  This is a book about love….but what is love necessarily? I constantly sit here and wonder exactly what it is. For I thought I loved before, but was it really that? Maybe, just maybe I was caught up in my emotions. Trying to wish something into existence which was never meant to be…. Or maybe, I could have been infatuated with a certain feature or characteristic that someone possessed… You know… they were attractive or they told that one joke that made me laugh the entire night. Or perhaps they had riches which I wanted to obtain… Who knows!?

  The only thing I do know is that I believe that I have loved... And that is what is important. I will now take you through a journey of words and random thoughts. All about love, or maybe not even about love at all. This is a collection which I hope you enjoy. After all, love is like a rollercoaster or so they say. So sit back and enjoy the ride and welcome to Keyword: Love.

  Roses

  Roses are red.

  Violets are blue.

  I blush ever so slightly

  When I look at you

  Just like the sun

  You brighten my day

  You make me want for no more

  For the rest of my days

  Dear Heart

  Dear Heart

  I’m sorry for all that you have been through

  And I’m also sorry for what may come in the future

  But trust me

  One day

  Someone will come and repair your wounds and make you see that you are special

  It’s just going to take some patience

  Your time is coming

  Be strong 

  Sometimes I look at all the happy couples surrounding me and I get so sad. But I know that one day, I will have that too. I have to keep pushing. I have to be patient. I truly believe it will happen. –Monica

  Love Run Free

  Kiss me ever so softly

  Play with my hair

  Your presence means a lot to me

  I need it like I need air

  Hold my hand even tighter

  Don’t ever let me go

  As our souls become intertwined

  I can feel our love grow

  Hold me closer to you

  So tightly that I can barely breathe

  Feel my heart beat faster

  As you are standing next to me

  Stay with me forever

  You are all I need

  I love you today and will love you tomorrow

  Let our love run free

  Sweet Love

  Sweeter than a honeydew

  Oh how I dream of you

  Gently caress me and hold me tight

  Never let go with all your might

  Kiss me as I pull away

  Make me realize I want to stay

  Oh how I am in love with you

  I can picture it all

  Just me and you….

  You hand me the world on a silver plate

  You offer more

  But I won’t take

  You care about me

  More than I care about myself

  You give me so much love

  Until you have none left

  Forever you will be by my side

  The love you have for me I can’t deny

  Sweeter than a honeydew

  Oh how my dreams have really come true

  Just Kinda

  Kinda like a melody

  That plays over and over in my head

  The sound of the sweet music

  Could even reawaken the dead

  It’s kinda like the sugar

  That is in your favorite fruit

  It dances on your tongue a while

  Until you finally swallow that juice

  It’s kinda just like that

  Well that’s what my mother said

  That feeling that just can’t go away

  The feeling that you will try to get

  Over and over again

  A feeling you want so much

  And quite frankly so do I

  But what is this feeling exactly

  It’s just kinda how I feel inside

  Happiness Is You

  Crystal clear skies

  No clouds to dampen my day

  The sun shall radiate down

  And a smile will be on my face

  To know you is to love you

  And love you is what I did

  And forever the sun will always shine

  Because I will always have you near

  Sometimes someone can make you so happy. Just being around them is all you need. This might be love and it might not be love….but what I do know is that it is something special indeed. – Monica

  These Feelings

  It’s when my heart starts to beat fast

  And when eternity lasts forever

  When I realize my true love for you

  And how I hide it so clever

  From the top of a mountain

  I’ll confess my feelings

  Because only I can hear

  At the bottom of the sea

  I’ll write your name in sand

  Because only I can see

  It’s when my heart starts to beat fast

  And when time moves on so slow

  That I think to myself, just maybe

  I really don’t like you so

  Was it your smile that caught my eye?

  Or the quality of your heart?

  Or maybe it was I, who fooled myself from the start

  The Words to Say

  How do I find the words to say

  To let you know how I feel each day

  When you are near I feel complete

  When you are away I cannot sleep

  How do I find the words to say

  To let you know I don’t want you to go away

  To let you know how fast my heart beats

  Whenever we share an embrace and our two lips meet

  How do I find the words to say

  I can’t say I love you cause that is cliché

  But the thoughts float in my mind all the time

  And in my heart you are already mines

  How do I find the words to say

  For I don’t know how to say it any other way

  I know that I’m happy when I am with you

  And in my heart I know you feel the same way too

  The Journey of The Heart

  The heart has a way of finding itself

  No matter the trials it goes through

  At one point it can be bursting with li
fe

  And at another point it is broken in two

  The Journey of a heart is a sad one indeed

  For it always has the possibility to get hurt

  But usually the journey of a heart goes very far

  Till it meets another heart and those two become one

  And then that journey seems like it was worth it

  It seems like those tears meant something indeed

  For the rough road the heart took sometimes countless times

  It ended in the greatest place it could be

  To be loved is such a wonderful thing

  That so many take for granted these days

  Nothing ever comes easy in life

  And love is one of those things

  And sometimes when you waited for something

  For as long as you can think

  When you finally get what you are looking for

  You will appreciate it above all things

  At times, we place ourselves into situations knowing that there is a possibility to get hurt….but you KNOW; sometimes you just have to follow your heart despite the path it makes you take. every story in your life will not have a happy ending…but one story will….

  To You

  It has been months since I have seen your face

  And I have told myself I would let go

  But every time my mind wanders

  You become the topic of all things I wish to know

  I told myself I would forget you

  And let you live your life

  But it seems that I let go prematurely

  And I didn’t even put up a fight

  I think about all the times I was afraid

  To tell you how I felt

  I turned away when emotions came near

  I refused to tell you how I felt

  And now I find my mind wandering

  And I pretend that I don’t know why

  But I believe it is because of the feelings

  I so desperately kept inside

  It has been months since I have seen your face

  And I have told myself I would let go

  But every time my mind wanders

  You become the topic of all things I wish to know

  I hope you are very happy

  I hope you are living a great life

  I love you so much!!!

  I just want you to be happy!

  Even if I am not by your side

  If you really loved someone, you would want them to be happy. if you really loved someone, you would let them go if you knew that it meant they would be happy in the long run. Sometimes we want to be with someone so bad that we forget about their happiness and only think of our own…but if we are doing this does it mean that we love them???... or are we just selfish?

  My Heart Beats

  My heart

  My heart beats for you

  Pounding with roaring intensity

  Almost to the point where I have to try to catch my breath

  Because my heart

  Is beating

  For you

  My lungs don’t know what to do

  I breathe in and out

  Out and in

  And still I can’t

  I can’t catch my breathe

  Overwhelmed by these emotions

  I care but I say I don’t

  I want you to leave but also stay

  I am lost

  Sometimes the happiest feeling in life is seeing those around you succeed…

  Lost in you

  Circulating these different feelings that I have

  Making my body move

  Giving me life

  I want you to go out there and be better than I ever was

  I may not know you but I want you to know that I care

  Even if you think no one else does

  I want you to stay with me in my thoughts but move forward in this world

  I want you to conquer your dreams

  I want you to pursue happiness

  For my heart

  It beats for you

  And I really wish you the best

  just because you never met someone doesn’t mean that you cannot feel for them. there is so much heartache in the world that you have to feel for others. there are so many who are lost and see no hope for their tomorrow…. sometimes I wish that I could motivate them so they could have the courage to push on.

  If I Had a Million Wishes

  If I had a million wishes

  And all of them would come true

  I would take all of my wishes

  And wish for things for you

  If I had a million wishes

  And I could hold your hand

  I would wish you could feel my love

  And know that it is really there

  When you want someone to never want for anything more… when you want someone to be truly and completely happy… when you want someone to know that they mean so much to you that you can’t even put it in words…. maybe that is when you finally kind of love someone….

  You Light Up My Life

  Just like a star

  On the darkest night

  You reach out your hand to me

  And within my realm of darkness

  You hear my heartfelt plea

  I am consumed with fears

  And one of these fears is being alone

  So you wrap me in your warm embrace

  To show that I always have a home

  The light which shines within you

  Is such a beautiful thing

  Thanks for being my guide

  Throughout my darkest days

  Without Words

  No words

  Just actions

  That is all that I need

  The way you interact with me

  Tells me so many things

  The look in your eyes

  That glimmer of hope

  I see it so often

  You want so much more

  The way that you embrace me

  You show me that you care

  And if I were ever taken away

  It would seem like you are losing your air

  The way your mouth opens

  When you are about to smile

  The way that you giggle

  The way you put your hands up and smile

  The way you stand there and look

  That stance that you have

  I know how you are feeling

  You didn’t even have to tell

  I love the way we interact

  The way we interact without words

  A form of language that is foreign to others

  And also misunderstood

  When you finally know someone…. You know… like really know someone… you can tell exactly how they feel without even saying a word. That person can walk in the door and you automatically know by their gestures what type of mood they are in… I love when you know this about someone… Like I know them like the back of my hand…

  You

  Comfort me with the words

  That are flowing from your lips

  Tell me your deepest thoughts

  And reveal to me your secrets

  If looks could kill

  We would just die in each other’s arms

  I can tell you love me so

  And you have missed me for far too long

  Squeeze me in your deepest embrace

  Whisper once more in my ear

  I finally see what I have been missing

  And I can’t deny that this is real

  Beneath the Willow Tree

  Sometimes my mind wanders

  And then I begin to cry

  And my mind is consumed with thoughts

  And I end up asking why

  My heart starts to beat faster

  And then my breath seems to go slow

  My palms get sweaty

  And then I walk out the door

  I look at all the trees

  I fe
el the cool air on my skin

  But I cannot escape one thing

  That is the wrath deep within

  My skin starts to get hot

  My stomach begins to cramp

  I am doing so much thinking

  That I feel like I am killing myself

  I look forward and see everything

  Yet I cannot take everything in

  Something is happening within my mind

  And I keep reliving a moment again and again

  I love you…..

  I think to myself

  But I know it doesn’t matter

  I always stuck by your side

  No matter what happened

  But what is love when you feel so bad

  What is a feeling that isn’t returned?

  I work myself up for disappointment

  Yet I always return

  I would say you have me hooked on you

  But I haven’t a clue

  I know I care about you

  But do I care about myself too?

  The air seems so calm outside

  And I sit under the tree

  I feel something wet on my face

  Something I thought came from the tree

  But how can this be?

  It is sunny outside

  Rain can’t come today

  But the weeping willow is crying

  And I think it is crying for me

  If Love Was Meant For Me

  If love was meant for me

  I wouldn’t be sitting here alone

  I would have someone to cuddle with

  Or talk to on the phone

  If love was meant for me

  I would have someone who actually cares

  Shows he loves me everyday
