I’ve been staring at this page
thinking of how to write
that intimate scene in my head
the one from my dream

trying to describe the feeling
of his hand laid flat on my stomach
pulling me back against him
being closer than we are used to

his heart beats against my back
the same rhythm as the music
we move together as one
he guides my every step

he leans down next to my ear
his words are just warm breaths
on my neck, there’s no sound
just our bodies together

all of this was a dream
and I’m glad it was
because me and him don’t work
I don’t even want to try

I know this was him
but it wasn’t really him
it was dream him
I’m glad it wasn’t him

the road stretched out in front of me
not quite sure where it will lead
my hair blowing around my face
the horizon and I are in a race

the sun is setting to my right
I could drive all night
I'm escaping all the hurt
as my tires kick up dirt

my music drowns everything out
the lyrics come out as a shout
I'm all alone except for
the gliding hawk that leads me to more

I crave the freedom
of creating my own kingdom
far away from people
find a place that's peaceful

I can't tell if
my heart is racing
because of you...
or because of my
heart condition

you and I are not the same
but I would love to know your name
we live our lives differently
but there's no need for hostility

we may not be alike
but we both deserve paradise
we fight to be treated equally
even though that should be

basic human decency

stay with me forever please
don't ever turn away please
here I am begging you
stay with me
forever

please

quickly
come back to me
why do you turn away
how do I make you return
why must you always leave me

little baby girl or boy
you already bring me so much joy
I can't wait for you to get here
I'm waiting patiently my dear
I'm anxious to see your smile
yet I still have to wait a while
I'm excited to see who you'll be
I hope you're a little like me
my sweet niece or nephew
what will you grow up to do?
I pray that you will be strong
and know that sometimes you will be wrong
understand I'll always be here for you
you can talk to me whenever you want to
I'll give you unconditional love
like the kind you receive from above
right now, you're just a little baby
from now on, I'll love you daily
your mom and dad
are bound to make you mad
just know I'll be here
a phone call away when I'm not near
you can call me Aunt Boo
if that's what you want to do
call me that and I'll do the same
I promise to give you a silly nickname
"oh, the places you'll go"
I'll see you soon mi sobrino
