mind vs. the heart My heart keeps longing for youAnd I wonder if your feelings are trueWisdom tells me to turn awayBut I can't deny I want you to stayThings have never worked out in the pastI've never been able to fix it or make it lastPeople talk and complications ariseFor me, the sad endings are never a surpriseI've always been a hopeless romanticThat's why when you're near, my heart is franticBut my mind has learned the lessonAnd it's built this big wall for my protectionThe question now is, the mind or the heart?One side knows it hurts to be apartThe other one says I need to be strongBecause I won't be able to heal again if my
escapade Into the great unknownJust you and me aloneBags packed, maps outGoing to see what the world's aboutNot perfectly prepared,Can't say I'm not scaredPeople won't understand,But you'll be holding my handDon't have an exact destinationThis is a spontaneous vacationMy hometown I truly do adoreBut out there I know there's so much moreDifferent cultures, gorgeous sculpturesBusy places and wide-open spacesTrying new things, just living our dreamsWe're leaving all we know and just letting go
doubts If I tripped, would you catch me?Or let me fallWould you carry me?Or make me crawlIf I cried, would you wipe my tears?Or let them wet my faceWould you save me from my fears?Or leave me in a terrifying placeI'm so scared of opening up again,They've hurt me in the pastDon't want to lose another friend,I want this one to lastPlease just tell me you'll stayTell me what you say is trueBecause every day I prayThat the right person is you
the last minute of autumn The wind blows fiercely against my stiff backTo and fro, my thin skin crinkles as I swayHolding on to rough bark with just my fingertipsI'm the only one left, all eyes are on meThey have all drifted down to the cold floor But I refuse to let myself get carried away just yetI've been a luscious bright green,A copper yellow, a blood redAnd a muddy brownThis is my final stageI have one last chance to say goodbyeOnly a few more seconds leftBut not yet,As the wind gets calmerI know I can still hold on a little bit longer
blind no more I'll admit; all that time I was a foolTo think that I was more than a toolSince you left and wanted outI've realized what you're all aboutThe cheap lines and fake smilesYour lies could go on and on for milesBut I'm not damaged by your twisted ways'Cause they'll catch up to you in future daysYesterday I criedBecause in you I did confideToday I feel numbAlways thought you'd be the oneBut I don't want your sorrySo you don't have to worryBecause I promise that tomorrowI'll be over you and have no sorrow
haiku: dreaming out loud Keep dreaming out loudFollow your heart and believeWishes can come true
