Regret

Haunted by my past,
We simply just did not last
Though it's real hard to forget,
I still carry my huge regret.

I tried to move on, but where do I start?
Anyway and anyhow you just stayed in my heart
So in my heart you will never be replaced,
To have you back would be hard as a maze

With my decision, I've been torn apart
How I wish we could go back and start
But somebody already owns your heart,
If it would end that way, I guess I did my part.

I gotta have you

Her thoughts, to me serve as riddles
Her slightest actions cost me days to think
Oh you are intricate; it's what you do to me!
You leave me hanging, yet your smile kills me.

I need to see her, yes I am in haste!
Every instance we are together is about to be written,
You vanish with no definite reason,
I stand here longing for answers, waiting for you.

I'm afraid of losing you,
Someone like you, in the first place I never really had.
A man of plans will put words into work,
I just got to have you before the worst.

She (On he's perspective)

She is perfect in her own little way,
Just to see her smile gives me reason to stay
Her serene eyes always apprehend my attention;
Leaving me staggered and feeble.

The way she talks, so firm yet gentle,
With lips so supple, it can dazzle.
Her voice, it brings ease to my ears
Singing melodies that I long to hear.

Her hair looks good in any trend,
She does it all in an effortless matter.
She has this aspect which I never figured-out
A facet that makes her stand-out from the crowd.

Personality-wise, she is fun to be with,
Every second is worth-while, I wish time was infinite.
I have never been in love like this before,
It's just you who I really adore.

My sweetest downfall

I've built my world around her, hoping that she could see
Just like that, the world crushed down on me
I took the risk, for the stakes are high
High I was before, now poignant and blue like the sky.

I was dumbfounded by this thing called love,
It was too hasty, and beat me off-guard.
Helpless I am, and was looking for protection.
The reason of my happiness was the reason of my depression.

This piece of clothing will never be the same,
As it braces my body, it strikes a chord of your name;
Your name, brings a lot of memories in my mind
There would be no other like you, even I try to find.

I can't believe that there's nothing out of something
Is it well played? Or I was much assuming.
I guess it is on me to put the blame,
I was blinded by love now I'm burned by the flame.

In the middle

It strikes me when I see her smile,
I catered her well, for she was fragile.
Her heart I promised I will never break,
But it Is now or never, so the risk I will take.

Long before, we have made a promise,
"Either of us must not fall in love, or this friendship will vanish"
And so, the promise I tried to keep,
I think about it, every night before I sleep.

She makes me smile by her effortless actions.
When I am with her, I focus my attention.
She made me feel this way again,
For a long time, my feelings have been left unspoken.

Stuck on her, but I must not!
Everything from me had changed a lot.
Diverse things she had thought to me,
So I will stand by her side, perpetually.
