breaking ice in my mineral water
lime spritzing the air and
dripping down my fingertips
as i twist it and sip its tang
hot sunlight radiating on my
body until the sweat glistens
at even the slightest movement
the rustle of well-worn pages
his sharp Adam's apple
rolls ever so slightly with a swallow
of the sparkling glass
the bubbles, like tiny diamonds
the hiss of the sprinkler next door
and the squealing chortles
of the neighbor kids running in it
chocolate melting on my tongue
chair squeaking when I recline

Happy is as happy does, but
I'm thankful happy's mine.

i would write letters to you
even though you're next to me
talking to you would be amazing
having you to look at me would be breath-taking

i would walk distances for you
even though you may be in the next town ahead
seeing you would be fulfilling
worthy of every footprint i made

i would sing to you
oh, my dear love, i would sing
tell the whole world how much of a lovely person you are
even though glasses will shatter with my untuned pitch

i would do anything for you my dear
to make you smile and laugh when the rain falls down
for i can't live with the image of you being blue
drowning into the depths of the ocean i brought you to
