spinning spinning spinning
gently holding my hand
spinning spinning spinning
feet never touching land
dancing dancing dancing
glimpses of smiling eyes
dancing dancing dancing
joyful laughter like a sunrise

suddenly we stop
beside me he drops
and places his arm around me
naturally i rest
against his chest
as the world fades away we’re free

sweet
graceful
and altogether
lovely

our first dance

but he’ll never know it happened
he’ll never share the memory
for it was only a dream

for almost two and a half hours
we talked
mostly he talked
and i listened
but i could listen
to him all day
and never be bored
i could listen
to his stories
with undivided attention.

school
soccer
coffee
family
friends
childhood
church
­funerals
weddings
honeymoon
adoption
orphanages
relationships
hea­ven

maybe some day
you’ll discover my secret
maybe some day
you’ll smile in agreement;

until some day
i’ll be patiently waiting.

i guess i thought things
would be different this time,
i guess my heart cares
too much,
i guess i had too much
hope,
you see
i wasn’t expecting to
fall for you,
i doubt you thought twice about
me,
because you have so many friends
so why would you need
me,
but clearly i’m a fool
i fell too hard
i fell too fast
and the truth is too hard to
grasp,
and the truth doesn’t make any
sense.
so where do i go from here
let go
move on
but i don’t wanna lose
our friendship
oh please don’t end
our friendship.

nearly four weeks have passed,
i can barely
contain my excitement, but
how will you respond
once you finally
lay eyes upon me and
approach with your blue eyes,
smiling on the inside

just a normal day when my heart lept straight
out of my chest like
never before as every breath
escaped my lips at the
sight of you again

wondering how one person can cause
all these unexplainable emotions that
linger uncontrollably; and when your
kind genuine smile met mine,
every worry faded away knowing you
remembered me

si te escribí un poema en español
entonces no lo entenderías
no entiendes mis palabras
pero está bien
porque eres más que un amigo
y no quiero perder nuestro amistad
esperaré
esperaré para
tu ojos azules para encontrar mis ojos verdes
tu brazos para abrazarme
tu mundo chocar con mi mundo
esperaré
vivir esta vida contigo

today
it’s winter
time to enjoy
the irony of winter

least favorited
longest season
shortest days

many times gloomy, dark, depressing
somehow manages to glisten, sparkle, shine

coldest yet it’s
coziest
dangerous yet it’s
peaceful
colorless yet it’s
magical

choose not to
complain and wish it away

choose to
live in the present and enjoy it while it’s here

because
summer will come soon enough

for now
it’s winter
time to enjoy
the irony of winter
