We slide on through
The Cubs game traffic
My face is so tired
Luxuriate in a bath
Orange mouth
Hair tosseled and fresh
Today was so very long
And fulfilling.

We burn with might
I worry and read into
Almost everything
But I'm solid at what I do
And though I'm weary
Sleepy
Hopeful
Definitely in need of comfort
I hear of the past and don't even laugh
I'm so glad it's no longer.
And a thought occurred to me today
My God, I hope this one works out.
So do
Jump with me love
We don't have to be a fairytale
Or the Princess Bride
So just, just let's be us.

And as I ride through the night
The driver told me I was the first director
He's ever known
I'm just sometimes so not in the mood to discuss

But I think to myself
As the last few days of some inner self doubt subside
You are so beautiful
You draw people to you
And you've got it.
