Just You

Sing me the song of our love in shared laughter, 
a kiss before bed and another kiss after, 
darling, our secrets paint music on rafters,
All that I want is just you.

Feed me some lines and I’ll make us some breakfast,   
Hide here in blankets, while morning light still lasts,
We’ll mark our hours by the clouds that will float past,
All that I need is just you.

Love let me hold you, stay right beside me,
Now, for this moment, and each one that will be, 
Yours is the face that I still wake up to see,

All that I dream of is you.

Lost in Translation

I always find myself 
lost in translation, 
maybe my accent’s 
too thick.
Most of my meaning 
hits ears that 
can’t hear it, 
and very few 
messages stick. 
I long to find myself 
one native speaker, 
someone who’s tongue 
mirrors mine. 
Someone who understands 
heartbeats as phrases, 
whose hand whispers 

“things will be fine.”

New Year Resolutions

Do not 
waste 
your life 
regretting 
yesterday, or 
hoping for 
tomorrow. 
This is it. 
Live today. 
Today, darling:

LIVE.
