falling for you breathless with anticipation
awakened by these wavering thoughts
just see me underestimating
the swiftness of these emotions

falling into you selfish with passion
hoping for these careless words just be mine unconditionally the stillness of these moments

falling with you resolved with affirmation elevated by these possibilities
just linger here 
unchanging 
the happiness of these memories

21

Lights are shining

Snow is falling

They’re all smiling

But Time is calling

And you’re not here

And I miss you

I miss you, mistletoe

20

my least favorite occupation

is chasing clouds held in my mind

keeping hopelessness from swallowing

this endless love

this selfish madness

that infects my silent night

will the stars argue

will the moonlight answer

please come wake me up

19

morning stillness has evaded me once again

piecing fragments of this lucid nightmare

with conversations from my captured soul

calming this chaotic neutral

constructing strength to stand

to move forward without you

to know what I have to do

and endure these moments beyond

18

I wish you could

I wish you would

Hold me one more time

Breathe me one more time

Kiss me one more time

Wanting one more first time

Needing one more last time

17

what to do with this endless heart

how you went away

in madness and magic

permanently tragic

I’m here lonely alone

silently screaming at concrete angels

waiting impatiently for our lost somedays

16

what to do with these endless nights

while stars share their dying light

I’m here talking with your stone

heartbroken over our stolen moments

afraid of love left behind

impatiently waiting for our next lifetime

15

oblivious to your souls nakedness

wounded by your yesterdays

unaware of the shadows they cast

echoing to be free

14

are you better from far away

I get lost thinking of you

wandering in time

wondering if it’s real

wishing for the truth

but your lights find me

and lead me back to your heart

10.5

can we be more than this

as far as we can, as long as we can

and lock up our yesterdays

before I’m lost in that time

and if everything else is gone, can we still be happy

can you hear my song

on the edge of this life’s little ledge

and not fall away

before I hear our lullaby one more time

and even if I can’t tell you why, can we still be happy

can my tears hold you

without any reasonable reason

and just be okay

before my heart stops telling time

and you remind me that we have each other, we can still be happy
