Untold Tales by a Whimsical Wallflower

Finals will be the death of me.  I think I shall die before Christmas vacation.

“Love, love changes everything: hands and faces, earth and sky.
Love, love changes everything: how you live and how you die.
Love can make the summer fly, or a night seem like a lifetime.
Yes, love, love changes everything, now I tremble at your name.
Nothing in the world will ever be the same.

Love, love changes everything: days are longer, words mean more.
Love, love changes everything: pain is deeper than before.
Love will turn your world around, and that world will last forever.
Yes, love, love changes everything, brings you glory, brings you shame.
Nothing in the world will ever be the same.

Off into the world we go, planning futures, shaping years.
Love bursts in and suddenly all our wisdom disappears.
Love makes fools of everyone: all the rules we make are broken.
Yes, love, love changes everything: live or perish, in its flame.
Love will never ever let you be the same.
Love will never ever let you be the same.”

“Anything but lonely,
Anything but empty rooms.
There’s so much in life to share —
What’s the sense when no one else is there?

Anything but lonely,
Anything but only me.
Quiet years in too much space:
That’s the thing that’s hard to face,
And …

You have a right to go,
But you should also know
That I won’t be alone for long.
Long days with nothing said
Are not what lie ahead —
I’m sorry, but I’m not that strong.

Anything but lonely,
Anything but passing time.
Lonely’s what I’ll never be,
While there’s still some life in me,
And …

I’m still young, don’t forget,
It isn’t over yet —
So many hearts for me to thrill.
If you’re not here to say
How good I look each day,
I’ll have to find someone who will.

Anything but lonely,
Anything but empty rooms.
There’s so much in life to share —
What’s the sense when no one else is there …?”

“No more talk of darkness,
forget these wide-eyed fears;
I’m here, nothing can harm you,
my words will warm and calm you.
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears;
I’m here, with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you.

Say you’ll love me ev’ry waking moment;
turn my head with talk of summertime.
Say you need me with you now and always;
promise me that all you say is true,
that’s all I ask of you.

Let me be your shelter,
let me be your light;
you’re safe, no one will find you,
your fears are far behind you.

All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night;
and you, always beside me,
to hold me and to hide me.

Then say you’ll share with me one love, one lifetime;
let me lead you from your solitude.
Say you want me with you, here beside you,
anywhere you go, let me go too,
that’s all I ask of you.”

Yes, I’m in the current mood of posting song lyrics and poems.  And I’ve been composing some of my own poems as well.  What the heck is wrong with me?  I have absolutely no idea.  If you know what’s wrong with me, please tell me.  I’d LOVE to know.
