You're A Sweetheart and A Really Brave Bird

My love is vast.

My love is strong.

My love is driven by the thought

of you noticing me one day.

Although I am told that some love never blooms

like flowers struggling during the bitter colds.

I have nothing to offer you.

All I have are my bones.

They hold me up

on days I feel like a bird with broken wings,

but I will always love you with the lights on.

I will care for your wounds

until you're able to fly again.

Until you can reach the moon.

So play your guitar

and sing your songs.

I will admire you from afar

as you carry on.

Don't worry about me.

I'm not trying to come off as a creep

but I love your eyes,

and how they look like dark coffee.

I love the way you speak.

Each word a melody.

Every sentence a song.

I'm caught on your hook.

I could listen all day long.

I'm lost in your music

while you're lost in this madness.

So don't worry my dear,

the flowers will someday bloom.

I shall save these words for you.

I'll read them out to you,

but only once during the blue moon.

 

You're a sweetheart and a really brave bird.

So walk with me to the edge of the earth

and I will share you all my secrets,

and you will share me yours.

We'll tie them both to balloons

and let them go.

Lay with me down on this pearly dew-drop grass.

We'll watch the clouds travel to and fro,

just stay with me in this perfect spot.

You don't have to go.
