I dare you to move like today never happened before

She's got a heart like a kite, floating away all the time Oh I'm holding on for dear life, but she's got a heart like a kite

I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door--   I'm in love and always will be

bittersweet flames across crimson petals, in conflict only, the hurricane settles. disparity to meet in parallels, similarity to thrive in passion - i throw myself to the tempest, you drive me to the flames, and now may our love be endless, as you’re forever in my veins.

With a swerve, my eyes avert My mouth somehow forgets to work So I stare until you shout Wondering why you can't figure me out With a change, recall the names I'm spitting out words, hoping it works Still I stare while they all shout Why can't I even figure it out?

It’s just like a ladyship knowing they’ll never die Awoken by dreams scattered across her bed The filtered excess of thought-in-motion revealing All that remains of memory long faded by waking Even now I cannot divulge what’s left to write In that I may substantiate that lost vision just For you so that it may reveal a conscious moment Too lingering for it to become lost along the day This urge this uncommon urge to want to know Seeking deep access to what I cannot see inside A realm all too real for interpretation of words Yet catching all cataclysm of doubts lingering Longer than my mind can unhide before they’re Gone into the fray of a day’s motions in art form Those unknown, unfettered bastions of grace Lifting me up propping me against the wall of dreams Returning me to you.

You’re the best kind of day A quiet sunrise with warm tea A long walk energizing me Salt and sand in my hair Deep exhales of salted air

I wanted to gift you the moon and stars, but it turned out they were not mine to give. Instead, I have these small hands, this weak heart: and they are yours for as long as you live.

Though we’re miles apart I can still feel The warmth of your skin And the beat of your heart

I watch over the house when you sleep. I watch the dogs, the cat. Do they need anything? I watch the evening crumble into pieces of sleep. I watch over you. Are you watching over me?
