Will you love only me?

I am but a fool, to love and not be loved.

Like a huge wave from out in the pacific,

Slowly gathering, slowly rising to from small white stars at the rocks

My love is slowly growing, slowly building – only to crash

Into the rocks as I hear you say you loved another.

I gave my whole self to you and all I ask was for you to love me back.

Yes, you say you do. Yes, you admit that you love me …

But not fully.

Alas, my heart is broken and yet I cannot speak

For fear you might walk away and go to the other

My heart is broken but I cannot cry,

For you will think me soft and walk away forever.

I really am sad and burn up inside when you try to hide from me

Parties with friends or just a casual outing –

Soon links will form and you will love yet another.

I know in loving you I should let you loose,

I know in loving you I should let you choose

But it hurt so much, it leaves a scar

I only hope that you would tell, one day

(I only hope not too far away)

That you love me – and only me.

Do you love me? Will you love me forever?

Will you give your love to me and me alone?

I wonder …

A man can only pray,

A man can only hope,

A man can only wait … forever?

Why must life be so cruel?

The times I spent thinking of you
Have been spent in vain
The times I spent admiring you
Far from under the rain

You know I feel for you
You know, my love, it’s true
But every time I look at you
A deaf ear you turn to what I say
- If I’m treated like this
How can I show my love?
You cause but pain to me
When you fly away, flying like a dove
Tell me – Why must life,
Yes, life be so cruel.

After the first work, I practically stopped writing for a couple of years. This was the first of a series of work I started writing when I was studying in Australia Perth. As you can see this was a time when I was truely love sick and well ... she didnt care for me as much as I would have liked.

Wishing for you always

In my mind there’s a whisper
Wishing a wish to come true
In my heart there’s a prayer
Praying and wishing for you

In my dreams I hear you calling
Awaken to find it not true
In the dark tears start falling
Sitting silently thinking of you

I’ll climb the highest mountain
I’ll even set sail the seas
To reach the paradise I’m looking for
Paradise is you loving me

In the end I wish to tell you
That deep down from my heart
That my love for you is none but true
Since I met you from the start

I wrote this when I was in my teens and over the years have tried to rewrite the 3rd and 4th paragraphs. Even back then I found it rather corny. This however was the original version that I wrote and the first two paragraphs remain till this day one of my favourite works.
