If I were leave tonight,
write poems for me.
Let your words go out further
than I ever could.
Use them to create
elms with branches that curl
in all directions
so that birds can grab to them
like you grab onto your heart.
But when you do,
squeeze out your thoughts
onto paper to keep in touch.
Don't treat your emotions
like a distant neighbor.

If I were to leave tonight,
make sure to explore.
Find new things
to expand your mind
beyond fence posts
set up by yourself.
Look under ever rock
and read about lies beneath.
Let your surroundings be
your greatest teacher.

If I were to leave tonight,
make sure to find someone
you care about.
Treat her like you've never met
a person such as she
Beauty never touched your eyes
until you met her
She makes oceans
move with lips
and fingertips.
Sail them with her.
And hey,
even write a poem for her.
Let her know you care.

And if  you leave tonight,
I will do the same,

I wish, I might
stars in the darkest night
lying in bed with delight
as they shine so bright

In form of simplest
it seems like fearless
thoughts are limitless
and sky is my witness

Yet, I wonder from afar;
stars are truly bizarre
brightest was the north star
from where you are

Not in fright 'cause
Dreams takes flight
on this night
I wish, I might

The sweetest lie I told myself
The lie was sweet as honey
I told myself I wasn't in love
Although I am going crazy
You are always in my mind
You are there all the time
Although I'm afraid to admit
I can't sleep nor could I eat
I only think about you
That is all I could do
My greatest fear that I know
Is that I'm afraid to be alone
But the worst thing than being alone
Is watching you leave outside my door
With somebody by your side
The moment when you left mine

i want to
tuck songs
behind your
ear like loose
hair because
it's the only
way i can
tell you
how i
feel.

I stopped listening to love songs because I want so much more than words strung together by empty promises.
~~
Don't get me wrong, darling
Because that's exactly, I do not know how to say
However, what goes out of the home
Rivers, Mountains, Sea
Or beyond the horizon, Any call

You don't make a mistake
I'll be back to whom
So, for a moment, don't misunderstand me
That exotic flute, distant Kans grasses
Even from far away:
From the seashore, I have heard the echoes of another time

So don't misunderstand me, darling
They have relationships with, and you are like me
They are not devoid of love
I give you, borrow from them

For a moment, don't misunderstand me
I bring your pearl beneath the sea,
From the mountains the ancient forms,
The original earthy flavour,
A chunk of drifted white clouds from the autumn sky as a little boat

So, you don't misunderstand me
Where 'll I come back
Where 'll sing their song
Where to lose my soul,
Or will not come
