She Knew.

I aim for emotional peaks and highs.
It's all I need from you.
Just stroke my hair and hold me close to you.
If you're afraid to lose me then don't.
I told once and twice I want you.
But don't insult my love with a weaker version.
Match me stride for stride and embrace growth.
We've been through highs and lows.
These valleys are becoming home.
I want to let everything go.
Maybe just accept the care and good sex for now.
But it's just enough until I feel another blow.
My heart is raw and my mind doesn't know where to go.
I'm starting to feel like I'm not yours anymore.

High places.

Static electric.
The city lights glow and you feel at home.
How ironic since it's the last place you'd want to go.
You say you're here and I feel alone.
Guess all my baggage is keeping us from reaching each other.
This tainted love is trying to grow but I can barely muster the energy these days.
I watch the earth move around me and I'm terrified.
I don't wanna get left behind.
Take my heart but please don't hurt my pride.
Watch me spiral but you can't catch me.
I can't walk away because I love you.
But this slight unhappiness is growing you see.
Just wanted you near me with love in your eyes and that sweet smile.
Give it a chance.
Let the time you need go by.
Maybe the more we're apart the more we'll grow.
Maybe everything I need will never cross your mind though.

Cruise ships and Merlot.

Clouds of love float through my head.
Yes I miss you.
I give you these words as they beat from my heart.

Such a great thing it can be when you're walking in the presence of love.
I hope it takes you higher than the stars.
I hope it's worth more than diamonds and rose gold.
Something you want to share with the world, but keep all to yourself.

Lose yourself just a bit more.
Trust her with your soul.
She came from a dark place to be here with you today.
Maybe it's easy to love you, but you don't always see the storm she's up against.

The only way to lose her is to herself you know.
But she chose you.
And it's that simple; her devotion.

I've never met anyone that seemed made for me.
Then there was you.
All the imperfections and things to dance through.
All the whimsical moments my heart desires I want them with you.
All the laughs and tears never felt so real.

Why does everything we do seem so meaningful?
It's all so beautiful.
I mean we can have it all.

Maybe her story had been painted by different artist and that's why it doesn't always make sense.
Yet she knew right from wrong.
She knew how to love and to be considerate.
She knew passion and desire.

But, teach her loyalty and devotion.
Teach her appreciation.
Teach her a love that keeps her safe at night.
Remember to always hold her when life is tough.
To always love her every day for the rest of your life if that's what feels right.
That's what her heart beats for.
It beats for.

That Feeling is Like.

It was cold and I needed warmth.
It was you that I wanted most.
Selfish me just wanting that smile in my life.
You had never met a woman like me.
An actual hurricane, but you weren't so afraid of rain.
She took you by the hand and made you feel her love.
And everything else fell away.

Lord knew this day would soon be here.
We can't always get it right, but sooner or later we get what we ask for.
Oh how I love you.
I just want to know you inside and out.

I watch as your love grows and your thoughts branch out.
How I wish to feel your soul.
In another lifetime maybe we were like the star and the skies.
Like strawberries and the fields.

You hold me in a warm embrace and I feel at home.
I hope you never feel pain.
I hope your story is on the right page.
I hope your happily ever after includes our love as the greatest.

He's Mine.

You stepped into my life with strength.
Making your presence known.
Creating a love that will only grow.
Now I start to imagine a family.
Dark curls and smiling faces calling you daddy.
The funny thing is young love goes uncertain for some time.
It sits on my heart pacing back and forth.
Back and forth.
A metamorphosis takes place.
I watch myself rise and grow, falling and dying here and there.
Thanks for believing.
Thanks for always being there.
I've never been so comfortable.
Yesterday's troubles are truly a thing of the past.
My worries with him aren't my worries with you is what I'm starting to learn.

Rewind.

I still think of you every time I drink.
I never got to mourn the us that never was.
I hear your voice.
All your opinions.
And your strength.
I was always protected.
I look around to see that I lost you.
No one is there.
I feel relieved.
You were never mine to begin with.
I always asked why couldn't we just be.
Never did I let anything discourage me from having those feelings.
Ever great story must end with clarity.
Or maybe it was all a dream.

The Truth Is.

Think hard.
Look back to a time you were truly happy. A time where you didn't question where your heart was.
When making love was just for the sake of creating something.
When all the sweet sounds came from your mouth.
Oh I can't forsake such a feeling you give me.
The truth is I love you.
I look into your eyes and see a strength.
I have simplicity with you if I want it.
I can see today, tomorrow, and a year from now.
I am rediscovering the meaning of monogamy.
Regaining pride in my ways of loyalty and endearment.
It's okay to love you.
And I know that now.
