1. A moment from a laugh When a laugh becomes a moment a moment becomes a feeling the feeling you want to feel again and again so you laugh some more as your heart never tires of living that moment time and time again from the laugh you start to like more than ever before over time the feeling you have turns to love & the love felt is undoubtedly something to hold on to forever.

3. When I look When I look back I see the sea where I fell in love When I look forward I see the countryside we explored When I look into my own mind I see every moment that I loved you When I see your eyes my heart sets sail across the sea (falling in love) When you stand next to me the countryside is our world to discover (exploring our hearts and minds) When my mind captures your beauty I am in deep awe and admiration (because I love you).

4. Never Sorry Never be sorry for liking someone who makes you tick never sick of the sight of someone who makes the heart erratic and manic no need to panic when [that] someone is near as the fear will set in and something silly will be said Sorry for liking you however one doesn't give much of a fuck as I never will apologies for liking your face it must show that I have some sort of good taste if I like what my heart desires is all about you creating a fire within me wanting you to put it out so new life can grow from the embers left behind Sorry it’s not you it’s me that feels the way that I do but I don’t know what to do a couple of sherberts and the heart is thrown to you but you can’t catch for shit so you let it drop to the floor feeling all sore in the morning I shriek to think what the sherbert made it me say (via the heart of one's belief of course) If I ever say I am sorry for liking you I’m afraid to say it one big fucking lie as you fly away in life and in love I just hope you learn to catch as my poor battered heart still is tender and aches as it beats every day knowing the clock ticks & you make me tick never sick of the sight of you I will always fight for you.

5. The Crash of the Waves The crash of the waves movings sand & stones the power of the waves simply undeniable sounds of the sea so loud it catches the mind moving earth & sea uncovering beauty [Fossils.] unseen for years the sea tossing tussling the stones uncontrollably when storms or seas batter the shore the time after silence falls silence is great but the sound of the sea makes me feel alive & I strive to be by the sea with each roar of every wave a moments silence before the wave crashes to the earth moving everything in its way uncovering a little bit more each and every time walking away [unwillingly] the sea continues to crash but it becomes more silent as I leave the seas sound behind yet I know the sea continues to roar & my heart is never far away wanting more and more to be by the sea the crash of the waves the ebb and the flow of life love and feelings all by the sea.

7. The fallen snow filled hills & fields Setting out that day I planned to walk the snow covered hills penning my thoughts as I walked (However you called out & my day was with you) At the end of day looking up I saw the fallen snow filled hill & fields which I still hadn’t walked I needed to fill my mind of thoughts to write with sights of snow & the day with you The sun was setting still with a warm flask (& a packet of soup) I walked hard fast to the summit the temperature started to plummet By the time I reached the top the sun had set & I knelt in the snow drinking my lukewarm soup with the winter wind picking up I shivered and quivered as I looked out at the lights below the fallen snow filled hills & fields seemed calm and very still A day with you was the warmth I needed to be up here & thankful for the day Time had passed & the bus wouldn’t wait I descended back to earth to rest the weary legs ready for another day.

8. the depth of the eye In the depth of the eye the past can be seen how deep you go is up to you It’s in the eye the story the love you just need to look a little bit deeper The blue of the eye like the depth of the sea there is so much to say so much to see like the depth of the sea Drawn to the eye like a moth to a flame yet without the pain take in the colour & look into my eye to see what you mean to my heart and I When I and my eye catch a glimpse of you the love and the story Are complete and true All for the eye as I love you.

9. Standing by the sea Standing by the sea I stood seeing the sea for miles I saw something of beauty The wind blew gently sending a shiver down the spine but every shiver was worth being here seeing the seas beauty [& of course seeing you] The sea saved my soul that day & every day after that Saving a sinking mind A soul that was all out at sea Standing by the sea with a shiver it saved me reminding me to savour all I have.

10. Don’t let the hearts memories fade Don’t let the hearts memories fade the moments the heart rushed with blood skipping higher than any mountain peak The moment you and I met eye to eye a heart pounded with a rush it instantly became addictive wanting more and more Those times engraved on the memory even after years from the event once that day is thought of they still bring a simper smile to the face Whether the mind just forgets or the mind starts to unfortunately fade the hearts memories must be remembered for as long as they can be That rush of blood spiked with adrenalin was love at first sight when mind and heart just knew that you were someone to never forget yet that may be out of the bodies control For you the memories may have all gone no need to remember what you and I once shared with our hearts lay bare then now the world differs greatly and the years have just gone by I remember memories now that you never would (or at least I don’t think you would) but I will never know as our paths have walked in different ways Don't let the hearts memories fade for as long as they are alive in the heart it keeps the heart going whether memories of now, or then.

11. I still see your eyes I looked into your eyes & told you that I love you I still see your eyes & still do love you It’ll never be anything new that I love you but you may never love me as I love you You have my heart gripped by your beauty real beauty that I do truly love I looked into your eyes & told you that I love you I still see your eyes & still do love you I look and see your eyes the ones I spoke to telling you I love you for you are beauty that I look to & still do love you.

12. Like a limpet The rain fell hard and consistently all day long but it could never wash away the thoughts of you like a limpet clinging to a rock I would not let go Through the cold rain I knew that my thoughts would prevail like the winds on the shore blowing more and more rain towards the shore nature was testing my strength but my strength was equal to that of nature Puddles became ponds and streams become rivers the flow of the water gaining height and pace it was the strength and power of the love I have for you The earth became loose and fell away as water seeped deeper into the ground my fingers lost grip but but feet stood firm on uncertain ground digging deeper I had to find the strength to never let go (& that included you) There was no let up in the rain that day as the skies were heavy which made the thoughts press harder and the strength I needed drain away I had to be like the limpet in order for the thoughts of you not to be washed away When the rain finally eased and the sun started to shine bright in the sky it was like the rain had never fallen from above to the ground where I stood like a dream it was now a memory to which made me stronger I had survived the pounding rain and at the end of it all the thoughts of you were still with me and hadn’t ebbed away through everything that was thrown at me I kept you close to my heart and mind.

13. The voices may have gone The voices aren’t there anymore when you go back to a place a place once full of joy it’s just not the same No one else remembers the wonders that place brought to the heart yet here I stand remembering every moment every word that was said every promise I once told myself I still hear the voices as clear as day like they were yesterday in a place that let my heart grow a place that let my heart be me The voices may have gone however the memories live on maybe never knowing where those voices have ended up or if we will ever speak again A voice in a place that only I hear when stood reminiscing makes the mind wonder if more opportunities should have been taken The voices may have gone but I remember.
