I'd hold you down but you gotta be down

I don't want to lose focus
Remember why I'm here
To look for something that I can't define
An absence that haunts me

You don't want to lose focus
Fall into someone you can't define
Have their absence haunt you
Become something that you'll never find

Isn't it funny how we spend our entire lives trying to avoid what we become?

You can only be as good as you want to be.

You can only be as good as you want to be.
That is what she told me.
And I thought,
What if I wanted to be awful awful,
Take the road always traveled.
And she said,
Just remember what you'll see
When you look back.

I'm here because life is too short to wait for last call.

I looked at you differently

In the light
Of the fluorescent lamp
You're hunched over,
Thinking like those funny Greek statues in museums,
A quiet beauty.

The slope of your nose,
Wonder of your eyes,
Curve of your lips.

I stare,
Caught in a Yeats poem.
Its an odyssey,
Falling for someone.
Its a breakthrough,
learning to love again.

Merci Mille Fois, Mon amour.

He woke me up.

While my eyes were filled with morning dew
Rolling over in bed to face him through sleepy eyelashes
He's leaving to start his day
The morning is filtering through the blinds
And we, are happy.
The air is filled with what we want to say
I ___ you
So I ask,
Do you love me?
He says
Yes, I love you
He pulls a gray shirt on, I love you
He slips a belt around his waist, I love you
When he shuts the door behind him, he taps on the open window,
I love you
and, I, I love him
I say it easily, without any hesitation, without any doubt in my mind.
