My Life Isn't The Same

My life isn't the same
and it's hard to explain
I can't go a day without saying your name
When cupid shot his arrow he had a good aim.
It's so hard to maintain
Dealing with this alone is a strain.
All these feelings I am trying to hide
Their is no use for me to keep these feelings inside
Only thing I can do is let you know
I want to give you my heart gift wrap with a bow
You have this affect on me from head to toe.
I might sound crazy
What you do to me is outstanding
At night I toss and turn
The desire my body yearn
Hoping one day your love I will earn
I need your friendliness
I'm waiting for that extraordinary kiss
I kind of figure our night together would end like
this
You have a grip on me
When you look into my eyes it'll be easy to see
My life isn't the same
Even on cloudy days I don't care if it rains
You have that Vibe
To put it any other way will still be
hard to describe.

Our Country Day

Feeling the sun rays as it beams
Getting loss in our day dreams
Walking hand and hand through the country grass
I'm feeling love today whatever you want it can be a simple task
I'm willing to do, with me you don't have to ask
Let's find a spot to lay our blanket on to have a picnic
With a nice view should do the trick
The mood have to be romantic
Some where we can see the dawning of the sun
The moment has yet begun
To see the light glistening, on the water
We are hoping time doesn't get any shorter
The food is laid out, so nicely spread
To a magic moment is where we are headed
I look at the sun and it's slowly going down
The only thing we hear is the cricket sound
We ease so close to each other, right next to the flash light
We are holding each other in the dark night.
It's a little chilly
I feel your body heat next to me
We both know that we can't stay, for one we can't see
I love you so much and I wouldn't mind spending another
night with you out in the country.
