I dreamt of you, of us, of me.
I dreamt of what we used to be,
Of late night talks and photographs,
Of stories that once made you laugh
Or sigh or even cry.
Before you said I lived a lie
Before the bridge we knew was burned
And from my side you quickly turned.
I dreamt of peace after this war
Not being what we were before
But being something new and free
A friendship of new capacity.
The past is gone, it did not last.
Those shadows are already cast.
We cannot change whats happened now;
But we can start anew, somehow.

I want to touch the Earth to my bare skin
To take the open air within
Show these folks the open plains
To dance under the soaking rain
Adventure waits within my heart
Right now is just the time to start
To see the world from end to end
Slow its spin and then pretend
Home doesn't exist for me
Even now its a memory
Rather than a place or time
Every moment cherished, new
Another day, another try
Never giving in to my fears
Doubts
Never living without
Our hopes and dreams
Winning the world with our hope filled cries

I love you
not as the sun loves the earth, just one piece at a time
not as the plants love their flowers that bloom only to fall away
not as a beverage that slowly is emptied from its glass through the night
or ice cream that leaves its containment or melts away
I love you
not as the sun loves the day but may be eclipsed
or the moon loves the night but must take time away
not even as the clouds love their rain
or children love snow
I love you
as a foundation loves the Earth
I love you
as a foundation loves its four walls
I love you
with a love that would have to be pried from my heart and soul to stop
and even then it wouldn’t stop just be ever so painful yet still complete
I love you
as an addict loves their addiction
without you I would be painfully writhing on the floor
hoping for another moment with you
just one more chance
I love you
as completely as this human heart allows
I will not leave you
I will not hurt you
I will not lie to you
I will not allow you to be without a friend
I will only love you
I will only be there for you, always
I love you
thats all I know how to do
