The higher
the pedestal,
the bloodier
the fall

I count the steps
when you walk out the door
and each breath I take
leaves me missing you more

Every heart is different
when it comes to a love thats true
For some, the key is friendship,
that keeps it feeling new

Others need a fire,
that burns through the morning light
keeping things exciting
a love that has some fight

It took some time to realize
I couldn't settle for one of two
so my heart sat back and waited
until it found its home with you

Pulling away
doesn't always
involve movement.

She was a New England winter:
Unpredictable,
with bouts of freezing temperatures
whirlwind snowfalls,
aand
fleating moments
of
sunshine.
