....Jika....

Jika kau tetap dapat menegakkan kepala
Ketika semua milikmu lenyap dan orang mencelamu
Jika kau tetap dapat mempercayai dirimu sendiri
Ketika semua orang mencelamu
Jika kau sedang menanti dan tidak menjadi lelah karenanya
Atau membohongi kehidupan, jangan melakukan kebohongan
Atau hidup dalam kebencian, jangan membenci
Jangan berlaku terlalu baik ataupun berbicara terlalu bijak
Jika kau memiliki cita-cita dan tidak diperbudak olehnya
Jika kau dapat berfikir dan itu bukan merupakan tujuan hidupmu
Jika kau diperhadapkan pada keberhasilan dan kegagalan
Namun tetap dapat menguasai diri
Jika kau tetap dapat berpijak pada kebenaran yang kau yakini
Serta menjadikannya perangkap bagi sibodoh
Atau menatap kehidupanmu¦.hancur
Lalu membungkuk dan membangunnya kembali dengan peralatan bekas
Jika semua keberhasilan yang telah kau raih selama ini harus kau pertaruhkan
Dan ketika gagal, kau memulainya lagi dari awal
Dengan tanpa mengeluh sepatah katapun karenanya
Jika kau mampu menguasai hati, keberanian serta nadimu
guna mendukung tindakanmu setelah semuanya musnah
Dan tetap dapat bertahan meskipun kau tidak memiliki apapun
Kecuali semangat membara yang memaksa, bertahanlah...
Jika kau sedang berbicara dengan banyak orang dan tetap dapat memperlihatkan jati dirimu
Atau berjalan bersama para raja dan tidak lupa diri
Jika lawan dan karib tidak mampu menyakitimu
Jika rekan kerjamu bekerja tidak dengan sepenuh hati
Jika kau dapat mengganti menit yang terhilang
Senilai enam puluh detik jarak lari
Milikmu adalah bumi dengan segala isinya
Dan lebih dari semuanya itu,
Kau akan menjadi laki-laki..anakku.

=Satisfied=

When you make love to me everything seems right,
you seem to take my hand and guide me through the night
You reach to take my fears and throw them to the past,
You penetrate my soul in hopes to make it last.

And you standing with me, never shall I be afraid
My inner core you've touched, my sanity you've saved.
But if you feel you can't be strong in all my times of need
You've given me a strength, somehow I'll take the lead.

Never understanding, accepting what time may give
We'll learn and grow together
Cherishing each moment that we live.

...........When Love Begins...........

I always knew that love would come find me someday
but never did I know that it would be you who was headed my way
you caught me off guard and took me by surprise
but you simply captivated me, the same way you do when I look into your eyes

It's true that every good and perfect gift is from above
you were presented to me as a beautifully packaged gift full of humor, talent, intelligence, beauty and love
"it isn't finding the perfect person but learning to see an imperfect person perfectly"
we all have our flaws but when I view you through my eyes, perfection is all I see

From when you laugh to when you're upset, I still love the little things you do
especially hearing you laugh and seeing your nose wrinkle the same way mine does too
coming into this relationship has been hard at times but we've made it through
I know as long as we're on this journey together, there's nothing that we can't do.

Sometimes I wonder if what we have is too good to be true
too scared to get my heart broken and scared of the thought of losing you
but in the end, I trust in the author and perfecter of what I believe
because what we ask for in Him, we in return shall receive

"Where your treasure is, your heart will be also" is how the saying goes
I may not know what tomorrow may bring, for God is the only one who knows
the one thing I do know is that you are my one and only
a treasure in my heart that I want to devote my whole life to completely

I know I don't need to prove my feelings to know they're true
because what I've known in my past, doesn't come close to the experience I've shared with you
I've had the experience of being in relationships before
however, this is the first time I've been truly happy... I couldn't ask for anything more
it's an honor to know that I am yours, as you are mine
and I trust God that He'll bring us together in His beautiful time

For now, I'll be waiting patiently for that day when we'll be together
that precious moment in time when I'll say, "it's you that I want to be with forever"
God made everything beautiful, precious and new
just as beautiful and precious as the day will be, when I look into your eyes and say, "I Love You"

*Falling in Love*

Falling in love may one of the greatest feelings ever. There is an actual chemical process that happens to a person who is falling in love. All of the senses have a greater intensity. Colors seem brighter, sounds more resonant and smells more powerful when you are in love. When you are with your lover there is no greater feeling in the world, and when you're not you spend all your time thinking of each other. Falling in love is truly an awesome feeling.

....Feeling For You.....

Sometimes I wonder how I feel about you,
Scared of these feelings because it’s still new
I catch myself thinking of the best way to share,
Hoping you’ll return my confession showing you care
And then I catch myself again… and drag my thoughts back to reality
I am back at square one, does this just happen to me?

Poems are so stupid I swear I would never do this
But this is YOU, and you aren’t like anyone I have met
How much longer do I have to write, can I tell you yet?
When I come back from my thoughts I feel more secure
But then I sleep… and the dreams of you occur

The dreams I have of you are so vivid and clear
I feel TRUE happiness inside and that there is nothing to fear
People say dreams have underlying meanings and not to ignore them
I say we both know what they mean and now I want you to hear
Hear what I am about to say to you, feel it with my body, see it in my face
Hear it in my words and tone when we converse

I love you! I love you more than I ever thought I could
Be with me always and be loved like you should
