remind me--
what was ever so romantic about
sunrises, rain, and morning coffee?
remind me how to find meaning
in the monochrome,
paint color into the mundane
and strive for imperfection.
Next to me two young women sit,
In a tongue I do not know
they talk of unseen things

In their eyes I can see their love and in their faces I can feel the joy of sharing

I do not know of what they speak
But it will be tales of boys and love and youthful dreams

From time to time a familiar name is heard, Alessandro, David to name but two and when they speak they laugh and I can feel their joy

Despite not understanding
the language of love
And friendship rings out true

I don't want to be a burden.
I need to keep my mouth shut sometimes.
I don't want to scare anyone.
I need to keep my mouth shut sometimes.
I don't want to lie about it.
I need to keep my mouth shut sometimes.
I don't want to be a problem.
I need to keep my mouth shut sometimes.
I'm Sorry.
I'm sorry that I cause people to worry, be scared, or be burdened by my problems.
