when I think about sunshine and laughter it is your face that comes to my mind.
I'm holding you tightly so you don't slip away away, I think I'm holding on too tight my finger lingering slowly up, it strokes your soft hand, along your cheeks, I twist my finger around your hair. damn, I forgot you don't like that.
I see something in your eyes fuck, I'm stranded in an art museum.
I'm alone in your garden and my head is full of you. I like you too much I want you all to myself. What is your dream, this world. Our Dreamworld. The garden we are laying seeds down for. I think, what if one day I have to forget your eyes? Your voice ? I wonder will I lose you? I'm holding on so tight, it feels like I'm fighting a whole city.
The seeds, what will happen to the seeds I'm planting. the trees, the flowers, the lilies, the roses, the sunflowers and avo trees - they always were too expensive in shops. will they have blossomed? Have you tasted its fruit? will I have to tear it down, Will I have to burn this garden too? I can't,
I will water it forever and wait but what if you return only with a firestick? My tears fill up rivers for you. But my feelings fill the ocean. Is this an endless garden? don't plant thistles or ivy! My heart pains, I hate tearing down gardens, Have I already? Tell me what it is that you see? In the mirror I see, no lily, no rose, no sunflower. I turn and see baby blue Cadillacs driven by peg-legged nuns on pogo sticks. I lay my head on your heart I hear one, two, three heartbeats.
Will I be turned into a person who's text is left on read. but don't worry I say. I will never say a word

You deserve the love you keep trying to give everyone else.
I wish I could say I regret that day But, darling I can't I wish I could hate you And say that's truth But I wouldn't change a thing Not even change the kisses that Went wrong In fact I would take you Hug you and never let go even if thing's repeated themselves I would get the feeling I so long ache I wish history would repeat itself this just this once I miss the time's and most of all I miss you
Blue
The ocean of your eye's
I so easily drowned in
I should learn to swim
Blue
The color everything wear's when I'm with you
I get so dizzy too easily
Blue
The late nights, we were separate but one
Insomnia hath its way too easily with me
Blue
The emotions I feel when I see you with another
You have no idea the amount of happiness and despair you bring
Blue
Water shimmering, I saw your reflection in my dream
I should be over this by now
Blue
Mellow and sweet like Julia
Yet deep, the ocean has nothing on you
Watching the ocean late at night does me no good
Blue
The moon is beautiful indeed
It compares to an incomplete quilt around you
Man I give compliments too easily
Blue
You are a Lily, Arum, I a weed
My plant's at least will never reject me
Blue
Lonely nights I listen to your voice
I think I can hear it right now
These ears are too sensitive
Blue
We just friends and that's okay
After all

I stole a kiss from you on our first real date I couldn't help it You were in the middle of a sentence as you spoke of music and art you loved and I just leaned over and kissed you And then filled anxious nerves
"Oh" that was all you said and I apologized again and again You looked at me I looked at you and we tried again for a first kiss
For real this time
Memory does not count distance
Nor days or month's
Time illuminates memory
Memory is pain
So judge me not when I think of you
Memories turn my blood red
Turn it into ink
This ink is What speaks to you now
Bleeding is a slow dance
Slow dance between survival and death
If I told you that the medication for my condition
Is you
What would you do?
