Here Is A Poem That I Wrote And I Want 2 Share With U...
Tell Me If U Like It And Have A Nice Day....
SECRET WORLD
Alone in the dark Where u are? I can't feel u I can't hear u
Why? We are on Different places At the same time I want to be With u In the same place At the same time
Alone in the dark I hear my name From far away A beautiful voice From a beautiful Lady Step by step I’m getting closer 2 cold 4 been real
High Wycombe Buckinghamshire The front door is open She let me in She’s in front of me Now we are In the same place At the same time
Grab my hand Let’s find home Maybe is up in the sky A golden compass reflect the sun Maybe we r in the right way Grab my hand Kiss my heart Take me into another world Far away from this chaos Take me into a beautiful world A secret World Where always is sunrise Two full moons A beautiful World That nature design Just for u and me
