I am going to the beach in a few days. I have a short video to make and a few pics I promised you.   I have a heart to craft from sand, seashells and washed-up stones. After that, I just don't know anymore. I hope you will come and talk to me—if not, I will understand.
[Verse 1]
Strange how two can be just right
when the world was never kind
both of us a poor fit here
but somehow still belong

[Pre-Chorus]
We're orange and purple
mismatched but true
holding the pieces
the world let fall through

[Chorus]
We close the coat
against the wind
even if we're not the same one
we’ve been living in
not the same coat
not the same wind
but somehow
we fit within

[Verse 2]
We've known storms that never passed
winds that tore through every plan
but your hands still know the way
to keep mine warm again

[Pre-Chorus]
We're orange and purple
stitched in the dark
mending the pieces
with the light in our hearts

[Chorus]
We close the coat
against the wind
even we're not the same one
we've been living in
not the same coat
not the same wind
but somehow
we fit within

[Outro]
Strange how two can be just right
when the world was never kind

Enough
Cruel
how two
can be
just right
for each other
but the world
a poor fit
for us both—

Mismatched
orange and purple
buttons
that close
a coat
against
any wind—

Just not
the same
coat
not
the same
wind
I am feeling like a nuisance
and I think I should just go quiet
I wrote a few songs this week. It helps me keep my sanity in check. I reached 600 followers this week—it's starting to snowball—I will reach 700 followers before the end of the week, but it is not enough.  One is all I need, one is enough—YOU are enough.

In the past week, my songs were listened to 15,000 times, but it is not enough, just one would be enough.

You might think it over between us, but you know, unforgettable kind of lasts forever—just saying.  

And for me, YOU are the ONE
and nothing will ever change that.

I love you, sweetheart, always will
even the part of you that needs space
and time to figure all this out. 🧡

Careful, at 3:30 the volume goes up a bit.
[Verse 1]
There's a part of her that tends the clock
wants to freeze the world before it breaks
a child with eyes too wide to defend
hoping time might pass her by

She curls up safe to avoid the fall
I see her there—I love her all
not for who she used to be
but for the way she still believes

[Verse 2]
There’s a part that wakes and breathes just fine
laughs like pain was never near
she lives in moments light and clear
unburdened with thoughts of fear

She lets the sunlight touch her skin
and I don’t ask what hides within
I take her joy however brief
and savor her quiet relief

[Pre-Chorus]
She is not too much to hold
she is not too sharp to soothe
every version she becomes
I will still choose

[Chorus]
I love all of her
the girl who hides the one who runs
the one who freezes when it's done
the fire that fights to stay alive
each part of her is still just right
and I won't walk away
I won’t ever walk away

[Verse 3]
There’s a part that flinches at a sound
who looks for exits scans the ground
fear behind her worried face
I know the shape of that escape

She doesn’t have to say it loud
I’ll read her silence in the crowd
I’ll stay right here I’ll keep her close
and let her breathe when she needs it most

[Bridge]
And then the one who won’t retreat
who guards her heart with sharpened teeth
she’d burn it all before she breaks
I see the love behind the ache

[Final Chorus]
I love all of her
the child who froze to stay alive
the one who smiles just to survive
the fear the flame the ones that hide—
she’s whole in every single side
and I won't walk away
I won’t ever walk away

[Outro]
She doesn’t have to choose which one to be
I see them all
I’ll take them all
and I stay always

You are Enough
You think
you left her
somewhere
safe—
a version
trimmed by
loss and cost
resigned
from a rage
that won't
leave you alone

But she's not
so gone

She lives
in what
you are—
the pause
before reply
the way
you lean away
when asking why

She learned
to shed
the ache—
not
what made
you kind
you were
already kind

What pain
erased
was never
the heart
only
its outline

And true love
knows
you are enough—
you always
have been

It's possible—
to keep
the warmth
without the burn
to be the flame
without the fuel
of pain
Just come back we'll figure it out together

Purple
I remember what it felt like
to run out of air
Underwater
at that fragile moment—
when the body gives up
before the soul does

And then a hand—
unexpected—
pulling you back
back to breath
back to being

The other night
it happened to me

The current took me
not gently—
it dragged me
to the edge of the waterfall
where the rocks wait
like quiet teeth

I was tired
tired of trying to hold on
so I just didn’t

I let go
and in that surrender
I felt you
I felt what you must have felt

Then—
a hand
out of nowhere
pulling me from the dark
back to myself

Now I understand
now I know the color purple better
now I know
it's not about drowning
it's about a hand
that got in the way
it's about not looking at water
the same way anymore
and  how I love you
even more now

No Reason
[Intro]
She said—thank you
I said—for what
she said—no reason

[Verse 1]
She walks like the world owes her nothing
but still she gives like spring
lips wrapped in mystery
eyes holding midnight in a ring
I caught her looking up one night
smile like a match to the dark
when I asked her why she stayed
she just leaned in close and sparked

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s not about the words you say
it’s the way they leave your mouth
like soft thunder in the quiet
like heat when the cold runs out

[Chorus]
No reason no plan no rhyme
just the way you stop the sky from fallin’
The way your touch makes fire from time
undoing lonely like it’s nothin’ at all
No reason—just everything you are
like a lighthouse in my dark
all that
and everything else

[Verse 2]
We didn’t come here for answers
no maps no signs no script
but she lit up the silence
like a fuse on the edge of my lips
she said—You don’t need to prove it
you just need to stay warm
and somehow I knew right then
this was a different kind of storm

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s not about the promises made
it’s how your silence holds me still
like a flame that doesn’t brag
but always knows it will

[Chorus]
No reason no plan no rhyme
just the way you stop the sky from fallin’
he way your touch makes fire from time
undoing lonely like it’s nothin’ at all
No reason—just everything you are
like a lighthouse in my dark
all that
and everything else

[Bridge]
And maybe we don’t need a why
not every heartbeat needs a story
not every kiss needs a reason
we just are
we're just fire
we're just rain
we just can

[Final Chorus]
No reason (no reason)
no rhyme (just time)
Just the way the sky stays whole
when I’m breaking at the seams
you’re all that
and everything else
(Yeah) all that
and everything else

[Outro]
She said—thank you
I said—for what
she smiled
and let the silence speak
I love you Boo—I always will

I wrote you a song today
I hope you like it
and I hope it helps

You know I love you
and you can do no wrong
and never will
