For sometimes silence can cause you such turmoil
For in silence, you can hear each thought that throbs in your mind
Again, I find myself picking up a cigarette
Just to try and clear everything up
Only to succeed in making myself suffer from a migraine
Why must the heart always contradict what our brain says?
That even the definite lines of good and bad begin to blur?
How does one take hold of one's life
When there are too many people concerned?
Without stepping on anybody's toes.. including yours?
How can you command respect when you find your own self
Questioning the very things you would preach?
Sometimes I am blessed to drown myself in a crowd
As if I really am lost.. but the thing is.. I'm not.
But why is it sometimes, I feel that I am?
If you were given a chance, just one chance
To know the warmth of a lover's embrace..
To feel his touch lingerly caress your face..
To allow him to run his fingers through your hair..
To let his lips touch your awaiting mouth in sweet kiss..
Would you allow it?
Even if it meant knowing it for just a moment?
Looking back on all that has happened,
I have realized I have easily learned how to forgive
Yet somehow, the memories remained..
Mind you, these are not bitter visions of what could've been
But sweet tender scenes of what once was..
And it made me smile..
So to those who hear love knocking softly upon your door
I encourage you to open it and let its power overwhelm you
For even if it last for merely a split second in your lifetime
It'll mean all the difference to the person you will choose to be
I know.. I've been there.
