    I think I know why he walked away We didn’t grow apart Our eyes were precisely aligned Our future was quite on time We didn’t talk ourselves out of anything We spoke loads about tomorrow But we didn’t forget about today He always whispered sweet nothings into my ears And never wanted me to change…

      I watch the sunset rise And sleep in eyes I yawn and start my day I wait around for my favourite sounds And then allow the scent to lead the way There’s nothing like breakfast Like a meal to set you off Nothing like having someone Who prepares it with so much love It’s leg…

    I was supposed to see the pretty things in life Joy abundant like waterfalls overflowing in my days I was supposed to be able to say “I love you” in more than 23 ways I had plans for this moment Like dreams I made real I knew what I was supposed to do Exactly how…

    Nobody should determine whether you are strong enough to stand or fall That is your choice If I could teleport right now, I would go to where I need be I would navigate to that area I would pinpoint that street I would stand before those doors and walk in very proud I would forget…
