You’re smile is enough to lift;
All of this off my shoulders;
I live for these moments; I long for them.
Watching you grow; Watching you become;
Something more; watch you grow to where you belong;
I watch my faith grow in your heart;
I watch the truth glow and I see the start;
Of a beautiful thing; of this relationship

It started with a hello and ends with too much love that does still overflow.
we drove around our city while I had my arm around him.
and the sticky august air glued his skin to his shirt and him to my heart.
our metropolis had a hundred dusty stars above us; beside us; but mostly these stars were within me.
he was unaware of it all. But I, with overflowing courage did tell him.
and when i told him,
I understood that this simple love
cocooning  me;
that glowed
like a hundred suns;
that made him the Sun;
was felt from me to him -
and me
to him
only.

Something about the way his eyes glowed in the pattern on the sun filled the room with an aura of something blue. Sometimes red. Others green or purple. But each time he filled the room. On days that were cold his heart grew warm. Though cheeks red. His hair was brown but white like snow on winter days. He reminded me of winter. Chilling but beautiful. Complex but so simple. Cold but warm inside.

I think I believed in true love for a second
but it was in a land of a dream
a dream that seemed so unreal
that it was true
that you loved me and I loved you

But that land was unreal
in a dream
where life
didn't exist
because
It hadn't stared yet
for it to be real
but the feelings
were

So for that moment
where
our hearts collide
aligned
satisfied
at your side
it was true
but with you
I recall for a moment
you're near
I feel it too
you're dear
but that feeling
-will never go away
for I loved you
and you truly loved me
for that time being
at my side seeing
there was no one else
but you
and me

Even if your ship would be caught in the greatest of storms,
you'll stay in charge unafraid being the helmsman for your crew,
like a good father caring for his children, you shall not let them die.

If you fall - you will not swear,
because your fellowmen will lift you up,
for your heart for everyone and everywhere.

Remember - money is the king of the world,
and friends? - they'll find you in need,
but the small flame of a poor-quality candle
always quickly goes out.

For your birthday some will bring you roses,
have you seen this flower without thorns?
while others - dasies from an oak wood,
adorned with the most innocent dew.

You'll have to choose - love or affection,
and given moment you'd better not confuse
that sometimes it's worth to think about that
what in its essence a flower shall remain.
