Love is a mystery by Ilona Hesse (short books to read TXT) 📕

Going To Sleep

I hear your voice and see your face.
And every time I do, I get those butterflies.
Feeling your touch is something special;
I drift away into the seven skies.

Lips as soft as rose petals,
And as sweet as a chocolate candy bar.
I can't help but kissing you.
If I was the sky, you'd be my only star.

Suddenly I lie awake,
My eyes starring at the ceiling.
I realize it was just a dream
Of memories and unforgettable feelings.

I cry a while to ease the pain;
The tears are the ones that console me.
The shadows in my room like ghosts;
Chasing my mind and not letting me sleep.

I never thought it would come this far,
Never thought we'd be this close.
And though they're nothing but memories,
I watch my love for you as it grows.

So I ask God why he chose you
To be the one I'd fall for.
He didn't answer and I don't know what to do.
I'd rather just walk out of that door.

I'd walk out of this door,
Chasing a love I know will never be.
But then I decide to just close my eyes,
Think of you and go to sleep.


You Took My Heart

You took my heart
And locked it in a cage,
You got rid if the key;
Simply turned the book's page.

I haven't seen my heart,
But I still feel its beat,
And the thought of loving you,
Makes my poor soul weak.

Looking at your picture;
Framed by my hands.
Not sure what to do,
Not sure of my plans.

Am thinking of you,
And my heart you took.
Please take care of it,
Give it a second look.

It's very breakable,
So keep it by your side,
Because I might need it again
At some point of my life.

Her Memory

She wanted your touch,
That's all, not too much.
Wanted to feel your caress,
Her mind was a complete mess.
She wanted nothing but love.
Seeing you just wasn't enough.
Her heart racing when you're near,
At night you haven't seen her tear;
She was crying for you,
It'll never be, she knew.

But then she felt your embrace,
And saw the passion in your face;
The world around just disappeared,
Now there was nothing she feared.
It was more than your touch,
And she wanted it so much.
Suddenly reality and dream world,
Emotions mercilessly unfurled.

Tonight she's lying awake,
She was crying ; her eyes ache.
Reality is playing a dreadful game,
She knows it'll never be the same,
Still the dreams she dreams
Are comforting it seems.
Well, they're not; you can not see,
And all she has left is the memory.

Forever

Forever I will love you,
No matter where you are,
Where I am.

Forever I'll think of you,
No matter what I do,
What I feel.

Forever I'll care about you,
No matter if you are happy,
If you're sad.

Forever I will need you,
No matter who I'm with,
If you're alone.

Forever I will miss you,
No matter where I am,
Where you are.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow
Is going to be better.
Tomorrow
Is going to be brighter.
Tomorrow
Is going to be joyful
Tomorrow
Is going to be peaceful.


Tomorrow
Is going to be cheerful.
Tomorrow
Is going to be lovely.
Tomorrow
Is going to be musical
Tomorrow
Is going to be calm.

Tomorrow
Is going to be happy.
Tomorrow
Is going to be sunny.
Tomorrow
Is going to be wonderful
Tomorrow
Is going to be different.

Courage

When courage becomes your worst enemy you get scared. You're afraid to lose, even though you know you have courage.
It's like walking up a mountain, five feet away from the top and thinking you're not going to make it. You will want to turn around and just jump. But then there is this voice in your head that tells you to rethink, and the feeling in your heart that tells you that you can do it.
All there is to it is to believe and find the courage within. We concentrate on things so unimportant, that the real important issues fade away.
Courage is something you're not going to find on the street like you might find money. You are not going to find it in the closet where you find your best shoes. You're not going to find it like you find a best friend's gift in a store. There is only one way to find courage: in your heart.
Don't be scared. It won't hurt. You just have to go for it and use it. It is the main reason for you to reach the top of the highest mountain. It's the key to the door that locks your goals. Unlock that door!
