Isn’t it funny how some paths just stumble across each other?
Like a rock that is skipped across a river and happens to sink onto a bed of gold,
That’s what it felt like when you entered my life.
Like I had been jumping and skidding across the surface,
And right when I thought I found my footing and who I was,
I sank and saw your glittering light.
And as I sunk closer to your shine, I began to think of your glow all the time.
And your existence was so full of life.
You got to see fish swim by and rocks die.
You got to be beautiful even if the world didn’t see you,
Always glowing bright in the simple fact that you were you.
And finally when I landed on your soft shine,
I felt like everything would be fine,
Even if you would never be mine.

If your wondering where I am and why I have changed, I wondered into the forest and didn’t returnee the same.

The bird sings into the silent night
And puts all the frogs to shame.
The crickets lower their violins
To be able to hear the echo of names.
The names of all the beautiful things
That makes up this little world.
The names of every flower,
Twinkling star,
And little girl.

The bird resonates into the silent night
A solo opera for open ears,
It bleeds its soul into the darkened sky
Only audible for a few to hear.
The creatures wait on baited breath
To listen to its song.
To hear the melancholy tune
Stretch out all night long.

The bird ***** in its little tree
With eyes only half closed,
It sings a sweet soft melody
To nature down below.
It sings of tomorrow’s promises,
Of all the laughter and the joy,
The bird sings us a lullaby
To help our dreams come alive.

I get excited bubbles,
That burst inside me,
Leaving me leaping through the air in glee.
I always felt odd,
Knowing there was never truly a cause,
For this excitement to ignite within me.
Though as I have gotten older,
The less I have cared,
If anyone thought a child of me,
As I skipped blissfully through the air.

Though now you have joined me,
Us two peas in a mutated pod,
Us two ******’s against all the odds,
Us two soul mates bound together by the gods.

You are the ying,
And I am the yang,
Because we look so different
And yet are the same.

So now I have someone else to accompany me,
On my wild excited spree’s
As we skip down the halls,
You and Me.
