Foreword Hi there, dear reader of this book! Yeah, you who is reading this now. First of all, I would like to thank you. Just because you’re spending your time on reading this, and hopefully on reading the poems that will follow after this piece of boring talk. If you’re not really interested in this, you can skip this off course and turn two pages, where I kick this book of with “I’ll share my road”. If you’re about to turn those pages there is still one thing that I would really like to say to you: enjoy! Now, if you’re reading this. Thank you. Thanks for sticking with me. It does actually mean a lot to me that you take your time to read this book. Writing is open up your heart a bit for exposure. Especially when you publish your writings on the internet or in a real book. When I first wrote something and let somebody read that piece, I was biting my nails of because I was really scared. Not because of what the person would think about the poem itself, but because of what I had written. Well, this time, I’m dead scared! I didn’t open my heart for a tiny bit. I’ve opened a whole door this time. And I would like to invite you to come inside and make it yourself cosy and enjoy the time as it passes by. The poems I’ve written are about different subjects. There is a lot of love, but in different kind of ways. Love as there is in friendship, there is really romantic love I’ve written about. Also, there are some poems about being lost. About being lost in yourself, being lost in this big world, about losing someone. But I shouldn’t say what the poem’s subject is. If you’re reading this you’re going to have some favourites, there are some you’re going to hate. And that’s okay. I would be delighted if you can find yourself a meaning for each poem. I believe that each text can mean something different to everybody. But I have said enough by now. I should let you read this book. Have a nice trip in, as I like to call it, in my world…

I’ll Share My Road With You If you can't remember for a quite long time which way you should follow; If you are in doubt for some time now if you should go left or right; If you are passing the same point for the umpteenth time and you think "I've been here before"; If you’re looking on the map and you can't find the place you are; Or when your way has a dead end. Take my hand I'll share my road with you I'll take care, and try to heal you soon When you feel so hopeless insecure; when you feel no feelings anymore;
Take my hand I'll share my road with you I'll take care, and try to heal you soon. When you have given up all your hope when there is no faith anymore and when you think you can't live life on your own Take my hand I'll share my road with you I'll take care, and try to heal you soon
when your demons have taken over your dreams and when you think you can't walk your path no longer alone;

Dancing in the Rain Grey clouds Green grass No sun Only me Outside Raindrops start falling strolling down my face. Each raindrop is a tear I've never cried. But suddenly I start dancing in the rain. I won't let the dark thoughts haunt me longer. I'm dancing in the rain Getting wet I'm dancing in the rain enjoying it I'm dancing in the rain
I'm dancing in the rain Getting wet I'm dancing in the rain I enjoy it I'm dancing in the rain Happy again I'm dancing in the rain No longer thinking I'm dancing in the rain I'm smiling I'm dancing in the rain The sun is shining
Happy again I've been down too long After a while there weren't enough tears to let me cry So inside I almost died But now...
~11~
Who You Were (When You Left) You're not the same person anymore I don't know where you are I don't even know who you are right now You're not the same person anymore who you were, when you left But if it could happen I would be happy to meet you again Say Hello-Who are you-nice to meet you... again I wonder if I would recognise you when I saw you walking down the street because
who you were, when you left When you would pass by I probably would look at you think -Whoahand stare with nothing to say I wouldn't even know it was you I saw because You're not the same person anymore who you were, when you left Tell me where you are right now because I want to meet you again and pretend nothing ever happened since you've left
~13~
How Do You Say Hey girl, I want to ask you a question if I may but I don't really know how to say My heart was broken too many times to exposure it too everybody just like this again. If I could I would take your hand and just show you how many pictures I have in my head Hey girl, I know I'm talking nonsense to you like this but I really don't know how to say I don't know in which way I should say that my heart has fallen in love with you
~15~
Fake Smile They ask you how you are you say you’re fine but you're pretending You put up that fake smile everyday again so that nobody would see that in fact you're just broken on the inside They ripped your heart out didn't care about how you would feel And still nobody sees that you are broken beaten, lost and scared You're looking for a home, any direction for a place between two warm arms You still believe that one day you'll find that place But for now you'll keep pretending everything is okay and put up your fake smile again
~17~

I Don’t Understand Mama, can you explain me the things I don't understand Why is it that people are making war about which God is best if they don't know does one of them really exist? Mama, can you explain me the things I don't understand Why is it that when parents are divorced one always tell the kids
Why is it that people hurt each other to become the first in the queue why is it that they just don't wait? Mama, can you explain me the things I don't understand
that he or she is the best? Mama, can you explain me the things I don't understand
~21~
When I Close My Eyes I put my belongings into my bag I'm gonna leave this place I'm getting depressive over here. I wanna feel some happiness love or just some sun in my heart. When I close my eyes I see pictures of you and me happy together and in love And I miss you I can't live my life without you I tried but it didn't work every time, everything ended by you When I close my eyes I see pictures of you and me happy together and in love And then she came and smiled at me
for more then a second I wasn't thinking about you When I close my eyes I just see her smile, fantasies of her and me, happy together and in love When I close my eyes I see pictures of her smiling When I close my eyes I see pictures of her and me happy together and in love When I close my eyes I see memories of you and me and I know you will be always there
In my mind‌
~23~
Do You Feel The Same When I do things, that make me think about you. When I feel something, that reminds me of you. I start wondering, do you ever feel the same, or are you completely over me? Have you ever felt the same, like I felt about you? I gave you my heart, you broke it. I said things I really meant, but all you did was laugh when you heard them. I'm wondering, do you ever feel the same, or are you completely over me? Have you ever felt the same, like I felt about you? Sometimes I really don't know
But I know their will be always that tiny part of my heart that is reserved for you, and whatever that comes along you stay in that place forever But I still wonder do you ever feel the same, or are you completely over me? Have you ever felt the same, like I felt about you Do you ever feel the same, or are you completely over me? Have you ever felt the same, like I felt about you?
did you really mean it was forever when you said it was. Sometimes I don't know did you ever truly loved me with whole your heart.
~25~
Lost I don't know which direction I should take Now you're gone
and I think
you left me
I'm a little bit
on my own
lost
I don't know which direction I should take and I think I'm a little bit lost in the world I don't understand when you're not with me You pushed me away, said get out of my life and leave but I'll always be closer then you think I'll be
in the world I don't understand when you're not with me I'll never give up on you and I'll keep the promises that I’ve once made I don't know which direction I should take and I think I'm a little bit lost in the world I don't understand when you're not with me
~27~
True Love Now we've found the love we always have been looking for, now that our souls are finally bound Heart took over the brain, hands strangled and we wake up tangled in the sheets it's true love when I said that you smelled like strawberries you answered "It's chocolate that I smell" Heart took over the brain, hands strangled and we wake up tangled in the sheets it's true love When I was drowning in your eyes you took me in your arms and pushed me to your chest close to the heart I fell in love with Heart took over the brain, hands strangled and we wake up tangled in the sheets it's true love ~29~
A Happy Moment Early mornin' sitting in the local cafĂŠ having a hot cup of coffee it's winter leaves on the ground it's raining people wearing warm coats I'm dreaming staring outside sitting alone on my table finally happy again I love this moment time could stop ticking and I would be here happy forever dreaming through the window

If Life Was a Movie Why is a movie always better than life turns to be? Why is it that a man with untreatable cancer can survive his dead? Why do all the losers end up with those beautiful girls? Why is it that the good always win from the bad? If life was just a movie I would be rich and famous, happy as a guy can be and have the most cutest and beautiful girlfriend you've ever seen.
Why is it that that every couple get back together after the whole story? If life was just a movie I would be rich and famous, happy as a guy can be and have the most cutest and beautiful girlfriend you've ever seen. It turns out that life isn't a movie. No, life is just the cruellest bitch you've ever met
But I'm not an actor in the movie of my life I'm just a clown messing around. Why does every film have a happy end? ~33~
Love at first sight You look at me, I look at you. You smile to me and I answer by blowing a kiss to you Is this love at first sight like they say or is this just some playing around? You came to me and I said "Hi, you look so good" but you were
You put a note in my pocket "it's my number don't lose it baby" was what you said Is this love at first sight like they say or is this just some playing around? You kissed my cheek and waved goodbye I said
already
I won't
blushing
but you
Is this love at first sight like they say or is this just some playing
were already gone Was this love at first sight or was it just some playing around?
around? ~35~
Where Are You Now? Why don't we talk no more? Why don't we got out for a walk no more? Why don't we even call no more? We used to share dreams we used to share our plans we even used to share the same ideas Where you were, I was there Were I was, there were you But now I'm here alone and I don't know, but tell me where are you? Why don't we talk no more? Why don't we got out for a walk no more?
Why don't we talk no more? Why don't we got out for a walk no more? Why don't we even call no more? We used to laugh about the same thing we used to talk about great events which only took place in the dreams that we shared but tell me...
Why don't we even call no more? Isn't it funny how everything can change while everything stays the same
Why don't we talk
I don't really know
no more?
what happened
Why don't we got out for a walk
And in a matter of fact
no more?
I don't really need to know
Why don't we even call no more?
~37~
Under The Same Sky I am here and you are there but together we are under the same sky If I look up to the clouds and you do exactly the same on the other side of the world maybe we're looking to the same cloud I am here and you are there but together we are under the same sky At night we both could lie down watching the stars as the time passes by It would look like we were lying down alone but in our hearts we both would know that I am here and you are there but together we are under the same sky

(That’s Not) The Way I See Me But I won't I'm a wounded man
let people see
I've got many scars
what's going
from the past,
on inside me
but probably there are more to come
Nobody has to see the way I see me
But I won't
Nobody sees me
let people see
the way I see me
what's going
They think I feel better
on inside me
than they feel.
Nobody has to
They think
see the way
I'm always
I see me I'm scared of nothing only feared of nightmares
smiling, but they don't feel me. They think I feel fine
that might
but that's not
come true
the way I see me
~43~
Now I Cry Myself Asleep Look at this You've always said that you'd always be there for me but where are you know
fucked up world it's hard to survive on your own don't you think? Everybody's asking
And now I cry myself asleep at night
when I cry myself
"how are you doing sir?"
well now
asleep?
but nobody really cares
where are you dear?
about what the answer
I just need you
Everything went downhill from the moment
will be. And now
that you were gone
I cry myself asleep
I'm completely lost
at night
in this mad world without you. And now I cry myself asleep at night
well now where are you, dear?
by my side Tonight I'll be on your side I promise I'll be there when your demons
I just need you
keep you awake
by my side
I'll be there when
You should see
well now
how my demons
where are you girl?
eat from my brain
I just need you
they keep me awake
by my side
at night and are feed
no one gives about you I'll always be there 'cause I'll never go
by the thoughts of the day
~45~
Road of Happiness I'm walking on the road of happiness it's full of those beautiful memories The road is full of fog but it's okay I can see the memories so clear And I'm walking on the road of happiness and it's full of beautiful memories I see things from the past that I've forgotten the memories from moments I was full of warm happiness
~47~
Light Up The City I'm sure with the warmth Winter's done, the summer's gone
of your love you could melt
and it has been
the pieces of my heart
freezing to long.
back together
I try to be cheerful,
And maybe
but my heart's still
you could
broken and when I try to smile my heart breaks a little bit more You could warm my soul, and together we could light up the whole city tonight. Imagine you and I together lighten up this whole place
make me smile You could warm my soul, and together we could light up the whole city tonight. We could be stars above the city, we could be shining, not only at night we could lighten up this city we could lighten up this city This city
try to see
would be
how awesome
lightened
it would look
by the energy of our love tonight. ~49~
I Promise And I promise I remember the day
I'll always be there
that you start talking to me.
when you need me
We've had a chat
And I promise
about nothing at all
I'll take care of you
But we both had a laugh
whenever you need it
and a new friend
I only stay as long as you want
And I promise
so it's up to you,
I'll always be there
you decide when the moment
when you need me
has come that I have to go
And I promise I'll take care of you when you need it the most I only stay as long as you want so it's up to you if we're friends forever The years have passed and nothing stays the same we’ve had our fights, we’ve had our words, we’ve had our laughs we’ve had our cries
I know we can make it to the future as long as we are strong we must care for each other But I promise I'll stay 'till the very last word has spoken When there is no longer anything to say I'll stay 'till you feel like you don't need me anymore
and still I'm right behind you
But remember
although we've both changed
you'll be my friend forever in my heart
~51~
In Love With You I'm thinking about the memories that we once have shared. I can still remember the one where you said "I love you" to me, while that shining smile was on your face Suddenly I melted and felt in more love to you. I can still remember the one where you were crying in my arms. I tried to dry your tears and kissed your cheek. Suddenly I melted and felt once more
Can you remember when I got from the train? You ran into my arms. In the middle of that platform, we kissed each other and didn't care about what the world would think Suddenly I melted and felt once more in love with you Now all those memories are gone but I'll keep them safe in the vault that's called my mind. And suddenly I realise I'm still in love with you
in love with you
~53~
Are You Doing That Too? I'm staring at the ceiling, thinking 'bout you and I'm wondering are you doing that too? You are far away from here and I'm about to die of missing you and I'm wondering are you doing that too? Each time when I kiss your lips by each hug I give to you and I'm wondering are you loving me too? and I wonder sometimes am I the only one who has these thoughts or are you having them too?
~55~
I Wish You Were Here The rain is ticking on my window and I don't know where you are but I wish you were here lying next to me. I would tell what I feel I could be your teddy bear Oh I wish you were here Together underneath the sheets our legs strangled in between my arms around you and our lips kissing for the words unspoken I would tell what I feel I could be your teddy bear Oh I wish you were here In my arms you could sleep you could even count the sheep together we would be here Oh my lord I wish you were here
~57~
Help Me To Carry The Fire Will you help me to carry the fire when I won't be able to carry it no longer Will you help me to carry the fire when I need it the most? You're my best friend and I believe, even when you're miles away you are still close to me Will you help me to carry the fire when I can't hold it any longer will you help me to carry the fire when I am in need Don't ever leave me please I need you to stay on my side whatever that will happen I need you help me to carry the fire to keep our fire burning to keep the fire inside us in dark nights when we need it the most
~59~
Tonight Between The Stars Tonight we could get lost between the stars Tonight the sky could be our playground Between the stars is enough place for the two of us Between the stars there will be enough light to see your beautiful smile Tonight we could get lost between the stars Tonight the sky could be our playground The people who stay behind will see us putting the stars together The whole earth will ask us "is it really that beautiful like it seems" I'll not be able to answer that question honestly I guess because between all those stars the only thing I'll be able to see is you Tonight we could meet between the stars Tonight the sky could be our home ~61~

My Way If you can’t remember for a quite long time which way you should follow; If you are in doubt for some time now if you have to go right or left; If you are passing the same point for the umpteenth time where you think “I’ve been here before”; If you are looking on the map again and you can’t find the place you are; Or when the way you are on has a dead end
Take my hand I’ll share my road with you and I’ll look after you, I promise you can stay as long as you want even if that means like forever
