Once there was a man like any other man
In love – as in love as can be
He waited for the perfect time
He waited for his mother’s approval
He waited for financial stability
But that time never came

Less and less he saw
The woman he once loved so much
One day he saw her no more
And wished it wasn’t so
Others he will meet and love
But who can match his first love?

Such is the story of he who waited too long
Only to discover she was gone
Some call him a fool
Others call him unlucky
Call him what you will
But to me, he is just a coward

We may only live for 100 years
It may no difference in the end
But let us live it like a star
Giving our best every day
With persistence and diligance
Finally ending in a brilliant flash
That will forever alter the course of history

What is life
But our dreams?

Put together
We are whole
Two parts
Greater than their sum

Shall our dreams
Never be?
Unending possibilities
Never realized?

Nowhere else
Can this need
We both have
Be satisfied

From our imaginations spring
The dreams others cannot conceive
That only we
Can turn into reality

Be with me
Try with me

Let our imaginations flourish
Let our dreams come true

A life so lived
We shall never regret
The passions of youth
A sparkling memory

If it is to be
Nothing else matters

You are me
I am you

Together

I love you

Life is a dream
An adventure
A steady path of happiness
A blessing, or a curse?

A difficult decision I seem to face
Any man can see
Yet so simple
Any man can make

For what is life
Without my choices
The greater
The more I life

Today I am alive
With passion
With intensity
What more
Can any man ask?

It is these moments
That life truly is

Alone I’ve walked for many years
A path straight as an arrow

Yet along you came
With a friendly hand

With you I travel the world of dreams
Neverending possibilities
Everlasting joy

To love you is to know myself for the first time
With the happiness of another as my aim
What more can I ask?

For love is a flame
That can never be extinguished
Burning ever so brightly
To set ablaze
The true person within

There are words like freedom
Sweet and wonderful to say,
On my heartstrings freedom sings
All day every day.

There are words like liberty
That almost makes me cry,
If you had known what I know
You would know why.

- Langston Hughes

Additional lyrics from the song, “Words Like Freedom”:

Freedom and liberty are more than just words to say.
They’re lit by the fire of human desire,
these torches that guide our way.

No matter what race or background,
what faith or cause or creed,
we each deserve true liberty and the right to be free.

In the depths he creeps
Waiting, whispering

Every time I laugh, he laughs
Every time I cry, he cries
Every time I think, he thinks
Every time I sing, he sings

When I have an idea, he has two more
When I speak of friendship, he tells of honor
When I summon my courage, he sings of bravery
When I think of romance, he dreams of love

Outside the wall of dreams, he walks not
Save the occasional glimmer of a shadow
Through the pools of conciousness

He tells me to get up when I am sleeping,
He commands me to go on when I am tired,
He makes me change things that have always worked,
He forces me to take risks when I am comfortable

The reflection of light reveals him not
Yet appear he does
In my every look
In my every glance

He sings of battles to be won
And dreams of goals to be achieved
He looks for rules to be broken
And asks for things to be improved

Crushed him I have
With all my might
Yet appear he does
Come shutters of day

My strength fades
With each passing conflict
My wounds increase
Yet he stops not

This is my cry from the depths unknown
On the battlefield unseen
For soon he will come
And I will be no more
