You lay next to me
When I play my music
And stare up at me
With those big brown eyes

I pause and take a second
To run my hand down your back
And tell you how much I love you

You get excited
And start kissing me all over
I laugh and fall back
And you curl up next to me again

I gaze at the stars
Bathed in moonlight
The air is crisp
and I'm loving it

My mind starts to wander
Towards my insignificance
How nothing really matters
In the long run

Just as drops of rain
Don't matter
To the daily man
Who's needs are far greater

Then why is it
My love for you
Feels greater than any need
Of any man

I feel the leather plastered to my skin
Strength and power flow through me
My heart is steady
My hands aren't shaking
I'm solid as a rock

My face is hidden
Behind my sense of justice
And I fight
With purpose and drive

Blood doesn't bother me anymore
The warmth is an odd comfort
On these frigid
Romantic nights

Each scar a reminder
Of the journey I started
What seems like eons ago
When I was unmarked and clean

My pages are thin
So many stories left untold
You can't buy me for $2.99
And I don't have a collectors edition

I keep on fighting
The battles that no one else will
They are my mountains to climb
And I'm never coming back down

There are plenty of fish in the sea
That's what they've always told me

Well I've seen those fish
Dark and menacing
Moving through the current
Like a machine
No grace and no style
Their colors bland and murky
Nothing like you

The fish I've been searching for
One of beauty and careful grace
You swim through the deep
Like a ballerinas tear

Each of your scales
A different shade of the sky
From the fires of the set
To the morning blue

There are plenty of fish in the sea
Is what they've always told me
But the only fish for me
Is you
