IF LOVE IS

IF LOVE IS

If love is what you're looking for, if love is your game,

If love is what you strive for, then baby call my name.

If love is the story that has to be told,

If love is the treasure, then baby you don't need any gold.

If love is the fuel that powers your soul,

 To find someone to share your love surely is your goal.

If love is the food that feeds your mind,

Then someone that will make you think is what you need to find.

If love is what you breathe in with the air,

Then you need to show someone that you truly care.

If love is what pumps blood through your heart,

Then if your love goes, your heart will fail to start.

If love is the ground you walk on every day,

When you're walking on love, you can never walk away.

If love is the drug that makes you high,

Then baby sprout your wings and fly to the sky.

If love is the dessert that you want for the rest of your life,

Then devour your pleasures and see the light.

If love is the drink that quenches your thirst,

Then drink from the fountain of love ‘till you burst.

If love is the wind that sets your sails,

Then open up your love and take on the gales.

If love is the light that gets you through the night,

Then keep your eyes open because there’s about to be a sunrise in sight.

If love is what you dream of when you are asleep,

Then find a love that will wake you and have a dream you can keep.

If love is the music that makes you want to dance,

Then move with the rhythm and give love a chance.

If love is what takes you away when things start to look grim,

Then you need to let yourself go when things are getting dim.

If love is what controls you, yet still sets you free,

Then baby give in to love and come to me.

I'M SORRY

I'M SORRY

I'm sorry, I'm only human and there are stupid things that we say.

I really don't want to hurt you in any kind of way.

I'm sorry I didn't comfort you when you were in need.

It's just that sometimes you are really hard to read.

I'm sorry but you had rules and I though rules were rules.

I didn't know there were exceptions we could use as tools.

I'm sorry for all the bad things that happened to you over the years.

I wish I could have been there to kiss away all your tears.

I'm sorry that I ever made you feel like you were in second place.

I really want you to understand that's just not the case.

I'm sorry I didn't make you feel like you were the one.

I never wanted to make you feel like you had to run.

I'm sorry my touch didn't make you feel just right.

That when you're with me you just can't see the light.

I'm sorry that being with me makes you want to fight.

That now, you don't even want me in your sight.

I'm sorry that my life isn't what you want it to be.

You know for now, I'm not exactly free.

I'm sorry that I make you so sad and blue.

I know you don't believe that I've always been true.

I'm sorry that seeing me caused confusion on what you need to do.

I'm just afraid that if I'm not there, you'll start seeing someone new.

I'm sorry baby; I know my kiss is not at the top of your list.

I just want my kiss to be something you can't resist.

I'm sorry that things are so complicated for us to have some time.

I want to make your life right so all things will rhyme.

I'm sorry you don't feel that we can still go out.

And for all the things I've done that made you want to shout.

I'm sorry that life has been so unkind.

That in your life justice has been so blind.

I'm sorry that you thought we should be through.

I know I shouldn't have waited so long to say . . . I LOVE YOU.
