Comfortability as soothing as it sounds causes you to slip
The more relaxed you get you start to loosen your grip
Stay on the grind and ideas never stop flowing through your mind
But if you steadily dread the fast paced haste
Then your dreams,
Just like the others before you,
Will all go to waste

Lying on my back and looking up at the stars reminds me of you
And the night we made our own sky
By jumping up to the ceiling and sticking glow in the darks with glue
I knew you had a man,
That's why making you forget him was part of my plan
To get you comfortable I crack a few jokes
Lay you out over and easy like an egg and its yoke
My brain is scrambled,
We talk all through the night,
I digress,
I ramble,
Situation managed,
handled
I thought I had you like silly putty in my hands,
But you turned out to be more like sand and slipped right through
We kissed for the first time that fateful night,
Summer,
I was hooked,
I read you like a book,
A page turner
After a few days we shared the same bed
After a few weeks we were always in the same bed
I went about it uninsistent,
Just adamantly persistent
You went against your natural ambition
Threw caution into the wind and used your bodies intuition
Honestly, I was smitten about your other yellow fellow,
The second man in the act,
Blocking my chance at love like tic tac
XOXOX in the game no one won
Now we just have the memory of hugs and kisses,
Dreams and wishes
It was a big ocean,
But I didn't want any of the other fishes

Waiting
Waiting is what I do
I bide my time patiently all for you
My pockets are low on this three hour drive,
Hands at ten and two,
As I head north on interstate 35 to you
Hello goodbye Denton, not my stop
I reach Ardmore, plot and tie my tie in a knot to the top
Flustered's how I feel,
Hands perspire as I grip the wheel
The closer I get to you the faster the blood pumps through
Davis came quicker than I thought it would
Not much longer til' I'm in your 405 neck of the woods
Knots in my stomach as Norman gets near
I see you, I'm here,
I smile ear to ear

I'm glad to say true love never fades away
Immortal butterflies perpetually flap after you've gone away until I decay
Dormant I lay awaiting for your arrival each new day
Nothings gonna change my world,
The words hit
My vehement heart rest where you left it
The sun rises and the sun sets
Moons come and go but I'll never forfeit
For if our love is really true,
Then this same feeling is inside of you

Manual labor isn't for me
So I freed myself from the farms drudgery
I'm a classical scholar and a fine linguist
Emancipate yourself from being the definition of living breathing machinist
You can get free if you want to
All you have to do is use your mind,
Pay your dues,
Expand your intellect,
Earn respect
I wasn't born to assemble on a factory line,
Lotta yellow boys never put that to mind
Never will
Never dared to dream
So they perspire as another part of the machine

Underneath the pecan tree is where I'll be,
Waiting for you to come back to me
Until then the roots will cradle me tenderly
And I will bide my time patiently
The branches will envelope me as I dream of you pensively
The leaves will talk to me as I think of you ardently
The tree engulfs me the more you're not a part of me,
And I allow it
If you don't come the tree and I will become one

My fathers health will be the death of me
Because the day he goes I'll lose a part of me
No more valuable lessons to be taught
No more gritting my teeth and cursing his name for unmemorable reasons to why we fought
When he dies I will truly be alone but he will live on for I am his clone
Simple living is a ***** but we do it well
Father and son team
Bunk mates
Sharing the same cells
You lived fast and hard
If I live faster and harder than you
Maybe my time will run out the same as you
