I can’t help myself
I’ll love you till I die
Always will and ever will be
In your loving thrall
I have loved you for so very long
We have it all
Arms that love each other
As we fall in love again each day
Yes, we have it all
These loving arms are yours forever
Your loving arms are ever mine
Our loving arms embrace each other
It has come to be
Loving arms for my lover
Loving arms for me

Let’s create a time capsule
To let those that follow us
Know how we lived
I think we must
First we’ll put a picture in it
Taken when we met
On that beach that sunny summer day
From there began our odyssey
That leads us to today
Oh, we had our quarrels
But it all turned out great
You got your new kitchen
So we’ll leave some recipes
On which they’ll love to dine
Then perhaps some music
Songs we’ve come to love
They’re yours and mine
When we cuddled under our blankets
Watching the stars above
It will be clears to them
We shared lots of love
There will be a letter
Commemorating our stay
In this happy home
Where we lived out our days
We’re so very happy
As we hope they will be
If our time capsule is discovered
Underneath the initials
Of you and me

3/19/21

Isn’t it interesting how love comes to stay
You wish for it, can’t find it
Then comes the day
It appears inviting
Enters thriving
Driving each day
You go topsy-turvy
Oh, you’re so thirsty
For more deliciousness
A companion to care for
A reason for living
The future assured
One happy way
You live to love
You love to live
Interesting when love comes to stay

On certain days
When the moon is ripe
A cool breeze brushes my hair
I can’t help but get senti
It can happen anywhere
Senti about the past
Lovers now long gone
Those were the days I tell myself
I’m not wrong
About those true hearts
The ones that got away
Senti, I get senti
But there’s more to say

You see, now I’m with a love
One who’s here to stay
She and I really fit together
We’re all the way
So every day I get senti
She’s so very fine
Life and love both moved on
Everything’s aligned

Senti, I get senti
Each and every day
Sentimental me, I am
Happy yes to say

She looks a lot like her
Big blue eyes
And auburn hair
The perfect size
But she’s not her
And will never be
So I do surmise
The issue is moving on
From what you can’t forget
You take it day by day
Hope for the very best

If you really want to know
I’ll tell it to you straight
I thought we were in love
Until my heart did break
I gave her all I had
And then some even more
I was so very sure
I think I’ve found someone new
But she looks a lot like her

I should be moving forward
Instead of looking back
What can you do when all you do
Is think about the past?
What should be ancient history
Swims inside my head
I’m running from a bad dream
That’s why I hate to go to bed

She looks a lot like her
I guess I’m going to try
There’s only one way out of here
Otherwise I’ll just cry
She looks a lot like her
I guess she always will
But maybe she’s the one for me
With those looks that ****

I wonder what’s she’s doing this weekend
I wonder who she’s with
I wonder if she misses me
I wonder if she’ll kiss someone else
The way she did with me
I wonder if there’s any chance she’ll come back to me
Nope, not gonna think about her anymore
Praying hasn’t done any good
I can’t turn back time
Though surely I would
It’s time to move on
Maybe I could
It’s hard to erase the thought of her
Of us as a couple
Of wishes upon stars
The ones we once made
For dreams to come true
Why did this happen?
I wish I knew
Isolation, my new friend
Along with tears and beers
God how I miss her
I wish she was near

I wonder what’s she’s doing this weekend
I wonder who she’s with
I wonder if she misses me
I wonder if she’ll kiss someone else
The way she did with me
I wonder if there’s any chance she’ll come back to me

My heart is warm again
We’re in a love so fine
That breakup nearly did me in
I cried ‘til I went blind
I’ll spend my life alone, I thought
Sometimes love is so unkind
A mystery unsolved, unresolved
A true romantic crime
Then we met and hit it off
We touched tentatively
Until into each other’s arms we flew
We are meant to be
And so my heart is warm again
Goodbye misery
I have hope and someone I love
And someone who loves me
