Wind at our back

I can't wait 'til the Summer,

for this cold to be gone,

for the leaves to be sprouting,

and those spring-morning runs!

When we pack our horse,

and polish its chrome,

dressed in leather and cool,

call the highway our own.

Imagine the fun

those roads heel to us

Our days in the sun,

with a tank full of gas.

When the winds kiss our cheeks,

in the mid-summer day,

when the rays of the sun,

will guide our way.

 Can you promise me, babe,

that this winter so hard,

is just step on the road,

where we're never apart!

All my love,

ICP

Life can turn into a strong of rapid current, 

flowing through narrow of channels

in the river of the Everyday.

Treasure the little wonders,

passed to you by fate, 

Hence, I would like to announce 

that I can't wait for the arrival 

of our bundle of love in June!

One more time?

He told me he wears his heart on his sleeve,
I told him that my heart had been broken again.
He called me beautiful and meant it,
I called him, because I was lonely.
He made me laugh even so I didn't want to,
I made the decision to let go of the pain.
He send me flowers without a reason,
I send out that letter that I've been holding on to.
He held my hand when I was weak,
I held onto the moment and let go of the past.
He promised everything will be all-right,
I promised me to put myself first.
he asked me to be his future,
I asked myself should I risk one more time
He kissed me and
                I kissed him back!

A beautiful Poem of my beautiful friend

I remember the day, I met you by chance,

we hung out in the kitchen and I felt like home.

I had found a friend, someone that listened to me

and still remembered every word the next time we met!

Sometimes month would pass, life got so busy,

but whenever we saw each other again, 

it was like that first time in the kitchen

We talked, we laughed, never cried...I do that now!

If I would have known last week when I saw you for the last time,

that death will visit you before I will, 

would I have taken it for granted that you would be there tomorrow?

What if I would have known, that when we said Good Bye,

that it really was the last hug and the last kiss.

What if I would have known that it would be the last time 

we will talk about our loved ones, our hopes, our dreams,

would I have stayed a little longer, and hugged you a little closer?

Now you are in heaven, left all the worries behind,

like so many loved ones with broken hearts.

Your life was too short, you were too young to go!

I miss you, there is a void in my heart,

I lost my beautiful friend! 

But the day will come when I will meet you again,

we will hang out in heaven's kitchen

and it will be like the first time we ever met!

I love you girlfriend
