song to all the angels,
Loud and clear.
I hope you’ll always try new things,
Never giving in to fear.

I hope you fall in love,
With one who makes your world go round.
I hope that if you fall out,
Your feet stay on the ground.

I hope that you can understand,
That true love waits for you.
That you may have to wait awhile,
But when it comes it will be true.

I hope you feel the sand,
Hot on you’re toes on summer’s day.
I hope you learn that sandals,
Help to keep the pain away.

I hope you find a rainbow,
And realize it was worth the rain.
I hope that through your journey,
You’ll learn to balance smiles with pains.

I hope that you will realize,
Life isn’t always on your side.
I hope you know when hope is lost,
In me you can confide.

I hope that your glowing smile,
Brings someone out of gloom.
I hope you taste your life,
With more than just a spoon.

I hope that when you’re lost,
You are also one to find.
And I hope that your hand,
Never grows too big for mine.

I hope you watch the stars shoot by,
Upon a grassy hill.
I hope you know I love you,
Always have and always will.

You are all of this to me....

You’re the thought that starts each morning,
The conclusion to each day.
You’re all in what I do,
And everything I say.

You’re the smile on my face,
The twinkle in my eye.
The warmth inside my heart,
The fullness in my life.

You’re the land that’s laced in mine,
And the coat upon my back.
My friend, my love,
My shoulder to lean on.

You’re my silly, mature, caring,
Thoughtful, bright and honest guy.
The one who holds me tightly,
When I need to cry.

You’re the dimple on my cheek,
The ever constant tingle in my soul.
The voice that makes me week,
The happiness of my life.

You’re all I’ve wanted.
You’re all I need.
You’re all I’ve dreamed of,
You’re all of this to me.

Why they are friends?

Because…they smile.
Because…they understand just by looking into your eyes.
Because…they finish your sentences and know what you like.
Because…they know you better than you know yourself.
Because…with them you aren’t afraid to be yourself.
Because…you can say something stupid or expose your deepest secrets to them.
Because…everything you do together becomes a memory.
Because…you don’t need to do something special to have fun…fun just happens.
Because…you don’t need to explain anything…they just know.
Because…they tell you the truth, no matter how much you’d rather not here it.
Because…they would do anything for you and get you out of trouble.
Because…they make you laugh harder than anyone.
Because…they are not afraid to put themselves on the line for you.
Because…you can trust them.
Because…they believe in your dreams, no matter how silly they may seem.
Because…they dry your tears.
Because…you are good enough when you are with them.
Because…they love you for who you really are.

TEENAGE LOVE

He loves me…he loves me not…
Love starts as an insignificant seed.
A wishful prayer,
A tiny fire,
A playful giggle,
A rosy blush,
A risky wink,
Or a kindly smile.

He loves me…he loves me not…
Friendship buds.
A tender understanding,
A growing warmth,
A gentle trust.

He loves me…he loves me not…
The bud opens its first petals to a pair of
Sparkling eyes
Which twinkle with a new
Passion.
A passion that overcomes all sense
Until finally
A risky chance is taken…

He loves me…he loves me not…
The rose opens into a
Beautiful, ruby blossom.
Everything else in the world becomes
Lost in a crazy, wild nonsense
A happy oblivion of exhilaration
Complete and total
Joy.

A sweet, innocent kiss
In the moonlight
Seals the mutual promises
Of never-ending fiddity.
Cherish.
Honor.
Protect.
Forever…or until

The blossom wilts,
And the petals fade,
And the promises break,
But the memories
Of sunlight and blue sky
Remain fragrant
Preserved in the petals
Of sachets
Stuffed in the back of your sock drawer 
And your heart.
