I miss the sound of your voice,
And how you used to sleep our time away.
I miss not having a choice,
And I reminisce on the days that I didn’t have a say.
I fondly look back on your time with me,
And I thank you for all you’ve done.
It’s such a shame that I can finally see
That it’s not my fault that you took off on a run.
I miss your blue judgmental eyes,
And I miss crying myself to sleep,
Because I’d go to my room and realize
That I was in far too deep.
But you called yourself dad, and that’s what you are.
We don’t just share DNA.
We share such a bond, like when you almost crashed the car,
And I’ve loved you more and more since that day.

It’s four in the morning, and I can’t sleep.
I’m tossing and turning in the ocean so deep.
And before I know it, the sun begins to rise
Over the horizon, blinding my eyes.
Time to wake up and start the day,
And finish my work so I can play.
I’ll drink my *** and I’ll do my dance
On the deck of this ship on this vast expanse.
But a storm’s-a-brewin’, and now it’s getting late,
So I’ll save all my work for a later date
And I’ll die in this storm with a smile on my face,
Dancing my way out of this nautical rat race.

When I look into your eyes,
I forget all of the bad things;
The cigarette that burns
Between my fingers
And the embrace that never
Quite reached me in my youth.
I forget who everyone wants me to be,
And I remember who I am
Because that is who you want me to be.

When I look into your eyes,
I remember all of the good things;
The butterflies in my stomach
And the lyrics that resonate in my skull.
Lying next to you, I know
That the sun will shine once more,
And when I wake up next to you,
I will kiss your lips
And look into your eyes
And forget and remember it all once again.

I slowly drift to sleep,
Lulled by the steady beat
Of your heart,
As your calloused hands
Graze my back,
Soothing my aching muscles.
The fleeting feeling;
The simple sensation
Of your skin on mine.

When my name rolls off your tongue,
It steals the air from my lungs.
When I hear that sweet, sweet sound,
I know I want to keep you around.

I want you by my side
For the longest time.
I want to go with you for the ride,
Cause your hand fits perfectly in mine.

Your voice is a symphony
And it makes my heart sing.
Even when we’re worlds apart,
I can still feel your beating heart.

I want you by my side
For the longest time.
I want to go with you for the ride,
Cause your hand fits perfectly in mine.

You’ve swept me off my feet,
Cause darlin’ you’re so sweet.
And I hope that you agree
That you’re right where you belong with me.

I want you by my side
For the longest time.
I want to go with you for the ride,
Cause your hand fits perfectly in mine.

I remember
The first time
When our lips
Met at last,
And we were one.
The light shone
Through you.
And your eyes;
They were different;
Gentle; Unlike the rest.
My hands traced
Your rugged terrain,
Leaving my own marks
As jagged canyons,
And still, the light shone.

You are solid and strong.
You are a rock;
Even more, you are the earth.
You’ve been with me
On my journey
Since day one.
Our mere existences
Are so intertwined.
You are my oldest friend,
And my biggest support,
Keeping me grounded
When it is fight or flight.
You’ve seen my at my worst,
And made the winter frost fade
To see me smile.
It is to you that
I owe everything.
You are my rock;
You are my best friend.
