" I lend everyone my ear,But nobody my heart,And I sure would like to change that,But I don't know where to start,I smile more to myself,Than the world will ever see,Because the only time my smile is real,Is in my own company,People don't know how I feel,They never even ask,It seems I have fooled them all,They can't see past my mask,If they were with me late at night,When the world was still asleep,Maybe I'd let them sort,Through the secrets that I keep,But when I wake at 2am,Nobody is ever there,And I learnt that why I hide my heart,Is because no-one really cares.

" He slid over to me and grabbed me closer to him. My smile fell from my face with the unexpectedness of it. His hands cupped my face, his lips hovering above mine.
“You seriously want to know, Tess?”
He closed the space and claimed my mouth with an urgent, hot, delving kiss.
He smiled. “You are sexy, in your own goofball way, you’re sweet and beautiful and smart and funny and, although you kiss to the point where I feel like I want to go back for seconds, you’re my best friend, and that’s why I don’t want to tap that. "

" The Game
Today i want to play a game,
you'll win if you can guess my name,
I am the one who hide behind shadows,
Behind my smile i hide my deepest sorrows,
I am the one who wants to be loved,
But can't overcome the memories of once beloved,
I am the one who hear voices and see faces,
find a friend who love and actually cares,
I am the one who spent his life in illusion,
Believing that everything happens for a reason,
I am the one who is scared of happiness,
Because of that i never lived in fullness,
I am the one who lost the meaning of life,
There is no motivation which can thrive,
I am the one who failed a lot,
All the lessons i remember is what life taught,
I am the one people love his silence,
Ignoring the pain adoring his patience,
Look at me one more time and guess my name,
you'll win if you can guess my name "
