The Kiss

When you said, 'can I get a kiss?'
I realised I hadn't had the chance to really look at you.
I turned around and looked into your eyes
that made me realise why I loved you.

'You just want a kiss?'
'I haven't got one yet today.'

That released all the stresses and worries that
were following me home and let me reach out to you
who were sitting beside me, and waiting for me.

At that moment, I just let go of everything
and held you closer to my heart.
I held you tight to really feel you being there.
I gave a kiss more than a kiss and
wanted to give you thousands more for the rest of our days.
As I gazed into your eyes looking into mine,
I fell in love again. As I placed my hand on your cheek
ready to embrace you, all of you,
you wrapped your arm around my neck and gave me a kiss.
If there is a heaven on earth,
that was it. That's where I wanna be.
Nothing else mattered.
I didn't want anything else.

When I close my eyes, I still feel it.
You, me and the kiss.

Falling for you

I have fallen,
fallen deeply into your world,
ever since you gave me your smile,
I am your captive.

My foot got snatched into mud.
I lost my footing,
covered in a muddy mess,
I'm in chaos.

I hear your cackling laughters.
Like the cupid's arrows,
they fly straight to my heart.
I am stricken and
now I'm on my knees.

Like a loyal dog on the floor, drooling,
All I think about is to be with you.
I must get your attention
and gain more affection.

I have fallen,
fallen ever more deeply into your world.
As long as you give me your love,
I am yours truly.

January 17th, 1995 (Remastered)

If there were Godzilla, like on the TV,
it was him. Angry with us people, for what,
I don't know;
Stomping around, smashing houses.
Shocking me awake,
I was scared.

There was a sound like a lightning,
striking a tree, ripping it in half.
Then I was pulled, pulled from side to side,
like somebody bumped the table and
I was jelly on a plate.

My mum and dad were beside me,
covering me with a shield of a blanket.
Feeling their arms over me, over my head,
I felt safe.

It stopped shaking and we ran out to the park
where I saw my friends in their pyjamas,
like me.

‘Mum. What was that?’
‘An earthquake, an earthquake hit us.
Stay close to me.’

An earthquake?
An earthquake that felt like,
I was standing on top of a Jenga tower.

It stopped shaking and we went home;
Shattered glasses.
No water from the tap.
No fire from the cooker.

Then I saw on the TV,
burning houses,
a twisted motorway,
a department store crushed
like a can.

This wasn’t my city anymore.
