You Make Me Feel Alive

If you feel any of what I feel
If you knew how this was so real
If you could see my heart inside
You'd know you make me feel alive...

If you could be me there today
With your lips stopping anything I'd say
If you could feel just what I felt
You'd know that you make my heart melt...

If you could be me for a day
On this side of what it is we share
If you could see how bright you shine
You'd know you make me feel alive...

If you could feel the strength in your kiss
If you could know how you bring me bliss
If you could feel my heart beat and strive
Well then you'd know you make me feel alive...

If I could kiss you the way you kiss me
Well you'd know what it's like to be
This little girl you bring out inside
And baby you'd know you make me feel alive...

Take My Time

I want to sit with you for just a moment,

Look into your eyes, take the feeling and own it,

I want to know everything there is to know,

I want to read the story those eyes hold.

I want to hold your hand just for a while,

And feel your warmth and watch you smile,

I want to lay my head on your chest,

I want to start out there, we'll figure out the rest...

Say these things were possible,

With freedom to feel, no obstacles...

Then this is what I would want to do,

Just take my time and really know you...

Happy To Feel

I don't want to cross the line
And crash this party with feelings of mine
And bring out the things I hold inside

But how else do I continue to write these lines...

How many times can I tell you you're beautiful?
That your eyes pierce mine and see my soul?

That when you walk away I feel an empty hole?

That when you smile at me I'd done; I'm sold?

I don't want to complicate things

With wanting to be every song you sing

With wanting to show you what I think of you

I don't want to give away what I'd love to do...

How do I write poetry without using the heart in me?

How do I stifle this brewing potion?

To give up on the impossible notion,

It makes me feel like it's worth it all,

I'd rather say it out loud, nothing stops the fall...

Because I know this won't be what I can see

But that doesn't mean a girl can't dream

That doesn't mean I can't imagine it all

Why not let it out, it's nothing major but it's nothing small...

I know that I won't lose you just because I feel

I'm human, I am sensitive, and I say what's real

So know that all the stars in the skies

Could not compare to the light in your eyes

Know that all the love in the world,

All that could be between a boy and a girl

Is what I want you and I to have

But know that I don't dwell, I don't feel sad...

Because when I see that smile I melt,

Inside my heart, I hold what's felt

Somehow I never completely knew what you meant to me,

Somehow I kept it down until recently

And now that I acknowledge these feelings I'm free

So know that you make me nothing short of happy.

No Other Man

No other man could keep me up all night

Just high on the hope that we just might

Have a chance to see and touch

I want you, oh I do, so much...

No other man could keep me laying awake

Wishing for the man whose presence makes me shake

Who makes me feel so alive, and so free

I want you to continue to do what you do to me...

No other man could stop me in my tracks

Could keep me wanting to hope for more than that

More than that which we already are

You are the sun and the moon to my stars...

No other man can make my heart stop

Or make my heart beat like it's ready to pop

This feeling, oh this feeling, you give me these chills

You give me so much, not knowing the space it fills...

No other man can get me like this...

No other man can bring me THIS happiness...

No other man can bring out this smile...

And my heart, no other man is worth it's while...

My Morning

Last night I was way too tired to write anything good
So I figured I'd get up early today just so I could...
But the dog needed walking, that was the first order of business,
Until I came upstairs and walked right into Malcolm's mess...
The cat knocked over a big, potted plant
All over the carpet the dirt and leaves went...
So I walked Sunny and fed her and Malcolm too,
Then I stepped in a pile of what must have been Malcolm's puke...
So I hope this makes you smile because it's all I could really do
Just laugh about my morning but let you know i'm thinking of you...
;)

Realize

You caught me by surprise

There's some things I realize

Just never felt so good

Well now I know they should

You caught me so off guard

Somehow captured my heart

I could get lost in those eyes

And not even realize

I'm falling slowly, falling faster

It's normal to run when from potential disaster

But that's not what you are to me

I realize all that we are to be

I never knew such strong desire

I take a look into those eyes and I get higher

It took you to make me realize

There's nothing wrong with a good surprise

You took me back to being a girl

A girl who wants everything from the world

But more than anything she wants that boy

That makes her feel like she owns the world...

It took you to make me realize

That life is better looking into anothers eyes...

Words

'Ravishing' is an exquisite word for an exceptional man like you.

'Heavenly' is another word that comes to mind; it's true...

You are something more than good,

You make me feel on top of the world,

You are something better than the best,

There is no one, there is no contest...

'Tranquil' is a great word for what I could call the place you take me to.

'Empyrean' is exactly what my heart feels when I look at you...

You are the best kind of destiny,

Doesn't matter that we weren't meant to be,

But finding myself thinking of you,

Somedays it's all I want to do...

You And I

Do you think

That you and I

Were meant to walk

Into one anothers lives...

Do you think

That you and I

Had reason to meet

And reason to collide...

I like to think

That you and I

We are something

Worth giving a try...

So here we are

Yes, you and I

And I'm so glad

You're in my life...

I Don't Know

I don't know when I'll see you again but I look forward to it everyday. Can't wait to see that smile and those bright eyes, there are so many things I long to say. I don't know when I'll feel those lips pressed hard against my own, but when I see you it's what I have to do, the days without it are far too long. I don't know when I'll hold you again but everytime I do it's so hard to let go. Can't wait to feel your warmth on my skin, to know that you are more than a dream, while holding onto feelings I cannot let grow.

I don't know how this all began, but it's a part of me and I could not stand... To have to let it go, to try to go back to slow... I don't know how this all will end but I know that it will always make me smile... When I think of you and the things that we'd do, just to feel like a child, you do it to me everytime... Leave butterflies inside, I could not give that up if I tried...

I don't know if I'm wrong for feeling everything I feel. But the most important of all these things is that happiness is now very real. And I cherish you for giving me that. Somehow you brought me back, and I want to feel that again... Over and over again... I don't know where this began, but I'll go back to that place a million times, just to look right into those eyes and dare you bring these feelings to life... You have no idea how amazing it is, being on the recieving end of your light...

The days could fade into months and years, and somehow I'll always wish that you were here. I know by then you'll be a memory, but you'll always be so special to me... And I don't know how you got to me, the way you did, but you truly did and I do not have a single regret... You are an experience I never thought I'd get... It's as if the thought of it didn't even exist- until there was you.

The Man In My Dreams

I woke up this morning knowing I had dreamt of you
I knew it because I had a feeling that was new
Every morning I wake up thinking of you

But this was different,

As if I was surprised to find myself in my bed with you in it...

I woke up this morning knowing you were the man in my dreams

It felt as if you were right there next to me

And when I woke and I felt a bit cold

I wished that you were there to hold

But even still, it felt so good

It felt relieving knowing you could

Still be the man that I find in my dreams

You don't know what you mean to me...

I woke up this morning knowing I had dreamt of you

I felt a million little tingles and a bit shaken up too

It was as if you had just left my bed

Or as if next to yours I had just laid down my head

And I hope tomorrow morning feels just the same...

When You Look At Me

I feel so warm when you look at me

The way only you can look at me

I get the feeling you can see through me

And I'm not bothered by that, I welcome it in fact...

I feel so beautiful when you look at me

The way only you can look at me

I get the feeling you see all the good in me

And I'm open to that, I am happy with that...

I feel so womanly when you look at me

I feel passionate and I feel free

I feel this fire that burns, fueled by your eyes

The more and more you look at me

I start to realize...

That I feel my very best when you look at me

The way only you can look at me

I feel on top of the world, I feel at peace

And that's more than I could ask to feel,

Nothing has ever felt so real...

You Could

You could tear my heart apart with just one pull

You could change me forever, I know that you will...
You could give me a feeling that no one else could even try

You could change me and leave me healing for the rest of my life...

I don't know if you know what it is that you've done
I'm sure you did it without knowing, but you are the one...
The one who has made me fall from any stand I had
To hold me up against the world with the upper hand...

I don't want to call you "baby" it just feels so overused
I don't want to tell you "maybe", there is no saying no to you...
I don't want this to feel cheapened by anything outside
You are the best, my favorite place where I love to run and hide...

You could change me,

You could chain me by my heart,

You have done that from the start...

You could change me,

And I will be what we have to be,

With a guy like you could you blame me...? 

Reach Into Me

I wake in the morning and you are on my mind
Every night I lay down to sleep and feel fine
Just knowing the next day that you'll be there
With a feeling like this, I'm not going anywhere...

It's like something I can count on
Without counting my own life out
And you give me something to grow from
With you there is no question, no doubt...

Reach into me, like only you can
You make me feel like a kid again
Reach into me, like you know my life
Everything about you somehow feels right...

I feel free when I am with you and these moments are our own
I feel good when I think about you, I get into the zone
You have something that just lingers, on my hands, in my heart
Something I have never known and that is just the start...

The words to describe a man like you
Are words I do not know
And if I could show you what you've shown me
I'd pay you back tenfold...

Reach into me and pull out life and light like you have done
To know a man as special as you feels like I may have won...
And whether or not I deserve this all, I gladly do accept
Because these feelings you've given me are ones that will be kept...

Close Your Eyes

Want to make you close your eyes, just close your eyes,

So you can see me now... As the queen I may seem

The everything I want to be, before I fall right down...

I'm losing sight of why I returned, why I am here

Why I came back to be everything to everyone

But clearly there is nothing here for me...

Want to make you close your eyes, but still see the sun,

So you can see me as being the only one,

So you can see me one last time as better than all,

So you can see me rise and shine right before I fall...

I'm ready to move, I'm ready to run,

Aside from you it's everyone

That makes me want to run and hide away

That makes me want to wake up in a different place...

If it weren't for you, I'd be long gone.

I wish they knew, wish they could hear this song,

Long before it ever even existed to be sung,

Want to run wild with you before my time is done...

So moving on, I want the world,

I want to be better than the average girl...

Want to be the love and air you breathe,

But I don't think anyone sees that in me...

Want to make you close your eyes and feel,

Do not open them, what you FEEL is real...

Want to make you close your eyes,

Nothing is better than feeling you inside...

I want to show you all of my love,

I want you to see what could be won,

If you and I could give it a go for real,

Imagine the love, the passion we'd feel...

So for now I want to make you close your eyes,

And feel and hear all that is inside...

Forever I want you to know,

That my heart is with you whether I stay or go...

Afternoon Glow

There was nothing about you that didn't blow my mind
From head to toe, the way you kissed me, the way you glowed
You have no idea the price I'd pay to have that again and again...

Your eyes, they are like the deepest sea and I feel when you look into me
That there is nothing I can do, I am so enthralled with you...

Your skin, so shiny, slippery, sweet
Your touch, your look, your whole physique...
There is so much I yearn to do, baby you can make it all come true...

I went to Heaven and back in one afternoon

I hope I see that place again real soon
Because you have left a fire in me
A desire, down to the wire, the best I've seen...

Nothing does compare to you
No one holds a candle to you
You have no idea just what you possess
Nothing short of perfect- no more, no less...

Real

Baby, spin me around like you do in all my dreams. Make life seem so colorful, so perfect, so serene. Baby make me hunger for your kiss and touch again... Nothing in this world is the same since I found you, since "we" began...

Yes you make me crazy, make life magic, make fantasy real. Yes you touch the deepest parts that I never thought I'd feel. Baby, make me feel so good just like you always do... Inside of me, there is a place that I save just for you... You have no idea what you do.

Baby, all you have to do is say my name and I can't help but fall. I never thought I'd fall again, but this is hardly like falling at all... I cannot and I will not say just what it is I feel, for now I have to accept fate and just remind myself it's real... With any chance I'll heal... Never tell you what I feel...

Baby, whether I heal or feel or learn how to deal... Nothing in this life so far has ever been so real...

I

Don't know where I'm going but I know just where I've been

Everyone on the outside says I have a bright future but I don't know where to begin...

I can't help but think that I'm leading a solo life, that maybe it wasn't simply a lonely start

But the optimism in me says it's alright, and I hold onto nothing but love in my heart...

Not sure what comes next on my path just yet but something tells me that I am enough

And this life should be led with no regret and I am all I need to be, especially tough...

I am not someone who simply lies down to quit

But I cannot be that woman that gives all and doesn't get

But I do know I am someone who is worth your very best

So give me all you have to give and I'll give you the rest...

Everything inside of me it screams to just let go

But there is more to life than this

Much better to find and I do know

That I am the one in control right now, I am the one to blame

If all I do is sit back in jest and win but do not claim...

If Anything

If there is anything you think I wouldn't give
Well think again
I'd give anything and everything
To make you more than a friend.
If there is anything you think I wouldn't change
Then change your mind
Because you'll see I'm willing to do
Much more than you thought you'd find.
I know I think beyond the lines of what
Is possible for you
But baby you are worth the dreams
Even if they can't come true...
So here I am, giving you my all
And regrets I will never have
You are worth the time, the heart
Well worth the air I breathe...

So if there's anything you think I wouldn't give
Honey, think again
I'd give my all, my rise, my fall
To be your everything...

Times

In times when I don't see you
There's a void inside my soul
An aching throughout my body
A temptation put on hold...
In times when I am lonely
I just think about your company
I imagine you here with me
And that's something I can hold...
I keep our memories close to me
For fulfillment until the next time
That I am in your presence
That your body presses mine...
In times when I need sanctity
I creep into my mind
And there I find a lingering touch
I feel until next time...
In times when I just miss you
I remember it won't be long
Before I'm next to you again
I always bring that hope along...

Setting Sun

Every time your lips touch mine, you blow my mind, you are so fine
Every time you pass by, my eyes light up, can't hide my smile
Everything about you turns me on, I cannot say no to you, I am just your pawn
And no that doesn't bother me, there's nowhere else I'd rather be
Than in your arms or next to you, smiling at the thought of you
My heart jumps at the sight of you, you do something to me
Something new and something good, the kind of thing a real man should
You give me dreams to see at night, you give me hope, you give me light
You lighten my heart and brighten my days
You're special in the most unique ways
You are better to see than the setting sun
Better to me than anyone
Lord knows I would love to give you all
And make sure that you'd never fall...

Every time your lips touch mine, I can feel the warmth of the setting sun
And I know that it is something true, something that could only come from you...

Every Time Our Eyes Meet

Every time my eyes meet yours

I find there is much more in store

Than I had thought, than I could fathom

You are much more than I could imagine...

In your presence, every breath I take

Is taken knowing there's more at stake

Than just my body, and my mind

You give more than I thought I'd find...

In something that started as a desire

Something I thought would never aspire

To be much more than you could give

To be this life I love to live...

Every time our eyes meet

I see sunset, I feel complete

Every time my eyes meet yours

I am taken places I've never been before...

In your presence, I find a light

And it never ceases to ignite

A flame that I have never known

A feeling that has continually grown...

Something here just feels so right

I think of you last every night

Right before I fall into dreams

And first in the morning when the light streams

Into my room where I miss you

And wish that you could be there, too

Into my life where I hold you

In high regard and in all I do...

Every time my eyes meet yours

I find there is much more in store

Than first glance gave me reason to believe

As if somehow you were meant for me...

A Simple Thanks

The richness you bring to my life

The laughs, the smiles, your sacrifice

I appreciate what it is that you do

Sometimes it seems like a dream come true

Although it never will be set in stone

I accept that, I truly know

That what it is you do to me

Makes life seem a little more complete

The time you give, the time we share

From my heart and mind will go nowhere

Except to a place where I hold you dear

There is no regret, there is no fear

Somehow you feel safe to me

I admire your thoughtfulness and honesty

I treasure the secrets that you and I share

I'm grateful to have a place for my soul to bare

The things I feel others might not quite grasp

You understand me and I hope that lasts

Because you have given life to me

When I most felt it was hard to breathe

A simple 'thanks' may not be enough

For the smiles you bring, no one else can touch

The depths to which you have surpassed

And the freedom you've given my heart at last

I never thought something so far

Could bring my world back from apart

So this is my simple thanks to you

For being the only one who knows me true

If You Knew

If you knew how I felt,
I wonder if you'd run...
Or would you see this through
until the day that it's done?
If you knew how I felt,
would you still smile like that?
If you knew how I felt
would you take a step back?

If you knew how I felt
How you make my heart melt
How you make my knees weak
How I'm nervous to speak...
If you knew how I felt
When your hand touches mine
When you say my name
When we cross the line...

If you knew how I felt,
I wonder what you'd say
If I ever let it slip
Would you fall away?

No matter how it ends
No matter how it goes
I hope you know how I feel
I hope somehow it shows...

Somewhere

Somewhere between you and me
I feel a rhythm, feel a beat
I feel you deep inside of me
When I look into your eyes

Somewhere between here and sea
I'd find a place for us to be
I'd watch the world go by with you
As we lay tangled in the tide

Somewhere between your heart and mine
I feel there is something undefined
I feel somehow we are intertwined
And it makes me feel alright

Somewhere between right and wrong
I hear your name in every song
The ones singing about passion, about love
But when I look at you I try to listen
Only with my eyes...
Keeps me further from demise
Yet closer to you still...

Somewhere between then and now
I feel a change, I don't know how
I feel the spark become a flame
And fall for you again and again...

Never Want To Say Goodbye

Never want to look at the clock because it ticks away

And then it's on to waiting for another day

To see that look in your eyes, that smile on your face

I swear seeing that takes me to another place

Never want to say goodbye, or see you walk away

Because it means I'll miss you 'til another day

Waiting to smell your skin, and kiss your lips

And wanting to feel your hands on my hips

Never want to say goodnight, it's like turning a page and waiting to fight

Fight to sleep and sleep to dream, wondering if you're dreaming of me

Thinking of you as the minutes pass by and roll into hours until daylight

But that 'good morning' is the sweetest surprise I always know is coming...
