This Is What Love Is

From the moment I got to know you
my eyes were alight like stars.
Each movement you made,
just walking into my presence
delighted me like nothing ever has.
I never knew quite exactly
what that feeling was...
That feeling that kept me up at night,
smiling like I'd seen Heaven.
The same feeling that kept me
feeling so wonderfully alive.
Taking new steps each day
like I'd never seen the world before
I am so full of wonder.
You've taken my hand and shown me
every color was so much brighter
than I ever could've imagined.
I know what that feeling was now.
What is is, and always will be.
Pure, and infinite love
You are the true image
of what it means to love another
and I love you back just as much for that.
Because its so beautiful.

Be My Light Garden

The words repeated...
"An open door, a closing past..."
But you and I, we're meant to last.
Forever and always, just like the stars.
I used to complain, but now they're ours.
Every word once spoken or written in ink
requires no thought now. I'm changing what I think.
Because you walked in and you turned me around,
from the the dreary sidewalk endings
to the snowy white ground.
If the words could say thank you,
they'd scream them quite clearly.
But you know what my heart speaks
cause you love it dearly.
So lets go make a garden from color and light
to forget where we've been and start anew on this night.
You and I, hand in hand, facing the world together.
You and I, now as us, hearts so in love
forever.

Risk it all, cause I'll catch you when you fall wherever you go.

No more words in gray, or black, or blue.
I want them shining purple, just like you.
We glow in the light as it sets in the west.
I know where your hearts at
cause you know me best.
And for as much rain as we've been through
we're still together.
And we're still going strong.
I think we will be forever.
You fill my worlds with color
likes the painters I'd always longed to know.
You watched my words unfold
and I watched your heart grow.
So afraid of what love was, but you opened my eyes.
And now my face lights with smiles
cause your love makes me so alive.
I want to run so free and far
and carry you straight to a star.
One day I promise we will be free.
Your hand in mine
Just you, and me.

Away

I want to be able to feel your heartbeat
when you're dancing with me.
And I think...maybe...you are the sun.
Because my heart wakes when you do.
One day we're gonna run away so far.
And we're gonna be so high on life
that we could jump for the stars.
Your hand in mine...
I could conquer anything.
Time. Life. People.
The world was cold and
you took me in.
Knowing full well that I was being followed
by those that still hate the way we spin.
But who cares? Who cares.
I only care that I love you
forever and always.
I only care
that you're with me.
I only care for you.

The Tide Can Take Us

I woke up this morning and the light hurt my eyes.
And when I flipped over I still realized
that you were right there.
But I thought I had dreamed the whole night
of those brilliant colors that made everything right.
And if the world I know is just a dream, well then
please don't wake me up.
This is the best I've ever been.

See I think all I needed ever since the start
was to believe in love
and believe in my heart.
And you believe in both and still yet it in me.
And I know I'm not dreaming
so how can this be?

I wish that we could fly. I would take your hand
and we'd soar to the beach and build palaces of sand.
And each morning when you woke
I'd greet you with the sun.
And we'd do it all over
when the day was done.

You're a star or an angel. I still can't decide.
But I know I'm not hurt now. I don't want to hide.
But I'll take you away
and we can hide together.
Away from this world and
this bitter cold weather.

Now I know that all I ever needed from the start
was to believe in love
and believe in my heart.
And you believe in both. And still yet, in me.
And I know I'm not dreaming.
You'll always love me.

What We Were Meant For

I scratched my dreams out pencil deep
and watched those colors in my sleep.
Seattle called and called me home
because here in the snow, I'm still so alone.

And I, I think that you've always known.

My heart ran wild through the midnight sky
the night it found yours. The stars alligned.
And I always believed I'd leave all this behind.
But I'm not so sure now that's the future I'll find.

And I, I think that you know...

I can't do this on my own.
I wasn't meant to go on alone.
Seattle's never gonna be a home.
If you're not there.
My hearts too empty and the colors are gone.
The days are too dark and the nights too long.
And all the sparkle in my eyes disappears
if you're not here.
Yeah, when you're not here.

Something came and it took me away.
And it showed me a brighter and lighter day.
And I think it was you. And it was worth the while.
You made me forget how to frown and learn how to smile.

And I, I think that you still know...

I can't do this on my own.
I wasn't meant to go on alone.
And Seattle's never gonna be a home
if you're not there.
My heart's too empty and the colors all gone.
The days are too dark and the nights are too long.
And all the sparkle in my eyes disappears
if you're not here.
Yeah, when you're not here.

Happyness

Did you know that the worlds been coming apart?
And sometimes I have to hold my own heart.
Everythings here and
it's all coming out.
Even I sometimes wonder.
And I usually doubt.
This rain was meant for dancing.
And I wish I had a hand.
And I wish that hand was yours sometimes
so I could help you stand.
And we could walk now, side by side,
without the need to run or hide.
Peace isn't broken, but we just haven't found
the place where the sky meets the Earth and the ground.
I never much liked gravity
because my soul flys too high.
I was destined to reach and reach and reach
till I pulled just one star from the sky.
And I know even then
that I'll still burn my hand.
But as long as you have the other
then maybe I
can still stand.

So right now...

My eyes hurt now
from staring at the bright white screen.
My eyes are bright white too.
Blank
Cold
And filled with question, too.
Wondering if you'll ever get back to me...maybe.
Maybe just this once okay?
Cause you'll feel so so bad
if you don't and then
you read this and then
you find out something happened.
That's not a threat.
I don't want a thing to happen but
please?
Please answer me.
Just for once. Be a brother.
Just for once pick up the other end
and hold on tight
because I need you.

Desperation, Again.

Even I once lived and breathed.
Even I, still need. I need.
I need...you.
Maybe?
I'm so lost, like a child,
afraid of the dark and cold.
Lonely nights....I hate this okay?
He said he's jealous for me.
I know He loves me...God, that is.
But what if I still hurt?
What if my chest is still brimming
with pain, and my heart is still
overflowing in shades of red and black?
What then...
Am. I. Loved?
Or just simply lost looking for it?
Illusioned, possibly, because I am clay
and I believe almost anything.
Stupid of me, isn't it?
All of a sudden sometimes I am my own affliction.
I don't know why. I don't know.
I never will.
Let me go then, because
you can't save me.
You don't love me.
And you can't know this.
So let me go,
please.
