A Trip Around the Sun

Each night that I hold you in my arms
When the world falls silent
And the wind grows warm
In the still of the night
There isn't a soul awake
All eyes are closed, even yours, but not mine
No, mine are fixed on you
On your perfect skin
The rise and fall of your chest as you're breathing
My heart has never felt such peace
As when you're laying next to me
When your eyelids drift slowly closed
Like falling leaves
The way your eyes open in the morning
Like a sweet sunrise
Have changed the way I look at life
I wear this calmness like a heavy coat
A soothing weight
Like your hand in my hand
Like your body pressed to mine
Like it was always meant to be there
Two hearts in rhythm, neither scared
To melt into the other
To want, to dream, to be tethered
To an uncertain yet exciting future
Never knowing but always sure
That you were meant for me and I for you
That our love is pure and true
And I promise you will always know
Without a shadow of a doubt
That you are my favorite person
Who I adore and care about so fiercely
The moon and all its stars could not shine as bright as you
For you are the sun
And all must orbit around you
You shine too bright to be shrouded in night
And I will uphold the best of you for the rest of my days
And I will love you always

All my life.

I could write a million words I could bring the ink To this paper I could type until my fingers bleed But nothing will say what you mean to me And I have written about other girls Before But none have stirred my soul like you do None have made me want to dance And sing And play like a child And recklessly desperately try so hard to be near you I can hear you in my dreams Telling me you want me Whispering Humming In my ear A thousand times I've dreamt of what it would be like To be yours I've let hours waste away Thinking about your hands in my hair Twisting curls around your fingers Getting lost in the oceans in my eyes The music in your voice is a reprise I could listen to all my life.

"Big Skinny"

You stole my heart with a smile, and you broke it with a trigger pull You seemed so put together, but you really had your hands full Never feeling good enough, never living up to expectations You thought that you were failing, when all you needed was some patience And I wish that I had had that talk with you, where we share our secrets Instead of them weighing down on you, you could trust me to keep it You ask me where my scars are from, and I ask you why you want to leave Why you’re tired of being here with us, why your heart is on your sleeve You gave so much to us and maybe you took too much from yourself You, ever longing to fulfill a purpose greater than yourself I wish that there had been a better solution for you other than waiting Waiting for something better to happen, instead of looking to John 3:16 If it was eternal life you desired, then eternal life you shall get For you are the closest to any angel that I have ever met And I miss yo...

Crows feet.

I hope I give you crows feet From smiling Too often I hope that when our eyes meet Your knees go weak And your body grows heavy Because you mesmerize me The way you talk The way you walk The way you brush my body When you stand beside me To let me know you want to touch me The way you smile at me subtly In a room full of people I am the one That you look at like that And every time you turn your back I will follow I will swallow All my fear Just to be near You and your heart beating Because it feels like I’m cheating Fate If I don’t give in to the way You move me And I don’t even know if destiny Is real but I know this feeling is And it’s just too strong to dismiss
