Time is a tortoise
When you are away
Slow and sluggish
Throughout the day

No, Time is a cheetah
When you are near
Quickly and fast
It can disappear

Ah, Time is a chameleon
Volatile and fickle
When you’re here; overflowing
When you’re gone; a mere trickle

Clearly I can read my thoughts
They only tell me one thing
How easily to me loneliness
Your absence can bring
My face loses a joyous smile
That I do always show
Whenever I have you around
Wherever we may go
My body lacks that energy
That electric feel
Oh darling when you go away
My happiness you steal

An hour without you feels too long
Too lonely and too sad
One or any other way
I feel empty in my head
In my heart I feel empty too
Aimlessly I roam
On the endless London streets
Without you there’s no home
An hour without you is eternity
How can I survive?
Come back darling straightaway
Your love keeps me alive

Those who forget how to love
Can never remember how to live
Life is very little else
Than the beating of one’s heart
To the soulful melody of romance

Those who forget how to love
Also forget the meaning of life
Forget the joys and pleasures
That true companionship can provide
Life is not meant to be lived alone
Like an island lost at sea
Life’s drink is to be shared
That it may taste sweeter

Do not listen to doubts or negativity
Many a lives have been lost to them
What good could be achieved
By suppressing your emotions?
When you suppress your innermost feelings
You are really choking yourself
To become someone you are not supposed to be

Be brave be fearless
Let not any hindrance upset you
Let not any obstacle frighten you
Give wings to your hopes
Sail across the vast open blue sky
The sky is yours to conquer
Fly fly away
Love like a lover
Ache like a lover
Live like a lover
And forget those who forget how to love

I care for you and I will
After all these years, I love you still
I keep no track of now and then
You’re my girl and I’m your man

Fill this year with one fire
The fire sparked by love
No other thing I may desire
From any being above

Fill the months with her thoughts
Thoughts that make time fly
‘Cross a range of cosmic dots
Far beyond the sky

Fill the days with her words
That sweet music to my ears
Sweeter than the sound of birds
Till darkness disappears

Fill the hours with her smell
Scent that’s made to last
The dreamy captivating spell
That only she can cast

Fill the minutes with her sight
The purest joy there is
Joy that pumps my eye’s delight
My soul’s eternal bliss

Fill each second with her touch
As our hearts combine
If time should always pass as such
The year shall go by fine

A hundred thousand times
That’s how many times a heart beats in a day
So when I say that I miss you at every heartbeat
I mean it

If you fail to give me love
Don’t think that I would die
I’d go the nearest grocery store
And a whole kilogram I would buy

If you fail to give me love
Don’t think that I would mind
I’d go to the nearest grocery store
Or any other I can find

If you fail to give me love
I won’t feel less of a man
I’d go to the nearest grocery store
Find the best deal that I can

If you fail to give me love
Leave me without a care
I’d go to the nearest grocery store
You can get everything in there

I sent a kiss across the sea
With hope it finds you easily
When asleep on your bed you lay
On your cheeks it shall stay

Sometimes we love because something stirs in our heart
Something mysterious, captivating and beautiful

Sometimes we love to drive out the loneliness
For we are incomplete without each other

Sometimes we love without understanding our actions
Love can come naturally out of nowhere

Sometimes we love because there is nothing better to be done
Indeed what can be better than to love and be loved

Sometimes we love because of reasons unknown
But we love

It doesn’t matter why we love
As long as we love

Sometimes we love like little children love a star
Wrapped in awe of each other’s light and warmth

Sometimes we love like birds love the sky
With the freedom to spread our wings and be ourselves

Sometimes we love like climbers love a wall
Clinging to each other for strength and support

Sometimes we love like the sun loves Earth
Selflessly and endlessly and perfectly

Sometimes we love in ways that can’t be described
But we love

It doesn’t matter how we love
As long as we love
