Today I watched my cigarette
as it shook between my fingers
as I drew one harsh inhale straight
from the the thing, and could not tell
whether it was for the force
of my breath or that my fingers
were trembling, and I laughed.

Sometimes I think that the wind
might tip me over, swift, with ease,
as my face vibrates, as I melt,
as my hollow space grows and complains.
When I look upon myself,
it is too comical in all;
I tremble as I laugh.

I can't give up
Because for too many years
I've held on
Because despite the differences
In your arms
I smile
My heart beats so hard
I laugh
And I'm nervous
With you I feel understood
Your love supplies this body of mine
I lied dead inside for so long
That this life inhabiting me is
Spectacular
And I don't want you to go
Because though you imagine
A future
I dream of it
Lucid never ending dreams
And I want desperately
For them to be our reality
The world can never understand us
But we understand each other
I love you
And that fact has remained
I never gave up
I just buried it all
But I already dug up the memories
Brought back joyful ones for us to share
I can't expect this to be forever
But I can dream.

My heart is as big as a tidal wave
And my love is as strong as an iron gate
I can walk on two feet, I can walk straight
Don’t try to bend the rules, the rules you are breaking
I will be here waiting, for you I am praying
Don’t turn around too quickly, the ground it is shifting
I am tall, as tall as an old oak tree
And I cannot fall, the earth is beneath me
Hurry figure this out, life passes quickly
I will remain here planted in shadows
Don’t try to fight it, just let it engulf you
I am warm, as warm as the midday sun
Brighten the boring day you are having
I will remain, unchanged and steady
And you, you will always be lovely

With a flower.
With a hug.
With the simple words of love.
Written by a pen.

There are other ways to show your love.
Other ways to show your heart.

With a kiss.
With your eyes.
With simple surprises.
That she recognizes.

There are many ways to show your heart.
Other ways to show your love.

With a sweet smile.
With a  nice touch.
Delivering more then you could imagine.

There are many ways to show love.

I wasn’t always sure about you
I had my doubts and fears
I wasn’t always certain
That you would really be there
When I needed a friend
More than anything else
I’ve learned, though
That you are someone special
Someone rare and essential
To my heart’s quest for love
Love that survives and thrives
Overcomes the worst of times
Continues to grow and prosper
Long after struggles and worries
You are someone I can trust
Someone who understands my thoughts
Someone who cares and shares
Someone who knows me
Like no one else can
You are someone I can believe in
Someone rare and aware of my heart
Someone who accepts me as I am
Without conditions or limits
You love without bounds
You are the person I turn to
When I need a real friend
Someone who I can be myself with
Without fear or anxiety
Without hiding my heart away
Without even a hint of doubt
I love you and am so thankful
To have a friend who I believe in
Thank you, once again
For being that friend
