I'm sorry, I can't tell you when
Our country will be on again
But, please take heed that until then
You've got a place in line

Our operators in DC
Voted in by you and me
Have lost their ablility to see
They're paid, and that is fine

Our veterans who went and fought
Whose loyalties can not be bought
They learned lessons that can't be taught
But now, they stand in line

To use the lands that they kept free
In the name of Liberty
A Government for you and me
Closed by choice...a choice not yours or mine.

I have yet to say that word to you
I am cautious
because last time I said those words
they were not true
and you are too perfect
for that perfect line
to be untrue
But
I love you
I love the way your eyes are like the colors blue and green are fighting for the spotlight
I love the way those eyes look at me and give me comfort
yet have the ablility to light a fire inside me that roars uncontrollably and refuses to go out
I love the way your lips move on my body in ways of innocence and passion
I love the way those lips speak words to me that lift me up or make me melt
I love your body and the way mine can fall into the rythm of yours
I love that you love something much greater than yourself
I love your mind because it is so wildly beautiful
Lastly
I love how our souls run together
and when I'm with you I feel whole

Why did you give birth to me?
I asked my father
"To give you the abilitiy of dreaming .."
He replied.

Then he left me ..
And I only have dreams.
