Uncertain

If I knew then
what I know now
what would I change
if I could?
I wonder what
I wonder how
Would my life be different?
Different...
I wonder
I wonder
Why
The past is gone.
The days go by.
Is this what life will be?
Wish I could see,
I don't know why.
What life has planned for me.

Wonder Wander

Wandering down a lonely road
Wondering where to go
Should I choose a different path
or is it too late
How can I really know

I'm wandering down a foggy road
I never know where to turn
I can't see what's ahead
which path to take
I'm wondering where to go

Could It Be Love

Could it be love
That's got a hold of me
Could it be love
That's makin me week in the knees
I know it's not a simple thing
That we're tryin to do
I know it's not a simple phrase
To say that I love you
Could it be
You and me
You want to give it a try
I can see
You and me
Are both a little shy
But maybe
Maybe
It could be love

Is It True

How can we know this love is really true?
How long can we just hope and pray
to feel like it used to?
Should we start again?
Would it make it better then?
Or is this the beginning of the end?
Are those fireworks or a fire
burning with one desire?
Clinging to a past we know
just so we won't be alone?
How can we know that love is really true?

Breathe In

Hear the rain
Breathe in slow
Let it out
Let it all go

Let fall the things
that weigh you down
Let it melt into the sound
Just breathe in
Feel the rain
Wash away
all your pain

Let it out
Let it all go
You don't have to know
Just let it be
and you will see
Some things are meant to be

Just breathe in
and let it go

How Can We Be

Can we ever be?
Just the two of us
you and me.
Together and happy,
just the two of us.

If I were free
to follow my heart,
what would there be
to keep us apart?

A boy, a girl.
A woman, a man.
If you take my heart
I'll give you my hand.

How can it be?
Can you see,
you and me
forever?

How is it I can feel at home
but ache inside and still feel alone?
We cannot be
oh can't you see,
Am I lost forever?

If you could turn back time
would you?
If you could change the past
what would it change?

Would you avoid your past mistakes
or just make them different ways?
Are your faults a part of you no matter what?

And when blessings come from something bad
was it really something good?
How can we ever really know?

We have to learn from our mistakes,
some things we cannot change,
but we can leave our faults there in the past.

Let Me Sing For You

Another 40's inspired song  :)

I want to sing for you,
in all the ways a woman can.
Would you let me sing for you,
and say that you're my man?

I'll sing with my voice,
if you like the sound.
I'll sing with my heart,
whenever you're around.
Darling please,
won't you let me,
sing for you?

Determined

(I originally wrote this about 10 years ago I think, but it's still relevant and I figured probably worth sharing.)

Don't tell me I'm worthless
Don't tell me to just give up

I will not settle for just mediocre
I will not let you control my life
Don't tell me I can't
I know I will make it
I'll do whatever I can
So I don't end up like you

You can't deny your own unhappiness
You can't see the life that you just missed
Now I'm more determined
I am more aware
And I can see that you don't care

So whether or not you help me out
I am leaving, without a doubt
I won't look back
I won't give up
And I'm gonna make it now
Somehow

I know I'm not worthless
And I will never give up

Discontent Dreamer


Should I dare to dream?
For dreaming just brings disappointment,
and makes life so hard to bear.
Why does dreaming bring such sadness,
when it should bring such joy?

A hope, a wish, a change.
Freedom.
An impossibility,
except only after the worst,
could it happen.
But then is it really for the better?

I know it can never be,
but my heart does not like to listen.

My tears fall slowly.
I remain the same.

These are a few of my favorite things


Rain drops on roses
and whiskers on kittens
chocolate
the TARDIS
and warm woollen mittens

Captain Tight Pants
David Tennant
John Barrowman

These are a few of my favorite things!

Netflix marathon
with sweet red wine
and maybe a brownie or two!

The 5 year old is outside
The young one is sleeping
and now I don't feel so bad!!!!




Ha ha ha I am clearly bored today. Oh well  :)
