LOVED UP

These are significant things.
The problem is I keep feeling blue.
I keep feeling painfully blue.
The problem is the problem is you.
The problem is the problem is you.

I need to say to him,
things I've kept for better days.
I don't like crying in the rain.
Oh! It's never best to go to war
but this is my life I'm fighting for
and I'm not the sort to run away.
I would never just disappear.

So I keep on, keeping on,
keeping all the rows at bay.
The problem is that problems-
they never just go away.
And I keep sleeping on it,
and, to be perfectly honest,
I keep weeping about it too.

The problem is I keep feeling blue.
I keep feeling painfully blue.
The problem is the problem is you.
The problem is the problem is you.

What's anyone supposed to do?
As it goes, you grow and you grow,
and finally you grow to know
there is no more growing to do.

You know what you must pursue.
You know what you must pursue.
The problem is I keep feeling blue.
The problem is the problem is you.

Life has started to take us apart.
This ache is you breaking my heart.
And I take it you haven't got a clue.
Where do we start?
We part! We part! Oh dear!
You've got absolutely no idea.
Problem is I keep feeling blue.
The problem is the problem is you.

So I keep on, keeping on,
keeping all the rows at bay.
The problem is that problems-
they never just go away.
And I keep sleeping on it,
and, to be perfectly honest,
I keep weeping about it too.

The problem is I keep feeling blue.
I keep feeling painfully blue.
The problem is the problem is you.
The problem is the problem is you.
The problem is I keep feeling blue.
I keep feeling painfully blue.
The problem is the problem is you.
The problem is the problem is you.

THE PROBLEM IS YOU

I don't care for parties-
they're really not my scene.
I'm not big on all that smalltalk.
.....I'm shy
.....and I'm seriously 'arty'-
I wouldn't go there to be seen.
I'm not that kind of a man machine.

I like my own company.
I like being deep in thought,
.....seeing what pictures
might be beautifully wrought.
I'm always dreaming what pictures
.....might be bought.
At the end of every month
my income is always spent.
I just about make the rent.
But the models are beautiful.
All the beautiful nudes
they all exude different attitudes.
My current favourite is Nancy.

Nancy in the buff is heavenly.
But it's just not enough for me.
My heart flutters when I see her.
.....I think I might be in love.
Fancying Nancy is a no brainer.
.....I think I might be in love.

FANCYING NANCY

It's midnight. I'm only lightly
.....sleeping.
I keep smelling your perfume.
It's floating like a friendly ghost
passing through my room.
Are you haunting me my love?
Oh! I'm already being haunted
.....by our love.

I  can half believe
.....that you're still here.
A reminiscent you is kissing me.
I'm praying to the heavens
.....that you're missing me.
Someone's just wiped away a tear.
It's as if you were really here
and you wiped away my tears
.....like you do.
..........Just like you do.

Thank you for your presence
.....in my life.
Thank you for the feelings,
all the joy and all your healing.
Thank you for your presence
.....in my life.
Tomorrow I will ask you
.....if you'd like to be my wife.
Tomorrow I will ask you
.....if you'd like to be my wife.

A Proposal

A PROPOSAL

I don't suffer fools much-
don't think its cool to be stupid.
I've put in the things I desire-
I'll leave the results to Cupid.

It's the intellect effect
that gets my full attention.
Yes! You've maybe got the body
but you don't seem to have
.....the brains.
.....Brains are sexy.

It's the intellect effect
gets my attention every time.
.....Brains or brawn?
.....Brains or brawn?
Do I smile or do I yawn?
When your lover is
reading a good book
you don't know that you're born.
You don't know that you're born.
It's the intellect effect-
I'll always give it a look,
it gets my attention every time.

It's not a crime to have a type,
to favour honesty over hype.
Honestly, I prefer a studious guy,
someone great at conversation.
A man invested in his education.
It's why I don't drink in a crowd.
Why should I cloud my thinking?
I think I might be falling in love.

My guy has just turned thirty-
lectures at the local university.
He doesn't need a map of my body.
He's not constantly on his phone.
I don't feel used. I get to choose
what we do with our time alone.
We seem to have created
a sophisticated world of our own.
I think I might have fallen in love.

[He's thirty. Thirty!
My cup of tea.
Dark hair and a tan.
Degrees in the Arts.
A stranger to these parts.
He's my kind of a man.]

What If

WHAT IF

There is something I am eager to mention-
something that requires our
immediate attention.
We've been quite conventional-
five days ago all that changed.
I feel I've been hit by fate
or something equally strange.
I really hate the unexplained.

You've stopped taking my calls-
all my emails fall on deaf ears.
What's with all the tears on
social media?
Please give me some idea of
where you are.
Oh! Why have you disappeared?
It's pretty weird for anyone
to vanish off the face of the Earth.
Everything of worth to you is here,
and I'm hoping that includes me.
I'm hoping I'm worth you staying alive for.
I might be hopelessly hoping stupidly wishing for the best.

[There is nothing better
than re-reading your letters.
There is nothing better
than hugging your sweaters.]

Thank you for listening to my music! This artist is part of the Summer Haven universe and not a real individual.

The artworks and characters are my own creations, the lyrics are written by me, and each song is crafted from my creative vision. Technology plays a key role in the creative process, helping me bring my music to life. I hope this song resonates with you as much as it does with me. 

Follow me to dive into the stories behind the songs and explore the magic of Summer Haven – where every melody, every lyric and every moment is part of a bigger story waiting to be told.

Verse 1
Feel the weight you carry, I can see it clear,
Every step you're taking, I’m walking near.
In this quiet moment, let the walls come down,
We don’t need to speak, the truth’s already found.

Pre-Chorus
It’s in the way the world slows,
In the spaces the heart shows.
A connection deeper than we’ve ever known.

Chorus
Empathy, it’s the language of the soul,
It’s the thread that makes us whole.
A bridge across the silence, setting hearts free,
Empathy... oh, empathy.

Verse 2
Every scar you’re hiding tells a story too,
Every laugh, every tear, I can feel it through.
We’re all searching for someone to understand,
A touch, a look, a gentle hand.

Pre-Chorus
It’s in the way the world slows,
In the spaces the heart shows.
A connection deeper than we’ve ever known.

Chorus
Empathy, it’s the language of the soul,
It’s the thread that makes us whole.
A bridge across the silence, setting hearts free,
Empathy... oh, empathy.

Bridge
Close your eyes, let the rhythm heal,
Breathe it in, let it make you feel.
We’re more than alone, we’re a symphony,
A harmony born in empathy.

Outro
Empathy, it’s the rhythm of our hearts,
The place where every healing starts.
No need for words, just let it be,
Empathy... oh, empathy.

Empathy
