One day you will sit here, On these cool leather seats, And you will say my name and laugh. Laugh, the way we laughed to fill the awkward silence after "her" name. Distracting ourselves from the countless "why's" that lead to someone calling Every Sunday. Every Sunday. Every. Sunday. And I guess, you just don't think about these things. Not until the palm of your hand is wrapped around the hand of another. You say my name and laugh. "I" am "her". "She" is me.

Every Sunday
I will hold you in my heart, long after these fleeting moments have ended. Longer still, from when our last words have floated off into the void of wayward dreams and forgotten hopes. And I will hold in me each smile, each stolen glance, each tender moment, every bit of your laughter - So golden and glorious, that when you laughed, the entire world followed suit. And for one moment , she rests. The world on her platform, Stops. And relishes in the splendid sound of your joy.

longer, still.
The funniest thing about endings Is they rarely look like endings They are wrapped in smiles And plastered with words Meant to sting but not burn They wear hope like a jacket Which they leave on the floor after a night you can't remember The thing about endings The key to their masquerade Is the fact That they look like beginnings.

Endings
When I was young When the sky was new And the air was fresh And flick'd with blue And there was me But not yet, you When I was young With many thoughts And many dreams And not yet caught Up in eyes Of the bluest, blue Oh, there was me But not yet, you When I was young And patient, still And love a dream A constant thrill And didn't hurt For hurt was still, A long way from my mind And now there's you And there is me And maybe "us" And maybe "we" Can't commit So far you flee You leave me far behind And now there's me But there's no you There never was So know, it's true That love is fast And love outflew My grasp I could not keep.

"When"
If you have to, just leave. But don't come back, if you do. Let me forget about "we", Let me forget about "you". Don't wrap me around, Your finger so tight. Just leave me to be, Just leave me despite- A hundred sweet memories, Two hundred warm hugs, Three hundred deep kisses, Four thousand and one- The days it will take, Maybe less, prob'ly more... To forget who you are, What we weren't..what we were... Oh, I understand, do what you must do. If you leave, leave me be.... No more "we"... No more "you".

if you leave me.
Little girl, I am so sorry. 14 years old, how could you have known. 21, and I should have known better. And yet here I am, not far, have I flown. Do you see the house, up on the hill? It knew we'd be back, It waited, and still- I swore this time was different. How many times I wish I'd listened. Just variations on a theme! Little girl, I am so sorry. I've led us back into the dark. Back to this place, these familiar woods, filled with the pain we'd worked so hard- to rid ourselves of completely. To start fresh, to start anew. And of all the lies I've ever told, I'm most ashamed I lied to you.

Variations on a theme
I love you. And I'm writing it here, Because I can't write it there. But it doesn't change how I feel. And no matter how hard I've pushed it away, I can't deny, that it's real. As real as I, who am standing here. And you, miles away. In a town enveloped in the thickest snow, In a house engulfed by the shade. I dream of taking you away from there. For us, for you, for me. But these dreams are just the dreams of my dreams, And there's no way they can be. So I'm writing it here, Because I can't write it there. And you may very well, never know. That I love you now, and I'll love you then, and I'll love you wherever I go.

Let me wash over you Like waves unto the shore The foundation of your soul Is pallid and dry Let me fill you deep with color

Wash over you.
Being with you is easy, It’s like f                  a                       ll                            ing asleep. And it's only after I’ve woken up, That I realize I’ve even fallen.

falling
I want to kiss every inch of you until all your pain has melted into deep pools of blue in your eyes that haunt me when I'm sleeping the days away wishing you could have loved me like I loved you wore blue the first time we met. Now, I wear blue all the time.
