28. Frustration

Not knowing what to do.
Not knowing what to say.
Feeling so lost and helpless,
So confused and misunderstood.
No one understands me,
No one really cares.
I see things one way,
You see them the other.
Why can life be so unfair?
I don't know what to do anymore,
and I just couldn't care.
Life is too frustrating.

Song - You Will Always Stay

 Another star in the sky
Another angel up above
Though I miss you so,
God decided it was time for you to go
The many good you brought to me
The many things you did
In my heart they will stay

CHORUS:
In this world of plenty
You are the one thing I need
You are the one I miss
I think it's time for me to move on
Yes, it's time for me to let go
But I just have to let you know
That in my heart you will always stay.

A life that was so great has been cut so short
There was nothing anyone could possibly do
Everyone has their time, and I guess this is yours
Still I don't think it's fair that I'm down here and you're up there.

CHORUS

It feels like you are so far away
But I know with every step I take
You are with me, following behindf
So, even if I didn't want you to go
Maybe it was best
Because up in heaven you are finally at rest.

CHORUS

You will never, ever be forgotten
In my heart is where you will stay.

27. The Sonnet

Sitting here all by myself in my room
Thinking of what I could possibly do.
Perhaps a sonnet on a bride and groom?
Oh no! I think, 'cause tomorrow it's due!
Needing some major help, I run downstairs;
'Do it yourself!' everybody tells me.
Feeling hopeless, I think nobody cares.
Is there something here that I just can't see?
Oh no! I fear the time is running out!
I'm running out of sonnet ideas -
There has to be something to write about!
Seeing that sonnets are my phobias,
This is something that just cannot be won.
But looking down I see my sonnet's done.

26. Sonnet - Love

Wanting to be with you so very soon,
Just you and I is how it'd have to be.
I see no stars so I wish on the moon.
I can't stand to have you away from me.
My head is spinning and my knees are weak.
My thoughts are of you and nobody else.
My words get jumbled when I try to speak.
In my dreams I hear sounds of wedding bells.
Being with you is all that would matter;
Thinking about you makes my eyes shine bright.
Each day without you makes my heart shatter,
Together forever, always my light.
Wanting to fly far away like a dove,
So this is what it's like to be in love.

25. If Only

If only I had told you,
If only you had known;
Things might have changed.

If only we met sooner,
If only we talked longer;
Maybe I wouldn't be here now.

If only I had asked,
If only you had told;
Maybe I would know.

If only ... but now it's too late.
Now you're gone and I'm
all alone.

If only I could have stayed.

24. The Mystery Man from Afar

You admire from a distance
and so do I,
Yet neither of us decides to
make a move.
I smile and you smile back,
but nothing more.
How I long to walk over
but don't have the guts.
Throughout the night we exchange
glances until I get fed up.
I decide to walk over and introduce
myself but I'm too late.
You're leaving and to me you'll always be
The Mystery Man from Afar.

23. Memories from Florida

I never thought it could be,
The first time I saw you.
Up there on that stage,
You looked like an angel
Then later on when I met you,
I was in heaven.
Your smile was so great, it made
me smile too.
Your amazing good looks made me melt
and my knees felt so weak.
Your kindness was unbelievable;
Your humour made me laugh.
I knew you were the one.
When it was time for me to go,
We smiled and said good-bye.
Walking away (on a cloud) my smile
turned to a frown,
Thinking how I'll never see you again,
And wishing it weren't true.

22. A Love that Could Never Be (Romeo & Juliet)

Through all the times we spent together,
I knew you were the one.
You were there for me through
thick and thin,
And I for you.
The love we shared was so strong
I never thought anything could go wrong.
But now people talk and they are
forcing us to stop.
Stop what we've wanted to do
our whole lives.
Stop the love we feel so strongly.
But is it possible to stop the love
so strongly felt?
The love that could never be.
