Sometimes you are like that stone wedged in the tread of my sole.
Sometimes you are like that fly that keeps coming back.
Sometimes you are like 8.30am Monday morning.
Sometimes you are like the day after, a big night out.

But most of the time you are like summer is to spring,
winter is to autumn.
Most of the time you are like water is to thirst,
the sun to the earth.
Most of the time you are like a leaf is to a tree,
the air I need to breathe
Most of the time you are like stars are to night,
a bird is to flight.
Most of the time you are the one
that makes sometimes so unnecessary.

I want a girl that sings like Norah Jones.
A heavenly voice to recite my favorite poems.
I'd ask for a lullaby every night before bed,
So every note may echo within my sleepy head.
Sweet syllables that spark the most beautiful of dreams.
