Whispers from the stream,
Trees gently caress and guide,
Air and life to me.

Hills rolling like waves,
The air leaps through me, its voice
Calls and shows us free

Cherished friend, when we
meet, intertwine, suddenly,
like river and sea

Seasoned sun, my heart
Breaks to see you go, I can
Not stop chasing you

We are always moving
Towards and away from places
Towards and away from people.

Sometimes we don’t have much control
Over where we live
Or who we can love.

And now I have to find a new place to live
And a new person to love
And I’m not sure my heart can take any more

But as I look around and deep inside
And although it hurts
And sometimes I cry

I am happy to have somewhere to miss
And someone to have loved
Rather than having nowhere and no one at all.

Happiness
Is not a competition
Neither is Life
So easy it is
To compare
The more we do
The sadder we become

But that should not stop us
From trying to find our happiness

Let us run
Our own happy little races

People always say they are going to be better
We’re going to make them regret it
We were the ones who were right
And that our lives will be better without them

But the pain is paralyzing
We don’t get up
We don’t do the things we told ourselves we would do
We bathe in our sadness

In the dark, illuminated by a screen
We watch them live a life that we don’t want to admit
Is better than the life we gave them and better than the one we currently live

I told myself I’d be better
I told myself I’d have fun
I wanted to show her what she was missing out on
That she was in the wrong

But as I cope by swiping on a screen
Drawing out the pain with meaninglessness and failing
I have to admit
She got the better end of the deal
I needed her more than she needed me
