the tree

The tree.
It’s waving at
me.
Calling
me.
Begging
me
to come out. Run away from
Here. This prison, holding me back from my
                         deepest
                                                       ­                      longing.

I hate it Here.

I need to go. I need to run away from
Here.
Run to
Him.
That tree…
I dream of the other tree.
The tree under which we promised with our
lips;
Promised that
Someday,
we will have each other, without having to
  Hide.
                        Wait.
                    ­                     ....Run.
But maybe,
if we want,
we will run anyway.

The tree keeps waving at me.
*It hasn’t given up.
I won't give up.
Perfect.
I was not
insecure, fragile, forgotten.
They said I was
confident, kind, happy.
I was not
my mistakes, my shortcomings.
They'd never forgive
the people who hurt me.
They were my friends.

I just got this crazy idea
Would love to share if I may
Something that's fairly easy and simple
That is sure to brighten up any ole day

It's something you carry with you
At least I hope that you do
Smack dab right there on top of your kisser
Just waiting from you to be let loose

If you haven't figured it out by now
I'm talking about your smile
It has a way of cheering you up
And those you hang around with awhile

The cost is nothing much extra
Just a little change in attitude
And once you use it, it's hard to lose it
As most people give it right back to you

Just a little something special I thought of
That broke me into smile
As I am guessing with sneaky suspicion
That you yourself are doing right now

drive with me all day
I'll listen to what you have to say
make no mistake
I love you all the way

hands upon my knee
touching gently everything
give me reason to give in
softly feel this way again

distracted as I graze
your solar eclipse eyes
I'd stare into the sun
to feel that way again

just be here with me now
forget about the world
seeing things clearer this time
It seems you've reeled me in
