It has always been
distance and time


I could make you happy
Make you smile

If you weren't so far away

My love is real
I am real
but all
you
know
is
distance


The next time
Will be far
from now

We will be older
And my lips
will have yearned
And bones have mourned
And eyes have wrinkled

But my love
is real
I am real
And all
we will have
was that
time

The air is moist
The clouds outpour
Our California rain
has commenced once more
Each water drop
on its way down course
The sweet, fresh scent fills the air
With plants and ponds
The gifts are endorsed
While children play without a care
This February weather I do adore.

Mid-month we all gather by pair
The feel of love fills the air
And all of Eros views from above
Sighting out certain people in mind
With a shot of his arrow they fall in love
Then celebrate the day of St. Valentine
A day like that I find so rare.

My eyes are moving up and to the right
I've been awake all day and all night
Caffeine is the enemy, but it's my only friend
I'm hyper to the point which it cannot extend
My fingers in a frenzy, my wrists i cannot calm
I have a river rapid flowing from the sweat on my palm
My legs are always shaking, my attention span is short
I need my coffee strong by the cup, ***, or quart
The time is going swiftly, the day is setting in
Just the perfect time for me to begin
I drink my the morning coffee every ten past the hour
I have to redo all my plans- leave, get dressed, then shower
The sun setting slowly, the moon is rising fast
I wonder how long without sleep i can last
The trouble with insomnia is the length that it'll take
I'm not really sleeping, but I'm not really awake 

There we laid in bed
Face to face
Bodies connected
Our hands in a constant motion
Sending affection
through our fingertips

Like hands feeling the rushing waters
of a river for the first time.
My head was cradled by your arm,
reminding me that I was safe.

I looked into your eyes.
I looked into your soul.
I'll never let go of that moment.
I felt at home in your presence...

Close eyes
open heart
breathe
get through this
breathe
open eyes

...I'm chasing shadows thinking they are you
I'm doing double takes in town
I'm Listing off the reasons
But the days are getting stale
And nights are extra cold
I'm here with a memory
Of what is was like to
love life
With you

I always thought I'd grow old
With you
And now I'm told it's untrue
With you

So I'm jumping through hoops
And Washing away the thoughts
Of you
And nothing seems to break this
So I'm just
Running in circles
Chasing the darkness
Trying to find my way
Oh I never thought it'd be like this
Living in a memory of what it was
With you

I always thought I'd grow old
With you
And now I know it was untrue
With you
