when i was a child
i knew one thing for certain
adults don't listen
Senryu
Trying to soak you up
forever ingrained in my brain.
Perhaps only for a moment,
But a permanent route.
Distracted as I graze
your solar eclipse eyes,
I'd stare into the sun
to feel that way again.
He rolled up yesterday
Out of nowhere
As always
My old friend and me
Sharing news of families
And where he's living now
With a million memories between us
We laughed about the past
Gossiped about the present
Who's with who these days
Why when and where
Gigs and music
As always
But we never mentioned the future
We rarely do these days

It's inevitable... I'll always find you
I find you in every love song that comes on the radio
And every time I see a sunflower
I find you when snowflakes fall from the sky
And every time I see a Superman logo
I find you when I'm walking through a crowd, and I think I see your face,
And for a moment, my heart is out of my chest
I find you at every 'perfect photo' spot, because I know how thrilled you would be to capture that moment
And I find you in every dream I dream,
Dreams of our future, our life
I will never not find you my love,
I will never not find you
An arrow I do deserve, straight to the heart
I know I do, because first it went through your heart
No sorry will ever be enough....
Maybe not even actions can mend such a wound
But I will try til the last breath in my lungs
