Tune to lights.
Wait there. Stop.
Now come closer.
Now stop.
Take it all in.
It all rushes back.
It’s quick, but don’t think.
Just do what’s right. Stop.
There’s no time to think.
Now come closer.
Look at me. Look at me.
What do you see?
Is it the early morning shadow of the tree?
The tree moist with the night’s touch. Taste it. Breathe it.
Come closer. Touch me. I’m here.
Feel that? This is what it should always feel like.
Nothing less, love.
Now turn around. Look.
Walk towards it.
Don’t be scared. When you stop, I’ll be right behind you.
132/160
Do I take you by surprise?
Is this overwhelming?
Or do you expect this?
Do I make you feel a certain way?
Baby? It’s not bad is it?
After all, you’re the reason.
You bring out the best in a person who hasn’t seen anything but his worst.
You make me see the way I should see.
And I know I do that to you too.
So forgive me for being cliche.
Breathe. You’re beautiful.
Sweetie, we’re beautiful.
And that’s okay I promise.
Just let yourself feel.
Feel everything around you.
Don’t be afraid. Trust me.
And if you don’t you will.
Cry.Laugh.Sing.Smile.
This is how life should be.
Isn’t it?
Stars Awake.
I’ve never seen the moon at high noon.
Baby, stay up with me. Let’s kill this night.
They say patience is a virtue.
Patience is the virtue I don’t have.
Trust is now what I want to hold tight.
You leave me no choice.
Because baby I see the ugly. I see the foul.
Show me the reason to love. Show me the reason to feel.
I’ve seem to forgotten how to keep my innocence in our world,
full of hurt.
Boy
Behind it all,
the boyish smile and smirk.
Behind the boyish eyes and look and lies,
is a man full of boyish mistakes.
Unlike the boy, I learn now.
I drove. I drove the short mile to your house.
I drove the short miles to escape.
To get away. To feel the good in life.
But one day the boy made a mistake.
He traded it all in for something new, pretty and shiny.
For a drive in a different direction. A drive to somewhere stuck in its place.
Baby, believe me I was scared.
It kept my heart from breaking.
It held as long as it could but now it’s finally broken.
And it’s not because of her. It’s because of you.
You had me more in a minute than she had me in a year.
The impact of the hit.
The sun rises behind me,
just enough to make out your words.
Because I must read lips,
as I cannot hear you.
But my eyes are too heavy to see.
I’ve been up all night.
Yell! Yell! You are too far away.
I couldn’t tell you yesterday
that I would be standing here today.
Standing like this.
Man, I didn’t see it. I’m lost.
As you walk away to find yourself,
I become stranded, while I find the truth in life.
But what I find is the evil and I hope it’s a lie.
I look for the good and I must imply,
There’s something dangerous lurking tonight.
Irony.
Tonight! Tonight! The most beautiful night.
Is there anyone out there? Does anyone see what I see?
Show me your face. Take off the disguise.
Touch me with love. Don’t touch me with lies.
Foggy Night Gloomy
It’s foggy outside.
Misty. You can feel it.
It’s beautiful. I hope it rains.
I hope it pours.
There is such a still calm.
Like a boat docked at bay
Or like sleeping with your love.
It feels as if the world can stop and breathe.
Wouldn’t that be nice?
We need more days like this.
They sure don’t come around often.
Hey, sweetie. Come to bed.
I’m kind of cold,
And I want to tell you something.
And just look at the water…
I want to swim. I want to swim.
I wanna feel the water.
I want to splash. I want to splash.
I wanna feel it on me.
I want to feel real.
Don’t you wanna feel real?
Let me know I’m still alive.
Come here. Kiss me.
That’s real. Did you feel it?
It’s blue. Everywhere.
It’s beautiful.
I can’t see far. It’s too dark.
But I see you. Right in front of me.
As you swim. As you swim.
Where do you want to go?
I’ll take you there.
I wanna show you all the things they never showed me.
Taste the water. It tastes so alive.
Taste these words. It’s tempting.
It is worth a try. Come here.
Taste this kiss. Now, follow me.
I’ll swim slow.
