Take A Chance On Love?

Ours was not a love-at-first-sight
It all happened just by chance
We were two people who had lost
All we had in the world of romance

We needed a friend to depend on
And there we were, for each other
We decided we'd pull through easier
If we move forward together

We shared all we had then, and more
And tried to ease the other's pain
A feeling of caring and deep understanding
From this sharing, was what we gained

We emerged from this experience
Stronger and as one
Never realizing along the line
How our lives completely changed

Since then, the story continued
And things moved just so fast
Before we knew what struck us
We were bound in something meant to last

All this while we have been together
Through all the life’s experiences
We have had our ups and downs
But mostly life has been a story-to-tell

As we shall narrate to generations that come
Though it had its share of thorns
Our life together has been a bed of roses
And I am so glad; we took a chance on love

Even If You Didn't Ask...

You are lucky that you refrained
I wish you never have to feel the pain
That I had to bear
Because every tear
And every lash that bled
Still made me feel glad
That it was for you

We may not stay together forever
But the memories won’t be battered
Of all the times we have spent
Those sights those sounds those scents
I could never stop for sure
But now I can't even ask for more
Since you have made it clear
That we don't belong together

Life will move forward for sure
But for lost love there is no cure
Though I even know that you care
But you are too afraid to share
'Cause you are not sure you can give
Only thing that remains unsaid
Is how shattered feelings never repair
And I wish I could show you somehow
How your broken image looks now
But it probably doesn't matter any more

Its just that I get a feeling
I would rather be receiving
I was never dealt fair cards
(If I'd known)
I'd never have let down my guards
I wish I could protect myself
Its not easy to let go of
What you know should be yours
But if you want it, it shall be
You have that power over me
I'd still do what makes you happy

If ever you were in my place
In love ever so disgraced
It would hurt me more to see
In the state that you would be
So I'd forever be there
To lend a shoulder and to share
I won't even utter a sound
Just quietly hang around
Even if you don't want me just yet

From a distance...

I feel sad that you feel so down

I wish I could do something to bring you around

I wish you would share your worries with me

And I wish the bond would forever there be

For we have not bargained for happy times only

We said we would never let each other be lonely

I wish I were someone who was so much of you a part

That I'd know every feeling that rose in your heart

But for now I have to settle being someone who cares

A silent spectator whojust stands by and stares

But it does not mean that your pain I do not share

I wish you would know, for you, forever I'd be there
