(AI) The Man That You Are
When I first look into your eyes
I saw the world smiled at me
When I first held your hand
I felt the world danced with me
When my kiss first landed on your cheek
I knew I was in love
Those were the days
Though we were really young
I told myself I’ll be happy
Those were the days
When I was really young
I knew you were there standing
At the corner when I turned
But the world has changed you and me
Now when I see into your eyes
I see a million folded frowns
When I held your hand
Our skins were cold
When I last kissed you
I broke free from our chains of insecurities
Though we no longer stand side by side
I will be your shadow
Though there is no sun
You know I am there
I am your friend
Though you never realized that
Right from the start
But I am here for you
Like your shadow I will be
So please say you always will
Remember the man that you are
Stinging words do take them
Twist them till they become your armour
Stand on strong not because you need to
But because strong you indeed are
Be a man
Be that man I once fell for
And challenge Life
Earn your keep
Though we no longer come hand in hand
I will be there with you
Though we no longer dance together
I will be your partner in crime
I taught you how to move on
I taught you the rhythm of life
I taught you how to dance on the words
Now it’s up to you
Go and live Life like it challenged you to
Live
Though I’m no longer with you
Just live and smile
In time you’ll learn to laugh again
Live
Remember the man that you are
*Ryan, here’s for you. Thank you for the sweet times shared. You will learn to laugh again one day, as I have learnt myself. Thank you for your sweet wishes for me. And I’m sorry for hurting you. Please remember, you are only weak when you tell yourself so. Believe in yourself. That will help you in life. Be strong…because you are.

This is a perfect reminder of Love and Life
There is a sadness in life that can begin or end in pain
There is a happiness in life that can begin or end in love
These words, these scenes are an attribute for the world… they can represent every scenario… but they represent this Love perfectly… I feel your love and loss and I commend you for sharing your soul
Thank you, dear Enreal. I have no regrets. It is done so true happiness within may be achieved…for both of us and all

huhuhu soo sad… you really write this poem by urself??? soo nice you knowww…. why? you broke up with him???
Yes, all the poems here are written by yours truly, my dear - unless stated otherwise. Thank you. It was a hard decision for me but I have to let go. For now. If our destinies are written in the stars then our paths will cross again.
It’s a matter of “I’m happy but are you? You’re happy but am I?” and “I want to be sure of this before I end up cheating on you and we’ll be sore losers”.
