November 18th
The day the she was born
She grew into a rose
Even has a few thorns

But I’m the man you see today
Because of what she has done
And I’m proud to say

Listen to me girl
‘Cause there’s something I gotta say
It’s been on my mind
Like every single day

I notice that he’s
He’s always on your mind
But you have to let him go

I want to be that guy
That makes your heart
Skip a beat
Every time we meet

To be the first and last number you dial
When you’re feeling down
I want to make you smile

She’s like a sunset over the horizon
Shining in all her beauty
Like that single red rose
In a sea of white petals
You can’t help but stare
And wonder in amazement
How did God create

To have salty drops
Escape from the windows to my soul
Would set me free

Because inside of me
The water is steadily rising
And it's getting hard to breathe

The air’s taste is stale
And the cold breeze stings my face
Because when she isn’t here
It’s not the same place
Even when there are other people around
Her presence can’t be replaced

To see a smile on your face
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
I’d even start my own garden
And grow one hundred roses just for you

I’d cut each rose just so

We spend the whole day together
Hoping it will last forever
But what happens when you have to leave?
I begin to notice that I can’t breathe

Like the air that sits in a balloon

While you lay in bed
I watch you as you sleep
A sight so sweet

The way your hair covers your face
Hiding your coffee brown eyes
It’s in that moment I realize

The subtleties of your ways
I have to admit girl
I’m completely amazed

The very way that you speak
Your words creep into my ears
Making my body weak

The softness of your gentle touch

Whatever she wanted
I’d give
Wherever she wanted
We’d live

For her I’d do anything
There are no limits
I’m going for her heart
And I plan to win it

She’s my oxygen

As I place these words
Oh so carefully chosen
Onto this paper
I turn my gaze towards the night sky
And it is at that point
That I then look inward
And ask myself
Why?

Random thoughts spill onto the page
The scent of sage within the air
Clouds of despair thin out
I come to find out
I’m not allowed to shout
Or even talk loud

You plus Me

Love has no bounds
As the rain blankets us
Lingering over the wet pavement
A kiss so soft
Yet so powerful
Within the blackened sky
Mysterious light shines
Guiding me towards your lips
