For the darling bass player

I miss you
by Cassmarie Yang
I miss you so much
I know this feeling is more than a crush
I don't want to ever forget you
I just want to have you

I miss you so much
I never knew I could feel as such
I think I'm losing my mind
But I really don't mind

I miss you so much
I need to feel your touch
So don't stay away too long
I'm not willing to wait that long

If thou must love me

by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

If thou must love me, let it be for nought
Except for love's sake only. Do not say
"I love her for her smile her look her way
Of speaking gently, for a trick of thought
That falls in well with mine, and certes brought
A sense of ease on such a day"
For these things in themselves, Beloved, may
Be changed, or change for thee, and love, so wrought,
May be unwrought so. Neither love me for
Thine own dear pity's wiping my cheek dry,
A creature might forget to weep, who bore
Thy comfort long, and lose thy love thereby!
But love me for love's sake, that evermore
Thou may'st love on, through love's eternity.

How Do I Love Thee?

by Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

A special dedication

Love
by Cassiemarie Yang

Love is not a mere word,
It's a special bond.
A special kind of bond,
That holds two hearts at closed.

Love is not a feeling,
It's a commitment that's long-lasting.
It's not sustained by material things,
But trust, loyalty, and lots of caring.

Love knows its limits,
Yet it is unconditional in all circumstances.
It does not alter in times of weakness,
But only grows stronger in fondness.

Love - I've finally come to understand,
Because of your love that did not bend.
I'm glad that you're still holding my hand,
With God, I know our love will stand.

Simplicity has great meaning

I came across this poem from a website. It's simple, yet it expresses all that I long to thank God for :)

Thank You God
by Ashley Swanson age 6

I thank you God for my eyes
To see when I rise.

I thank you God for my nose
So I can smell a rose.

I thank you God for my hands
Which were in God’s plans

I thank you God for my ear
That helps me hear

I thank you God for my feet
Dancing is real neat

I thank you God for the food
That I chewed

I thank you God for clothes
So I can pose

I thank you God for my friends
For parties to attend

I thank you God for a house
Even with a mouse

I thank you God for toys
That make a lot of noise

I thank you God for the Bible
That is reliable

I thank you God for everything
Your praises I will sing

Brown Penny

By William Butler Yeats

I WHISPERED, 'I am too young.'
And then, 'I am old enough';
Wherefore I threw a penny
To find out if I might love.
'Go and love, go and love, young man,
If the lady be young and fair.'
Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny,
I am looped in the loops of her hair.

O love is the crooked thing,
There is nobody wise enough
To find out all that is in it,
For he would be thinking of love
Till the stars had run away
And the shadows eaten the moon.
Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny,
One cannot begin it too soon.

I don't always make the right choice,
But it doesn't mean I'm not trying.
And when it comes to love,
Is there right and wrong?

I'm working hard to be a better me,
Trying hard to not compromise my believes.
But if a mistake were to be made,
Give me time and space to make right again.

The world tends to forget that I'm only mere human,
Constantly comparing me with status that were never mine.
Who are they to hold it against me?
Truth be told, you're no different than me.

I may never be the person you long me to be,
And I might not make decisions that you were hoping for.
Will you then be understanding and forgiving?
Or will you just turn your face away?

All I desire is happiness and love,
And that is what he is to me.
If God is willing to give us a second chance,
Would you not do the same?

Glad to have you

I was seriously caught off guard.

I had not the slightest idea that it was heading my way so soon.
I tried to cover up, but I couldn't outsmart them.
I wasn't emotionally and mentally prepared for such confrontation.
To a certain extend, I'm relieved that they are already aware of it.
Yet to another, I'm just still not ready to deal with the awkwardness and constant lectures.

The statements that they've made have caused me to doubt your sincerity, and believe me; I hate such feelings.
They don't hate you, they're just as afraid as I was - sometimes, I still am.
It's too overwhelming for me right now; and I need you to walk beside me and to carry this load with me.

I'm truly glad that you've decided to stay; even when you clearly knew that this journey wasn't an easy one to begin with.
I'm always grateful and thankful to God for you; and this time round, let us do it the right way - ok?

Circumstances around us might get tougher, and people's views and opinions may alter;
But one thing that will always be left unchanged; my love and God's towards you.
'I'll always love you, my bass player'.


Sonnet CXVI by William Shakespeare
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when an alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose's worth unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

Will you walk the same path as me?

I'm no super model,
Yet you call me beautiful.
I'm no Einstein,
Yet you listen to my every word.

I'm nothing like you,
But I'm in love with you.
And you're not a bit like me,
Yet together we long to be.

I wonder how long will all this last?
For it might all be just lust.
If you really love me like you say you do,
Then please walk the same path as me.

The journey

In a dark corner,
I hid my face.
But I became a runner,
Wanting to complete the race.

The journey felt forever,
And weariness took over.
But my scars pushed me forward,
Even when it began to hurt.

Shame crushed my spirit,
Dissapointments held me down.
But I knew I'd to make the cut,
'Cause I needed the crown.

The prize was near,
Because I heard the cheers.
Yet when I drew closed,
I saw no end.

By Cassiemarie Yang

What can I say?

I thought I was strong,
And that I wasn’t wrong.
I thought I had it all,
But all I did was fall.

I felt so very sure,
I needed no cure.
I felt I had won,
But inside I was torn.

I hate that I still miss you,
And that I still love you.
But what can I say?
You didn’t stay.
