Today I discovered a band that has been forgotten, I think.
They tell stories without speaking, letting instruments
Convey emotion, and you know, there is some
Chemical reaction within my brain
(Or maybe it's just coincidence)
Some neural message carrying memories inside it like a postman
Delivering that savory deliverance
Of past loves and present friends
Of this thawing March
Of this past Winter
It was bitter cold, kind of like how you hung up on me,
Kind of like how he cut me off,
Kind of like how I wish I was,
But know I never can be
I'm too warm
I drink in that sunshine like it's the smoothest whiskey ever created
It radiates through me from the inside-out and makes me smile
When it beams upon my skin, there is no better feeling
Because your lips were soft, but not the softest
And his arms were strong, but not strongest
Old friends, they were good and fun, but they will never be the best
I crave that dry, warm air and those blue, blue skies
Blue kind of like his eyes, the one who is now
And who knows where it will go
But I'm along for the ride
This life is all about loving and learning and letting go
I love every fiber of it, I soak it all in and I hope
Those whom I have met can do the same
Because there is so much to love
So much to be thankful for
