Album

In my head is an album of moments
All of the beautiful plaves we've been
Things that we've seen
Each moment more wonderful than the last
So close to my heart sometimes it doesn't feel like the past
And I have watched your eyes full of wonder
Reflecting all the pretty things
And I can see them all, plain as day before me
But my favorite view of all is you
When you stand before dusk as fireworks burst into the air
Like stars exploding
And clouds of smoke drift slowly down
When water steeps up to my chest
With your thighs pressed to my hips
Your lips on my lips
When we are in a crowded restaurant
That serves the best food in town
When I am with you it seems that no one else is around
When my hand is clasped tightly in your hand
When we laugh and play and dance
When you look back at me and smile
I swear my heart forgets to beat for a while
Time stands still for you
As I burn a memory into my mind
And when I am alone I find
That I flip through my albums one page at a time
So happy to have found someone with whom I could spend my life
I could love you forever and it would never be enough
Time will lay no claim to this love
It belongs only to you and me
And all the memories that are yet to be

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
