“Love’s Mirage”

I see you, and I see an angel,
You are such my guardian angel.
Always look towards me,
That I get distracted,
Because your eyes
Are like cascades,
Expressing,
water falling from the sky,
Of a message.
But the most wonderful part,
Of see you,
Is when you look at me back,
And I feel,
Like being elevated by angels.
You’re
The most spectacular thing,
That crossed,
In my way.
All the people that is
Surrounding you,
Is like venerating
A god’s most perfect creature.
You are like,
The light,
On my dark way,
The parter,
In the most needed times,
The shadow,
Of my happiness,
And the glory,
Of my life.
The sun rises,
To see your beautiful face,
Illuminated,
The moon is elevated,
By the sound of your slow breath,
And you exist,
To make all the things work.
Because,
You are,
The climax of my life,
The person that,
Makes me feel the best.
But at the final,
You weren’t all,
You were,
Just a lonely dream,
But,
A wonderful one,
That,
I will never forget.
“Catch Me”

Soaring through the air,
it's time to come down.
I never knew
that the sky was so blue.
Soaring through the air,
I finally open my eyes.
I'm falling now.
Oh, what a surprise!
Through the clouds,
falling past the setting sun.
You need to catch me, before I'm gone!
Catch me!
Give me all you've got!
Catch me!
Do you love me or not?
Catch me!
Can't you find me?
Zipping through the air?
Catch me!
The air is rushing my hair.
Catch me!
Do you really care?
You gotta catch me.
I opened up my eyes.
I'm falling, what a surprise!
Will you be there?
Do you even care?
Soaring through the air,
just me, all alone...
I'm wondering,
if you love me so.
Soaring through the air,
I finally see land.
I see you,
and you see me grin.
In your arms, safe and sound.
I'm just glad,
to be touching the ground!
Catch me!
The stars are bright.
Catch me!
It'll be alright.
Catch me!
I need you to hug me,
when I fall down.
Catch me!
My heart is true!
Catch me!
I really believe in you!
Catch me!
I opened up my eyes...
Catch me!
I'm falling, what a surprise...
Soaring through the air,
soaring through the blue,
do you know whom I need?
I need you!
You gotta catch me!
Author Comments: This is actually a song, not a story, but I feel it should be submitted. When I write songs, I let the words come to me. This one is probably my favorite that I've written, so I hope you enjoy it!

You are always there for me.
You are always there for me, yeah.
We are friends and you,
never leave me.
'Find a star and hold on tight,' that's what you'd tell me when I'm alone at night!
Don't leave!
I can never let you go!
I said, don't leave!
I need you so!
Who will take care of me?
I will find a star and hold on tight.
Can you hold me at night?
I need you to stay!
Don't leave!
I can never let you go!
I said, don't leave!
I need you so!
I need a friend who will take
care of me.
You are my best friend!
Author Comments: This is another really special song that I've written. It was the very first song I've ever written...ever!
