It’s funny how love seems to wisp through your fingers
While at the same time seeming to linger
Love’s not tangible in its existence
Yet it can be held and brought in from a distance

Love isn’t something you can plainly see
But the more I’m in love, the more beautiful the world appears to be
Looking at a person in love is looking at happiness
I hope when you look at me, you see the feeling I’m shy to confess

A tender moment should be nothing but savored
For cherishing love keeps it from falling wayward
Love is meant to be appetizing to everyone
As the taste of love is happiness won

A smell can recall a memory of the past
The scent of you brings back the times I want to last
Smelling just-washed sheets makes me want to throw 'em in a pile
And jump onto them with you so we can lay for a while

As I lie on your chest and listen to your heart beat
I become calm because I know finding you was my biggest feat
When I hear your voice, I feel alright
For I know that together we'll get through any plight

If you're strong enough
To think
About the damage
That has been done
Rather than
Just wish it away

Does that mean
That you're not
As broken
As you thought?

Or does it mean
That after it all
You can't quite let go
That you are indeed
Very broken...

Is there a balance
To it all
Between dwelling
And remembering,
Forgetting and moving on,
Or no?

Is there a way
To know the best thing
To do?

Or is it all just
Worried "guesstimation"
About how much
Fear and pain
There will be left
Depending on
The approach?

You are not the waves that let me float
You are the boat that cradles me

You are not the path I follow
You are the shoes that comfort my dreary feet

You are not like a friend to me
You are my best companion

You are not there to fill in the nothing
You are there so I find joy in what I have

You are not the lamp that guides the way
You are the hand in mine that leads me

You are not my fish in the sea
You are the fisher that set me free

You are not the sun that warms the day
You are the moon that does all it can to brighten the night

You are not my heart
You are the life that flows through my veins

You are not the rain that cleanses me
You are the warm breeze that helps me to dry

You are not a piece of my life
You are the frame that holds it together

You are the love for me

I know someday death will take hold of you
It will take me from you or you from me
It is very sad but indeed it’s true
At some later point we will have to see

I’ll love you ‘til death, and still thereafter
I wonder the days that are left in life
But for now I hope life’s filled with laughter
Even if sometimes we laugh at our strife

I love you even when I think I do not
I love you and need you more than I know
It’s because you’re you, and not all you’ve got
Between you and me, death’s our only foe

Yet death does help people to see one thing
It’s how much they love the one that’s missing

How have ways become the way they are?
When did they start, from whence have they come?
History tells many tales, though not all by far
There's much to which I have yet to let my thoughts succumb

I feel there's often much time to wonder, but less time to learn
As my thoughts often turn to those tales not written, possibly not known
It's often the small bits of knowledge for which my mind yearns
Those seemingly trivial ideas that were once someone's own

Who first questioned and tried peanut butter and banana sandwiches?
For me, it's a childhood classic combination
Who invented dimming light switches?
I want know to whom I owe my appreciation

I know the human pool of knowledge is always increasing
There are more fields of study than I could ever list
I must strive to learn every day without ceasing
Above all, I owe it to myself to not let truth be missed

You’ve stolen my heart
But now I can actually feel it’s there

You’ve made me hurt
But only because I’ve laughed so much

You’ve made my single life seem boring
But it’s because I’ve learned that sharing life is what matters

You’ve captured my gaze
But seeing you is what makes me smile

You’ve taken over my dreams
But now I’m never afraid to fall asleep

You’ve curbed my independence
But now I realize I never really wanted to do it alone

You’ve made me so vulnerable
But now my heart’s open to all that love has to offer

You’ve taken my breath away
But somehow you’ve still given me life

You’ve made me confused
But only because I wonder how I ever lived without you

You’ve infiltrated my thoughts
But now I never feel alone

You’ve altered my plans
But now I know what they were supposed to be

First waiting
Anxiously take a seat
Gears turning
Sounds and movement begin
Slowly ascending
Trees leave the line of sight
Thoughts fading
The view stuns and stimulates wonder
Cerebration returning
Inspiration gathers as the moment passes
Still yearning
Anxiously must wait again
Moment approaching
Mentally process, soak it all in
Beautiful showing
Life from the ferris wheel view
