electric

you and i
two halves of the same cosmic force
we'll be grand adventurers
neither dusk nor dawn will stop us

we are solar wind and lightning
forces of nature in and of ourselves
and we cannot be snuffed
we are the end

we are the beginning
the world can't stop us
spark life through my veins
and i'll shine for you

time

your days are for the past
for childhood memories
of adventures by moonlight
the way your eyes sparkled
under our streetlight

those days are for longing
for wishing that you had stayed
that maybe things would be-
but that's just wishful thinking
those days aren't today

i need to stop living in the past

ignite

my body
was made
to keep yours from freezing

come closer
my dear
let me bathe you in warmth

one day
i'll be
too cold to help you

??? i'm tired and not sure where i was going with this

burn.

you tell me
you'd rather leave
than smell the smoke that lingers on my skin

you tell me
that i can't be happy
when all i have is nicotine and halfhearted lies

you tell me
not to play with fire
because i might burn myself to the ground

but what you don't realize
is i am a wildfire
and i want
to burn
((out))

you are..

you are flawless
a diamond in a world of coal
more precious than any rock could be

you are strong
steeled in the face of the flood
more durable than any dam could be

you are beautiful
a meadow of flowers in spring
more lovely than any bouquet could be

you are cherished
far beyond some worldly possession
more important than anything imaginable

you are loved
with all
of my being

jaybird, this one's for you.
