Old Letters

Old letters
Are heart breakers
They steal your time
It was an old- old time
Now you are not at that moment anymore
You are older and hold something different at your hands
You are not that person anymore
They are all old letters
So was it meant
Old letters are heart breakers
They are old letters

Just the smile on your face

Just the smile on your face can change many things.
It is the smile of angels and its beauty is endless
It is the sun; like newly born moon
Shining can melt me through
My ice, my gloom
It is the smile that can fill my heart with bloom
And when I am cold and alone
Your smile is warm
Can light my soul
Drive my pain, my darkness, my sorrow
Can sow in my heart a hope for tomorrow.
