1. ‘Telephone’ I look at my phone like every other clone it’s like there's no dial tone to pick up and have a moan or a natter to another clone Eyes down we’re quite prone to have our minds blown to whatever is thrown across our screen Why not postpone your date with the phone before we lie down next to our gravestone take off your headphones and let’s talk until we tickle our funny bones laughing out loud let’s enjoy this time alone Let me chaperone your mind away from our own worlds before I kiss the skin upon your cheekbone as I reach the dropzone my heart falls in love I don’t need no growth hormone as the love I have for you can’t grow much more or do I need a megaphone to tell you loud and clear? Something that is set in stone & never to be washed away in the tidal zone is love that has become something more than the dog and bone all by putting our phone down and not being another clone.

2. ‘I need to walk off this love I have for you’ I need to walk off this love I have for you as I can’t (fucking) stop thinking of you Get your heart out of my mind because I've fallen & I'm not stalling my love no more I wanna be all in for life with my eye by yours Whether I walk, run or try to hide I can't stop thinking of you beside myself I feel the same as my heart as my heart wants everything like for like and hand in hand I need to walk off this love I have for you but the further I walk the stronger the love is with every step making the heart beat stronger faster for you like something I have never known At the end of the day when I stop I realise I cannot get your heart out of my head It’s obvious to why I can’t I’m not in denial but the truth be told it’s because I love you always have and always will Therefore you will always be in my head the best thought that one could ever have.

3. ‘Side by side’ Side by side they loved each other watching the waves crash upon the shore a chill in the wind helps them be closer They need not speak as they knew how each felt like the sea next to the shore they just belonged together With her head tilted and resting upon his shoulder a gentle hand across her back calmed the heart as they couldn't bear being apart from one another Side by side they loved each other with this moment memories are created & they shall cherish them for evermore as the sea laps the shore over and over again Daylight was fading with the clouds gathering above the chill had now turned to shivers One final glance into each other's eyes one more kiss by the sea shore side by side they left together forevermore.

4. ‘Her eyes look down’ Her eyes look down as I walk around the corner with my eyes glimpsing at hers Words become lost yet mutters a little something With the look in her eyes it’s like she’s wanting to shout something out more than it would seem Just shy? I wouldn’t believe when confidence is her through and through Softly spoken her few words calming a soul and a heart she walks off once more with more words wanting to be said it just doesn't seem like the time to speak of them.

5. ‘That moment you see someone’ That moment you see someone That one moment your world feels complete It is how I feel when I see you Not once in awhile but every single time That moment the heart dances even if the lymbs lack rhythm it is for that moment a time when the heart feels complete That moment you see someone defines the way you are what you feel within your heart & mind That moment you see someone That moment it is you that makes me feel complete every single time.

6. ‘It was you on the hill’ It was you on the hill from a distance I could tell but I wouldn't know how to walk up to you & speak as if I were your friend (like I was so long ago) Year by year I must be a distant memory whereas I feel as if I was just talking to you yesterday (sometimes I think I actually did at times) I knew it was you but I looked back just to make sure that you were you not a figure in my imagination I nearly walked back towards the summit so I could get a closer view but my head told me ‘what’s the point?’ (more will be asked and a welcome hello it may not be) All I can take from that moment is that I saw you once more distant like the memories however the heart still skipped a beat or two because I knew it was you (& still in love with you).

7. ‘Beauty, Distance, Strength’ No other beauty will make my heart stronger yet no words will tell how much you mean A distance between hearts yet they are strong when they face each other no matter where they are The strength of love always tougher when not together yet greater side by side.

8. ‘You stood, You saw’ To the left of the photograph you stood, you saw the same view as I did However the view that was will never be of you and I in the same picture frame But I'll always know where you were stood in relation to the view As close as the two hearts were they could never be further away from one another.

9. ‘It was perfect’ It was perfect a moment the heart craved for everything had been for that moment so much belief filled the heart a world of thoughts had already been dreamt & in a glimpse it was all gone thoughts became silent the heart drained of everything that it believed what once was filled with hope and dreams was now a vast empty space which for worse seemed like there was no boundary It was perfect, well nearly everything everything except for me and my mind craving the perfection once more is at the moment a little sore as the heart has dipped & the head is exhausted from so much thought How can something that the heart wanted for so long just be thrown away like it could be replaced by something else so easily and without any pain slowly becoming insane I became...something useless It was perfect & I had my chance my chance I doubt I will never get again.

10. ‘My mind took a step back’ My mind took a step back it watched as the world went by as it couldn’t be part of the fast pace that was continually set by the world The mind resigned itself to the back step where it could see everything that it truly wanted but could do little about or indeed that is what it thought Where the mind could help it would and will but this pace is nothing for the mind where others are better and indeed beyond the pace set My mind took a step back stumbling across everything in its path which indeed did not help the situation However all I could do was get back to my feet telling myself not to be defeated & the step back was for my eyes to see the new path that when ready I will go forward ready for the pace of the world.

12. ‘Keep walking’ The world isn’t flat as first thought It is round so we won’t fall off the edge So we can come back around To where we started No matter how the world treats you keep walking just keep walking By standing strong the chance will come back around So if the sound wasn’t profound the first time keep walking, gathering the experience every feeling to make the next time a bigger fight to win with more to show and more to believe Keep walking to get where you want to be through valleys, cities to the sea as without that walk I’d be lost.

13. ‘We are free as the air we breathe’ Walking through fields we are free as the air we breathe no cloud is too far no dream is too wild We walk through fields with our hearts leading the way If you need my hand it is alway by my side for you for whenever you need it We are free as the air we breathe for that time we walk together across fields to high hills Nothing is too far or too much when I am with you.

14. ‘Unanswered’ There's nothing that can be done because I walked away with many questions left unanswered.
