Chasing Love

You can't go chasing love
for it'll bring you long, lonely nights.
Because love isn't something you chase.
Love is something you find; sometimes unexpectedly.

Love takes time.
Love is not rushed,
but for some
love is at first sight.

And when you do find it
it's something that can't be expressed
even with all the words in the galaxy.

Do not go chasing love.
Let love find you.

Day to Night

Sighing to myself
as I sit here and watch
the desolate world change
from day to night.

         ......

In just a minute
It'll no longer be today
as tomorrow will approach.

And now I sit here
looking up at the night
to see that there is no more light
of yesterday, but the million
of shinning stars that overlooks
this chilling night.
