Taking a Closer Look.

like tha pain of past regrets.
never knowin’ what might have been - how can i forget.
in search of that loved one.
my love, my hun.
where could she be?
i need her here, right beside me.
as tha world turns.
and fire burns.
birds that fly.
and babies who cry.
i feel mixed with emotions.
wish there was a love potion.
to love - not like a sister and a brother.
but tha love that i would give her and no other.
so desperate i turn to cupid.
but he’s no help - how can i have been so stupid?
my lady.
my heart feels shady.
i need u.
i’ll bleed for u.
now i turn to God for a sign.
i want him to make u once again  mine.
tha need to feel greedy and not share.
i want u for myself - but how could i dare?
tha way it ended.
our hearts cannot be mended.
yet everyone deserves a second chance.
let me see of u but a lil’ glance.
just to ask u out, and hear u say yes.
and try out different moves like in a game of chess.
on me tha light turned dim.
but let me be who i once was, let me be him?
to hold and cuddle tha one for whom i care.
i be your sweet DOMINICAN teddy bear.
let me know where i stand.
so we could make footprints in tha sand.
walk to a place set aside for me and u.
now i can say, “tough times don’t last, but tough people do.”
to make it this far.
forever we really are.
i give thanks to God and u once again.
for u chose me amongst all these men.
give me your hand.
as i place tha weddin’ band.
now it’s official.
as i close my eyes and kiss u.
