You came into my life...
you told me the words I'd heard 100000 times before
The word of Sod from Sunday school when I was 4.
But this time was different
You taught me to pray
and then I saw Jesus in a whole new way
i learned just who I am
I learned to love again
My heart now hears His call
you shaped my soul, healed a broken heart
But now it's been so long, and I miss you all the time
So....thanks!
for giving me new hope
for showing me the love, that I am worthy of,
for giving all my friendships a new meaning.
You're the brother I've never had
thanks for showing me you cared
And even though you're gone now....so far far away
your presence is in my heart will always stay.
You've changed my life.

Always aligning
but never aligned
the stars are in motion
I'm falling behind

For a moment it's perfect
for a second it's right
but then in an instant
i'm here with tonight

I force myself to feel something--
but i'm just a fool
not thinking with my heart
trying to break my own rules

But things are in motion
like a rising tide
the season of changes is among us
and i'm ready for the ride

First
kiss
memories
dancing
love
compassion
desire
parking lots
dark nights
nothing else matters.
only you and me.
right here.
right now.

just
let
it
go
and
revel in the moment

I want you
Just KISS ME!
Where have you been all my life?!?!?!
I'm sorry....can I have a kiss?
Ok, commercial break...let's GO!

But the last kiss

speaks

volumes...

numbness
bitterness
confusion
guilt
no more bliss
no more love
just loss
and hurt
and pain
and tears....

until....


First
kiss...

Stop it
Control it
Speed it up?—no…WAIT--I didn't mean it!!!!

Where did it go?

I lost it

Just to find it again…
In the memories
Sweet, sweet memories
Now its racing
And  winning.
I’m challenging it.
It’s ceaseless
Relentless
Uncontrollable
Undefeated.
But maybe…I won after all….

I’ve always thought he’s cute
Never doubted that for a minute

I’ve always thought he’s nice
Never thought I might want to get it.

I’ve always thought we were acquaintances
Never imagined I might want more

I’ve always thought he couldn’t dance
Never thought I’d join him on the floor

I’ve always wanted something, but never thought from you...

Never thought I’d say this, but maybe I someday think that  you and I could potentially be a “we”
