The first time we met,
I never thought what I'd felt,
My whole heart, had just wept
And I thought I would melt.
All the things I kept,
Gives me a feeling of hatred,
That has destroyed my health
And had lost so much weight.
By the time, you find me laughing,
You will never know what I'm really feeling.
I'm only waiting,
For your endless loving.
That you'd know me better,
That I am not just an eager beaver.
But a love seeker,
And your secret admirer

My friend, I hate to do this,
But, our friendship just can't last.
The times, we've shared together,
Have faded to the past.
I told you this would happen,
Our friendship was bound to end,
Although, I know you cared,
I no longer consider you a friend.
Please don't try to argue,
But, try to understand.
That time, can change two people
As the tide, can change the sand.
Our friendship, had been lovely.
But you see, it has to end.
For I look at you in a different way,
I have fallen in love with you My Friend.
-originally written by jigs in 1991
I looked around, and saw that you were not there.
I looked again, thinking you were just somewhere.
But, somehow, i guess, it's easy to see,
You're just not there, not there, waiting for me.
Your thoughts never left my mind,
There's always your face, your face that glows.
Your memories taunt me everyday,
I want you to come back, come back and stay.
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe I'm not.
But, it's driving me insane,
How I wish I could see you again,
To hear your voice, every now and then.
But I know, deep down
I can never have you back
Because, somewhere, somehow,
There's someone else there, in your heart.

I miss the good times we once shared,
Especially all those sweet things you've said.
Now, even a single "How are you?" I don't hear,
How will I let you know that I'm still here?
I really don't know what went wrong,
We were so close before,
The bond of friendship between us was so strong.
But now, we kid each other no more.
You used to call me everyday,
Just to make sure that I'm doing okay.
But, lately you seem so far away.
Is "Hello" really that hard to say?
I keep showing you that I care,
You just ignore it, it's so not fair!
It's hurting me don't you see?
So, Please... Say again that you love me...

The moment I saw you,
I fell in love.
The girl of my dreams, has finally come.
But love for me, you had none...
That face of yours, which i long to touch.
To tell you that I love you so much.
On the bridge, where our eyes first met,
That fateful day I would not forget.
My heart longed for you,
And in the darkest nights,
I call your name,
For you were mine.
So in death, we must part.
To satisfy this broken heart.
Forgive me my sweet, for you are mine
And mines to keep...

It was a hot Saturday morning,
The sun, was up and shining.
When I arrived at this new place,
Tired, exhausted ans dazed.
Yet, work had to be done,
I guess, there isn't time for fun.
There, they were, smiling.
Their kind faces -- bright and beaming.
The days passed by swiftly,
I adapted to the environment quickly.
Their laughter, echo's through my ears.
Their joys, problems and fears.
These young, vibrant youth,
Struggling in search for truth.
Eager to learn and grow.
Hoping, that today, would be, as bright as tomorrow.
Then, like all beginnings,
There are endings.
As I pass by the places I've been,
Their faces, flashed like a dream.
As i was leaving the place,
Memories of these youth I'll embrace.
Their hopes, dreams and visions -- I pray,
They'll achieve someday.
I thank God above,
For giving the gift of love.
For they have touched my life,
-- A treasure that is very hard to find.

It isn't often that I'd say I love you,
It isn't often that I'd be sincere and true.
But, thanks for understanding,
The things I am not saying.
That's the reason why I know,
That I love you so.
The one I've long been waiting for,
The one I love and adore.
A look into each other's eyes you'd see,
How much you really mean to me.
Even the silence we share,
A special bond, thats beyond compare.
We need not say much to know,
That our love has grown.
From a brief look at each other,
To a lifetime of love -- forever.
For we are both lost souls,
Searching for our north pole.
And now, we've finally caught up with time,
We both know, deep inside, we'd both be fine.

I know you are hurting,
Yes, Life is so confusing.
But, take time to listen,
You are not yet beaten.
If, you'd take time to find,
You'd know what's on my mind.
You'd know the things i'd like to say,
To assure you, that it's okey.
There's no need to hide,
Those feelings kept inside.
For, what you feel for me,
I do, to thee.
Don't look away,
Listen and stay.
I have been waiting for you to say,
Those precious words someday...
Don't be afraid to say,
The words i long to hear today.
Look, into my eyes,
And you'll find the truth that there lies.
originally written by jigs on July 16, 1996 for J.V.
Why do I listen to you,
when, all you do is make me blue?
Why do I pretend it's okey,
when everyday seems so gray?
What makes me believe you,
that all you say is true?
Ho do I know it's me,
who makes your heart beat rapidly?
How ca you say you love me?
When it's her face you see.
How can you hold her tight?
When it's me, you think of, every night.
How can you tarnish this love and trust?
Was it really love? or was it lust?
Try to be certain, yes, you must.
Not for me, but for US.
I am not holding on,
for my selfish needs alone.
Everything I do, is for you,
Coz', I still love you true.
You've struck a dagger through my heart.
Yet, hating you, I just could not start.
Now, our love, is put on trial.
Do I deserve this betrayal?
Listen, to your heart my sweet,
Listen, to its every beat.
Despite of all these, I still love thee
Even if, you hurt me terribly...
originally written by jigs on March 31, 1996
How do you say to a friend,
It's not what you intend.
Yet, life itself is mean,
Or so, it may seem.
For, when I look at you,
I wonder if this is all true.
I then came to realize,
As I looked into your eyes.
The friendship we shared,
That could never be compared,
Has slowly gone,
Now, there is none.
Why can't you see?
These changes in me.
Please, don't pretend,
That you can't comprehend.
These words that you hear,
Coupled with emotions and fear.
Open your eyes, and see,
The changes that came to be.
Do try to understand,
This is not what I planned.
So wipe away your tears,
And take away your fears.
It's true that I must go,
But, I'll be back tomorrow...
A friend, I will no longer be,
For I have fallen in love with thee...

All the hurt I'll endure,
To keep our love alive and secure.
No man nor beast,
Could put our love on a leash.
Fate had guided you to me,
Destiny made this possible, can't you see?
Now, we're on a cross road,
Please don't put our love on hold.
You're blinded by principles,
Yet, love knows no obstacles.
This is all but a test,
Fight, and he'd do the rest.
Can't you see I'm fighting?
Even if, my heart is breaking.
I'm losing you my sweet,
Wake up! and don't retreat.
Soon, the tide would subside,
I'd still be here by your side.
Reach out and touch the morning,
I'll always be here waiting...
