I wanted to move away from you
Forget this silliness of a crush
But then you show that gentle smile
And with a single “hi”
I go back to you like a boomerang

You and I were meant to meet each other
But just in passing
Just a glimpse
Not even to really get to know one another.
I know your name
But you might never know mine.
I’ll be that familiar face you’ve seen from somewhere
But that’s all I will ever be.
You and I were destined to meet each other
But not meant to be together.

It’s just me, I know
Creating scenarios in my head
Making up stories as if you ever notice me
I’m assuming, and I know that
But a girl can always dream.
I just thought I noticed something different
Some glances here and there
Or simply passing by where I can see you
Or maybe so you can see me?
But as the song goes, it’s just my imagination
Still, I gladly welcome my day dreams of you no matter how silly it is.

It’s a little early, I know
But letters do travel a little slow
And I wanted to make sure you received this on time
So I’m also trying to make this interesting by doing a rhyme.
I appreciate you giving gifts to kids all over the world
And doing it all in one night is quite bold
But for this year, could you please include
Not just the young but also the old.
Not toys, necessarily
As they only bring joy momentarily.
If you could please hug those whose hearts have been broken
Those who thought no opportunity for them would be open.
Hug the one’s who lost someone
To help remove the frown
And save the milk and the cookie
To those who are in poverty.
Spread your ‘Ho, Ho, Ho’ and merriment
To those who has lost hope, be their testament.
Thank you, Santa for helping out
I know you’re going to do great, without a doubt.

Love has never been warm to me
Its icy cold breath has always been breathing down on me.
Others boast of warm fresh breeze
But I’ve only been able to feel its chills.
Love has given sunshine, smiles, and rainbows to others
But it has only given me a cold shoulder.
Maybe I offended it before.
Maybe it wanted me to do more.
Maybe I could try and break the ice.
Maybe I haven’t been too nice.
Maybe I’m really just afraid
For love to be warm to me.

I found a letter addressed to me
I read it slowly and carefully
It said,
“Hey beautiful! Remember you are beautiful…
In every single way
No matter what you feel each day.
Do not let the scale’s number or the clothing size define you.
You are wonderful and beautiful despite what some other people might say…
Despite what you might say to yourself.
You’re not perfect but you are unique so stop trying to fit in.
Be you
Be bold yet simple
Be delicate but strong
Be your awesome you!
There will be people who will put you down.
Society will try to change you to fit the norm.
But remember, you are loved and should learn to love yourself.
Most of all, remember that I love you.”
The letter ended and it was signed by me.

I fell in love with you but you didn’t
So that was an opportunity we both lost.
You fell in love with someone,
I got hurt and bruised.
Eventually I moved on and so did you,
But you broke that person’s heart because you found someone new.
Soon after your new love moved on without you
And we lost touch,
I didn’t dare ask how you have been doing
For fear you might think I’m still hoping for so much.
Our paths once crossed but it seems it will never again
You and I, we try to avoid each other it seems.
Our story ends here
Or it may be a to be continued when we’re different people in a different life.

A smile so natural, you don’t know what it does to me.
Hoping someday you’ll see
That you and I could become “we”
Or “us”
That would be a plus!
There’s nothing else to discuss.
I hope to me, you’d be interested
Because with myself, I am infuriated
As I can’t keep straight the things I’ve stated
I am much too infatuated
with you.

I see you pass by and often it’s not accidental,
I purposely wait until you come along and yes, it’s not coincidental.
But I’m not the only one crushing on you,
Others go out of their way for you too.
You’re well admired for your character and charm,
And that smile! Oh, makes me feel warm.
So as you go on with your routine,
I wait for you to swing by while I sip some caffeine.
He was just a phase.
Much like the moon with its different phases
He came and stayed on my sky for a bit
Enough to inspire
Enough for me to want and fall in love with.
And like the moon
He disappeared one day
And slowly too did my desire for him.
He was just a phase
A lesson I had to learn the hard way
But a lesson learned, nonetheless.
