into my dream if you will --

Being with you makes me feel stupidly in love.
                                  Being with you put a stupid smile on my face.

When you don't show,
                   I feel so stupid,
                                                                        for being so crazy about you!
Too much happiness is not always a good sign.

Hand in hand we sit

together in the garden --


of our affection.
Collection "NightWatch"
our moles align
like stars in the sky.
in this world
it’s just you and i.
‘till death do us part
by your side I will lie.
there is no other soul
with whom i’d rather die.
in this world
it’s just you and i.
my lover forever
my sweet cherry pie.

You touched my soul
The intimate of all intimates
And burned away all the sorrow
As well as the pain and misery.
All emotions that ate away my delight of life
Were replaced with the foundation of you
It was like seeing in colour for the first time
And feeling the wind run its fingers through my whole body
It invaded my whole self
As you enlightened all that I was.
