Starlit Shores

As the breeze hits, my heart starts to unwind.
My worries fade like footprints in the sand, left behind.
I stretch my arms to the sky, feel the breeze, and my heart starts to fly.
I sit on my balcony, feeling calm and clear.
The world outside is wild, but in here, I'm free.

Oh, I yearn for starry nights and the beach's gentle shore,
A place where lights and sounds can't find me anymore.
In the silence, I find my peace, my heart beats slow.

My friends told me stories of their Valentine,
Their passion and joy ignited a fire in mine.
I always thought I was good on my own, just fine,
But the truth is, I’ve been standing on the sideline,
Wondering if my love will forever shine,
If I'll find someone who sees me for all I am, sometime.
A heart that beats with mine, perfectly in rhyme.

I imagine hands to hold, and a love to share,
A partner to gaze at the stars and show we care.
The beach's soft shore, a place to stroll and roam—
Together, we'll chase the waves and make our own home.

In my dreams, I see your smile so bright,
With you by my side, everything feels just right.
Together, we'll cherish this love-filled night.

A flowing dress, soft as the night skies,
Stars softly sparkling in dark eyes.
Hair flowing like a rich, dark stream,
My red lips parted, in a gentle, loving sigh,
Feeling his eyes on me, as the night sky drifts by.

He stands beside me, with a gentle, loving gaze,
His dark hair messy, from the ocean's playful ways.
His eyes, like the night sky, deep and mysterious too,
His smile, a soft whisper, that only I can do.
With a sparkle of mischief, and a hint of sweetness too.
He's got a love that's pure and true,
And with him, I know what it means to be loved by someone who loves me too.

Shivers down my spine, melting into you—
Knew in that instant, my heart belonged to you.
Everything faded away,
Just us, in that moment, every single day.
Forever in your arms is where I long to be,
Lost in your eyes, where I am truly free.

With your love, my heart finds its song.
In your embrace, I know I belong.

A Secret Between Us

As professor sings lullabies for you,
You lean on my shoulder, sleepyhead, what am I to do?
You're dreaming of grades, and academic fame,
But for now, just sleep, and I'll hold the blame!

As the professor’s voice flows like a river’s stream,
Your left hand catches each word like a soft dream,
My right hand traces the thoughts in a gentle gleam.
We sit on the last bench, side by side in our space,
Our other hands holding each other, a secret between us,
In the stillness of the classroom, your touch speaks loud,
A silent promise of love, a quiet vow without a sound.

I remember the nights I hesitated to hit send,
Wondering if you’d made it home safe.
I typed, “Did you reach home safely?”
And “Text me when you get back,”
Only to delete it, too nervous to send.
But then you texted me the same message,
“Text me when you get back home.”
Your words mirrored mine,
Giving me hope and a sign,
That our feelings were on the same page.
You never named what we have,
But I can still feel your love,
By your touch, stare, and care,
And in the feelings that we share.

And I asked you to give a chance to a girl hitting on you,
But you looked at me and said, “I’d rather give us a shot.”
Your words hit differently, it was clear to see
That you're feeling this too, and it's meant to be.
And it left me thinking about where we could go from here
And I am trying to make sense of it all, and calm my deepest fear.

We both loved the same dream, and it was tough to pursue,
We were brave enough to work hard and make it through.
Through the struggles and mess, we faced it as one,
Helping each other heal, till the tough times were done.
Finding comfort and strength, till the doubts were gone.
In the middle of all that chaos, we found something real,
A love that was the best deal,
As our hearts forever seal.

Miles & Memories

Oh, how I yearn for holidays!
To pack clothes and go somewhere far away
But, honey, you're in L.A.
Frequent calls and texts, you say
Despite different time zones, together we stay
But you haven't called or replied all day
I miss you so much today
I know you work hard to earn that hay
Let's keep our worries at bay
I'll travel miles for you, no more distance, no more delay
Thinking about the times with you all the way
All the memories I wish I could replay
On the terrace, side by side,
Where we'd always lay,
Talking for hours, star gazing until night turned to day.
I want to be in your arms, where everything is okay

I still remember how we were inseparable in first grade,
Spending our evenings painting beneath the tree's shade.
Fighting with paper blades in the open glades,
Writing on each other's slates,
Sharing meals and treats from our lunch plates,
All the memories we made,
And the bracelets and Pokémon cards we used to trade.
They will never fade.

My days without you were gray,
I wandered around, feeling lost and astray.
For all the sacrifices, time, and efforts we pay,
To the Lord, we pray,
For our togetherness and joy now shine like a radiant ray.

The tiny screen was where I always saw you; now I search for your face,
Standing here in this moment, hoping to find you in this place.
Anxiously waiting for you at the airport gateway,
Amid the bustling crowd, you stood there bright with a display,
“Welcome home,” with a joy so intense that words alone could never convey.
You held a warm, heartfelt bunch of red roses, a beautiful bouquet,
A gesture that took my breath away.

Each step toward you quickened my heart’s fray,
I ran to you, our souls in sway,
“I missed you so much,” you whispered, with emotions too profound to portray.
“Me too,” I replied, with tears that softly play.
The airport’s noise seemed to allay,
In your embrace, I found a place where doubts decay.
As we walked hand in hand through the airport’s array,
We strolled to our favorite café.
The wait was worth it, each sacrifice and effort never betrayed.
With you, all our moments felt perfect that day.
