Heaven

in heaven saturday morning cartoons play every day

in heaven the cats make happy sounds and sleep in the sun

in heaven we order chinese food and play mario on the couch

in heaven the dogs run and play with eachother

and so do we

in heaven we sleep in a big bed together

we eat sugar cinnamon butter rice

we still have to do dishes and laundry in heaven,

but theres always clean warm clothes and tasty warm meals

in heaven the halloween decorations stay up all year

and stuffed animals decorate every room

in heaven we still cry sometimes but we laugh more

so really heaven is right here and now

and i hope when i die i can live in these moments again forever

because my heaven is on the couch with you

The Sun Came Out Today

i woke up today

i could hear the birds singing

there were trees and plants

the sun was shining

the dogs were playing

i could breath and dance and sing

i put on a pretty dress

i could feel the wind

i woke up today

the sun was still there

the trees, the dogs, the birds, the little bugs

the world hasnt died after all

its still here

im still here

Not Going Anywhere

i say i love you because thats all there really is to say

i cant put my feelings for you into an articulate sentence

i love you doesnt even really say enough

and thats why i kiss you

kiss you kiss you

but youll never know how far my love really runs

because nobody has made a word for it yet

i dont know if it can be described in one word

or even many

my love for you is a phenomenon

yet i fear its just the same as everyone elses

i want it to be secret and special and mine

but at the same time

when i feel your love, my heart breaks for those who dont know the feeling

its a scary beautiful thing

like space or the ocean

and all at once its the coziest thing youve ever felt

heaven, home, warm, being held at last

is it all just chemicals?

does all the love come from me and it really has not much to do with you?

it cant be true

i know that we might not be perfect for one another

maybe nothing ever is

but isnt it sweet that you picked me and i picked you and we stay that way

and it feels the world has invisible strings tied to us

pulling us together even when we move apart

never too far

just opposite sides of the couch maybe

we say its fate, it feels like fate

it feels like we got lucky

like it was always bound to be

but its all you and me

your love for me and my love for you

so strong, it feels like a magical hand from the universe turning my heads towards you

and all the funny things the lovers used to say

they come true, for me and you

and ill hold your clothes tight, tight

even though i know your not going anywhere

Did It Hurt?

when did you stop believing in santa?

when did you stop putting out milk and cookies?

when did you start forgetting to open your advent calendar each day until the chocolates kept adding up?

when did you stop listening in for reindeer on the roof?

when did you stop plucking up dandelions to blow wishes on?

when did they just become weeds to you?

when did you stop picking up heads up pennies?

and throwing them in the fountain?

when did you stop wishing on stars?

when did you stop believing in magic?

when did you stop carrying around your favorite stuffed animal with you?

when did you stop sleeping with it?

when did you stop dancing in the rain?

when did you stop checking under the bed for monsters?

when did you stop putting your teeth under your pillow?

when did you stop licking the cookie batter off the spoon?

when did you stop going on the slide at the park?

when did you stop making shapes out of the clouds?

when did you throw away all your dolls?

when did you stop kissing your mom on the face?

when did you stop coloring outside the lines?

when did you start learning to hold your tears back?

when did you stop being a kid?

did it hurt?

when they pulled it out of you?

did you help them?

did you hack it up one day in the toilet after a bad night?

did you hold onto it for dear life?

do you still have it?

maybe in a jar somewhere?

do you ever feel it growing back?

tendons trying to reach eachother and form again?

did it hurt?

when you stopped being a kid?
