elbows deep in flour,

always indecisive

but you know this.

everyone always loves it

don't they?

strawberry, lemon, apple, blueberry . .

a list 36 miles far.

the evening sky is painted,

violets, golds, pinks, and blues . .

i'm crumbling while i'm strong.

cranberry, raspberry, kiwi, fig . .

a walk 21 miles near.

i am deep

i am loved

i can show you i can bite..

you are there

i am here

one of us is always in the wrong place.

the sky looks as if all the stars exploded,

spectacular yet dangerous..

how could we forget? . . .

let me show you i can love
the deepest darkest
parts of you..

shirtsleeves stained with paint,

the kind He uses for the sky..

if i said i hated you, i'd be caught in a lie.

you know i can't, how could i ever?

when all we did was love until we hurt
and all that was left was
to hurt each others hearts..

we didn't have to, love we never had to..

did you?
did i?
did we?

i can show you i can love you hard,

with everything i have in me.

my bones, my mind, my heart, my soul

take it all or leave it all..

there is no in between, my heart

you can't say no but want part of me . .

we're all or nothing
show me how..

i'll squeeze your hand
so tight..

just don't let go so easily..

i left you so you'd be happy

but you seem more upset to me..

i have so much regret in me

do you feel it too, honey? . .

i couldn't love you better
because that was what i had

at the time.
but now i've learned some things
and see what now makes sense.

i know now what i didn't then
but could you ever see me the same?

could you ever

i wish i knew what comes to mind
when you hear my name..

do you say it softly
like i do
when i miss you most? . .

the way it rolls off of my tongue
like it's always been there..
waiting for the day
i shout it,
hands reached out
throughout the darkness..

will you grab them when it's
bright outside
or when it's just pitch-black inside?
or will you decide
never to
and let them fall back at my side . .

yellows, greens, blues, and you..

we're back at the beginning.

where you didn't know me
nor i knew you..

i felt i did,
first look
i knew..

is this what our ending looks like
or beginning in disguise..
black funeral or white wedding,
adventure of the new..
