When I wrap you in
the warmth and the
safety  of  my  arms,
I  feel  such   a sweet
sigh  escaping   your
lips from the depths
of   your  soul  as my
lips whisper against
your   naked    skin
    " you're home."

You want my heart
because selflessness
breads   love,   you
want my mind because
conversation   breeds
connection. You want
my soul because energy
breeds an intangible
bond  , and  you want
me because   nothing
can replace the impact
of my presence.

Intimacy is not purely physical.
It's the act of connecting  with
someone  so  deeply,  you  feel
like you can see into their soul.

The sunrise,
        of course doesn't
             care if you
         watch  it or  not.
It will keep on being beautiful,
          even if no one
   bothers  to  look  at  it.

              And she is
         the same. she doesn't
   care  if I watch  her  or  not,
       and she will keep on
being beautiful , even if I  don't
                look at her.

              Be  yourself,
        people  don't  have to  
             like you, and
      you don't have to care
         and understand
     that there are people who
            are always in love
        with  the  sky, no  matter
the weather and  I have found her,
       someone  who  loves
        me  in the  same  way.

But I don't
                    want good
                    and I don't
                    want good
                     enough,  I
                     want  can't
                     sleep, can't
                       breathe
                       without
                     your love
                     and I also
                     want to be
                      your best
                      friend and
                      I will always
                      tell you the
                      truth, and I
                      will often
                      overuse
                    " I love you."

I want you to be to a lover who looks at me like maybe I am magic and someone who is a home and an adventure all at once. You will be a little bit of heaven with a wild side.

Dear music,
Thanks  for   always
clearing   my   head,
healing   my   heart,
and lifting my spirits.

It's  not  the  song  that
makes  you  emotional...
it'­s the people and things
that come to mind when
you hear it.

All it  takes is 1 song  to
      bring back 1000
                       memories.

One song ---
the lyrics, the melody, the mood ---
can take you back
to a moment in time
like nothing else can.

Each memory has a
soundtrack of it's own.

Music is life. That's why
our hearts have beats.

Never underestimate the healing power of listening to your favorite music on full blast while dancing around the house like an idiot.
