what I see now is us

When I look in your eyes

I don't see you

I don't see depth

I don't see blue

I don't see lips

So full, so true

I don't see love

Or the fragrance of you

Doesn't fill up my senses

And make me feel weak

Reaching up for your hand

As you're stroking my cheek

I don't see a man

That's learned of life's knocks

And ridden the waves

Recovered from shocks

I don't see a man who's given himself

To make my life be

Full of love

And of wealth

The wealth of another

To have them complete

By your side on your path

Or sitting on the same seat

I don't see a man

With a generous heart

Who won't let me guess

Who won't let me part

But sat waiting for me

And making things clear

I was loosing myself

As I always was here

And I don't see a man

Who shared the same dream

And saw the same face

And pulled the same seam

What I see is a man 

Who makes my heart beat

Who makes my lungs fill

Who makes me complete

My visions a blur

My thoughts are a buzz

It's not you that I see

What I see now is us.

that will not go

Living out the love songs

Read between the lines

Every time my heart beats

Every clock that chimes

It counts another moment

It finds another place

Where your eyes will meet with mine

Where your hands are on my face

And we sleep with bodies touching

Wrapped around with arms and legs

And your nose rests on my temple

And my mind is full of dregs

That are slowly leaving off now

And leaving us alone

New beginnings made together

Another half that will not go.

a new life to live

When I'm with you
The rest disappear
They slip far away
With the stroke of my ear
And your hand on my cheek
You're cupping my face
And holding me close
Anchored into this place
And it's not about land
Or constellations in the sky
It's having you near
And being there by your side
And without the words
I know what you feel
Your lips they are mine
And your kisses I steal
And the more that I take
The more that you give
There were lives once before
And a new life to live.

what it is

We know what we want
We know we want this
And now we can grieve
For days that we missed
Spent wandering around
And trying new things
And making mistakes
And making new dreams
And going in circles
And finding the line
And finding our truth
And finding the time
To only discover
It always was this
And we know now for sure
What it is we would miss... x

I'm coming back for you now

Beautiful insomnia
When real life it seems
Like it couldn't get better
Like you're living your dreams
I look at your face
And I feel I am home
I know you're my one
I know you won't go
That you'll stand by my side
And you'll be my best friend
You won't let me cry
And your love will not end
You've waited for me
And you've seen me be strong
Que sera, what will be
But now it feels like too long
Since you held my right hand
And you stroked my smooth face
Since we breathed the same air
Lay in the same place
Our secret love
That only we knew
You have been there for me
And I've been there for you
The world has gone round
And the tides have gone out
And no one else knew
What our lives were about
But the stars lit the sky
And the sun rose again
The tides lap the bay
J'adore et je t'aime
Yes we met once before
But it wasn't our time
There were gullys to cross
There were mountains to climb
And you wondered through years
What had happened to me
Did I think then of you
Was it you I could see
Well yes it was you
It always has been
But you weren't in my life
And you weren't in my dreams
You were there in my heart
You were with me each day
As I was finding myself
You were finding your way
And I could not believe
When you found me again
But you said you won't leave
You said you're my friend
And you were true to your word
And you've been all the things
That you promised to me
That I wished in my dreams
Our lives have aligned
From two sides of the world
You're my beautiful man
I'm your beautiful girl
You're awake when I sleep
And I dream while you wake
But we've found our true love
And we've lived for love's sake
Now we'll never let go
And we'll never know how
But our paths crossed again
I'm coming back for you now.

nothing but you

You ask me what I want
I'll say I dont want much
I want to be wanted
I want your touch

I want your hands on my face when you kiss me
I want the taste of your lips
I want to sleep there beside you
Brushing our fingertips

I want my face in your neck
Hearing the sound of my name
Feeling the beat of your heart
Knowing you feel the same

I want the smell of you
Clinging onto my clothes
I want a secret love
That no one else knows

I want to throw caution to the wind
And plunge into the deep
I want to live out our dreams
Make love while we sleep

I want to stand side by side
With your hand on my back
I want to stare at the world
Knowing Im on the right track

I want love and respect
And to share the same truth
I'll count the stars in the skies
I want nothing but you.

you're not looking back

The sun shines through the window

it's a beautiful morning

there are buds of new things

for new times, and new dawnings

Your head aches from sleep

But your done with the yawning

And you reach for the sky

New energy forming

The trees brush the rooftops

And the flowers hug the paths

You're looking past clouds

And you're not looking back.
