Farewell Love

Farewell my greatest love

After the long wolf cry of the loneliest night
comes a new morning with the bluest sky
watching the sun blooms to a new light
In a place we used to hide

Reminiscing our happiest and saddest moments
In my thoughts and in my heart will always be kept
A love full of struggle and promises
Finally reached a new beginning

Eight long years seem like yesterday
a love thats never given a chance to last forever
torn in a world that I could never be
for I am yours wherever you may be

Yes, I did what you asked of me my love
to live like a wind, in a life full of adventures
I told of your story in a thousand ways
shared our memories in countless days

you were my life and my greatest love
a once in a lifetime journey finally found its end
where the greatest mystery becomes clearer to me today
in chapter of our past must no longer be held

to start a life and to love
with someone the way you loved me
a promise not to make her cry
to live each day filled with happiness
a gentle and selfish heart
deserves a meaningful life
for I will love her the way you hold me
farewell my love, my greatest love

My Heart

With all my heart

I can still remember the days
I've been hurt so many times
A hopeless world of broken promises
So much suffering and the pain still remains
Knowing I like you and I've taken the risk
So confused and I don't know how to deal with it
For I know you feel the same, you've been hurt too

Why trust and love seem fading in our world?
Does good deed now seek an audience?
Like charity waits for its final recognition
Need some time for awhile before it heals
Even though the scars will remind me of you
I've gambled everything, my hope
My life in the palm of your powerful words

You've given me wings and took me high
Like an angel lifting a human soul to heaven
Afraid, yes I am but trusted you with all my heart
Suddenly in our journey you let go for no reason
Letting me fall in bottomless pit of unknown abyss
If only you took me where you are
I am sure I could love you with all my heart

Now I am crawling in the valley of death
Without no one to hold neither to cry on
All I got is my dying dreams and a token of hope
I drink with my tears to just quench my thirst
Oh, shameless agony of a begging heart
Take me to the light, so I may find my way
Let the sky dim for it's burning me, so I may rest
And may the rain pour from careless heaven
So I may wash away the dust of my shivering soul
And hide away my worthless tears of my misery

Someday, somehow things will fall into its places
I bear that in mind for you are being treasured
Where the maker would take me to my final destiny
I would proudly say, I've loved and saved one soul, just one
A life who dares to make a difference in my journey
In a world built for those who understand
The worth of a meaningful living
No matter how unbelievable or crazy I am to those
Who ever understand the fulfillment and joy it brings
For I will still love and to trust someone
Whatever that might be and even it will take away
The last breath of my dying lost soul
