FIRST LOVE by Vincent Paul Gonzales

It was late Sunday night when we said good-bye
I knew right then that my heart would cry...
You felt so cold, and it hurt me so...
I loved you so much, that I let you go...
A love so true, it felt so sweet...
For a year of my life, you swept me off my feet...
I tried everyday, to remind you of my love...
For I knew you were precious and sent from up above...
I held you every moment... I held you tight...
Praying you would always love me every day, and every night
But time went on, as it tends to do...
And with times passing, I fell even deeper for you...
Your love grew tiresome... it tore me apart...
And you broke every promise, when you broke my heart...
I couldn’t stop crying, it hurt me so much...
For I longed every moment to feel your gentle touch...
I gaze into your eyes, to see only gray...
there was no need for words... I knew what you had to say...
I held on to you, in the depths of my heart...
Regardless of how it tore me apart...
My love still remains, through the betrayal you’ve done...
Messing with my best friend, and having your fun...
I stood by your side, though you didn’t want me...
and I loved you so endlessly...
I still love you, but time’s mended my heart...
But never shall your memory part...
And you will always have a special place within my heart...
You will always be the first, who touched me so deep...
And in my heart, will I always keep...
memories of you and me...
together for eternity...
You taught me how to love and, darling...
You will always be my first love.

ALL I CAN'T SAY by B.K. + A.G.

There are so many words I cannot say,
when I look into your eyes.
I want to be able to tell you one day,
but I'm left speechless every time that I try.
You must have stumbled across the key,
and discovered so much more.
You found a hidden place in me,
you found my heart and opened the door.
And I cried in pain
of losing my dear friend.
Will it ever be the same again?
If it passes will it be the end?
I realized it was worth so much,
as I lie in bed that night.
So I allowed my soul to be touched,
without even putting up a fight.
Are my eyes deceiving me,
when I see you standing there?
Are you playing games,
just to prove I care?
You speak my name in a prelude,
in a reference to love,
with such loving attitude,
as if it were a message from above.
With the palms of your hands
pressed firmly against mine,
a white doves lands,
and the sun begins to shine.
Someday I will see,
though that day has not come yet.
You'll say you love me,
but will you ever forget?
If that happens and my spirit dies,
if my emotions drop,
will you want to hold me when I cry?
Or will the love just suddenly stop?
We can't expect to fall in love and never cry.
You'll stay and play your part,
but after the beauty starts to die,
will your footprints still be on my heart?
Though it would be hard to say goodbye,
your friend I'll always be,
as long as we always try,
to keep the friendship between you and me.
The letter I will not send
will casually inquire,
how could you have brought it to an end?
I was your one desire.
After this life is over,
you'll be one person I know I'll miss.
It'll be too late to start over, and so I leave you with this...
I'll hold you for a lifetime,
if you'll just hold my hand.
We could have a wonderful time,
in the days we have not yet planned.

All Because of You by Kate Reneigh Woodruff

I awake each day with a smile

And greet it with a laugh;
The world is a treasure to me
Because of you.

Every time I think of something sad,
I replace the thought- with you!
My mind is instantly changed
And my heart is filled with gladness.

Every breath I take is meant for you,
I live this life surrounded in joy
And I bathe in the promise of your love,
My soul belongs to you.

Each time I see something beautiful
I want to take it and bring it to you;
My life has so much meaning now
All because of you.

A Heart Of Stone by Beckie M.

Once I had a heart of stone
For it had surley lost its home
It could not love or wanted too
But in my life, then came you. 

The stones began to fall away
As happiness began to fill my day
A feeling so sweet and special too
Could this be love, I pray is true.

My heart now sings a song of love
For I know that it was  sent from above
My heart is warm, there is no cold
Hard no more, but with wings of gold.

It soars above the sky so high
Sometimes I think of why and cry
My heart now sings a loving song
For the part of me I thought was gone.

The gift that you have given me
Is so important, can't you see
No more sadness or being alone
For now my heart returns to home.

A Dream within a Dream by Edgar Allen Poe

A Dream within a Dream
by Edgar Allen Poe

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet, if Hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it, therefore, the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
