Neighbor Girl

early morning
i wake up to get a glimpse of you
i make an excuse
to come over to your house

your brother ain't much of a talker
but i try to make conversation
so that i get to see you
reading your favorite book

i can tell when you are having a bad day
that's when i try to crack a joke
most of them are lame i know
still it makes you smile

a smile
as bright as the sun
that lightens up my day

i eagerly wait
to see you again
my neighbor girl

Goodbye My Brother

you went away
without a warning
we shared everything
but this you did not

i go to the court
to play some ball
but where's my friend
who passed me the ball

i got into fights
without hesitation
because i knew
i had my back covered

now it seems
i've lost my shadow
goodbye my brother
you'll always live
in my memories

You Are Not What I Like

you are not what i like
you are bossy
too naggy
and i hate it when you are bitchy

just because you have the looks
or because every guy wants you
they aren't good enough reasons
for me to like you

can't have a conversation
you start talking about your riches
only the sex is good i admit
but everything else is bad

time to take a stance
to do what makes me happy
i'm leaving you for good
because you aren't what i like

When We Were Young

we dreamt of growing up
to do our own jobs
and be independent
when we were young

now we've all grown up
trying to reach our goals
i can't stop thinking
how simple life was
when we were young

no responsibilities
no worrying about the future
a carefree life we lived
full of laughter

so when i'm crushed between work
i go back to my childhood memories
then for a minute or two
all my troubles go away

Leaving Without a Goodbye

we knew it had to end
before we even got started
still,
i'll always cherish
what we had

your presence
always brought a smile to my face
a glimpse of you
turned my bad days to good

we were supposed to meet for one last time
to say our goodbyes
but here i am on a plane
leaving without a goodbye

Doing What's Right

always try to do what's right
things to make you smile
i sacrifice my time
to do these things for you

i don't mind
putting my life on hold
to do what it takes
to make you happy

but it gets harder
to keep going like this
when all you do
is make me feel,
like i've fell short
