I love people that are far away
I don't see them but love them anyway

I love people that don't exist
My want for her will not desist

I love people that I didn't know I would
I love him in ways I didn't know I could

When the Seattle rain falls and
Pings on the mailbox --
The chill outside jostling the
Doorknob to find it locked --
Our rooms will be grey with overcast.

The TV will hum and thrum, and
Fuzz around our heads
While the ***** socks lay off
The foot of the bed
With us buried deep inside.

Her glistening eyes will sit inches
From mine, gingerbread
And coffee dripping in thick caramel
From which the gloom fled
Like tsunamis back out the windows,
      and

Like braille under my fingertips I'll feel
The goosebumps of her skin,
And we'll lay here like it's the place
We've always been, with Yossarian's
Tail thumping the floor.

I'm a poet but you make me feel mute
All I can do is kiss you and call you cute
I write pathetic lines of prose
Exhausted metaphors, the sun, a rose
But all you have to do is drive
Take me home, you took me home last night
And started talking as if you had rehearsed
A speech unlike any I had heard
You smiled and laughed and hardly looked at me
Sitting there appalled in the passenger seat

You said you were in love so intimately - so out there, but in there - how beautiful it is to love me the way you do, to know me so well, so deeply, everything about me -
without even having to touch me. And that is so out there, but in there

You must've felt silly
But the tears in my eyes
Replaced any words in my mouth
And you knew -
I feel the same

Hating myself
Hoping that loving him can redeem me
Hoping that loving him can save me
But I really do it for him

I just want him to be happy
I'd give up everything to make him happy
I've made deals with God and I've paid
He'll never know what I'd give up for him

I'll give up time
I'll give up money
Every smile I've ever had
I'll give up space
I'll give up silence
I'll give up noise
I'll give up everything
And anything
To redeem myself
To make up for everything I've taken
To force the goodness in me to reawaken
I do it all for you
I hope you know

If I had more to give
I'd give it all

In every breath
In every sigh
Days are pushing
Ever by
Slow and steady
Wins the race
Can't bear to travel
Such a pace
Temptations come
Temptations go
I love it when
You love me so
We grow stronger
As we pray
We love our Father
More every day
In His name may
We never fail
May our love
Never set sail
So proud to love you
So proud to be
The one you love
For you love me

Kiss me one last time as if you need me to breathe

I smile, because I've thought the same thing a million times before

Hold me ever closer, I need you to succeed

I smile, because I've known the same a million days before

Laugh as if you won't again, because you'll never know the truth

I smile, because I know I will, a million times again

I know I'll spend my life in joy, spending it with you

I smile because I know it's true, God speaks to me again

I can't wait to hear her cry Daddy Daddy -
Come and play with me!
I can't wait to shout back Honey Honey -
He's on his way, he's on his way!
