The first time I saw you, I wanted you
The first time I saw you, I saw you wanted me
We spent the rest of the time figuring out why
With every laugh, every smile, every glance, every touch, every… pause
Can we go somewhere quiet
Where we can exchange verses over a cocktail?
You can tell me your stories, your truths and your dreams. I can tell you about my flaws, my fantasies, the way I push against the very seams of myself.
When the lighting gets really low and nice.
And the shadows play across your face
Our eyes keeping us locked in one place
It’s time to let it all go and roll the dice
You left something behind when you left last night.
It was your essence, your aroma, your vibe, your light.
I lay there like a drunk,
stupid and in a daze
I believe in Love like I believe in God.
I mean I want to believe there’s a power behind it all,

Swan Song for My Brother
I’m in the pursuit of happiness and I know

Mister and Missus
We’re all here for you
So let’s all have a toast
I’ve known you both for so long
I’ve forgotten who I like the most
I’m kinda a writer now
The Hangover
I woke up this morning with a pain behind my eyes and throbbing in the temple
Did I go out and get hammered, do some things I can’t remember?
I thought we stayed at home and had a quiet night on the couch
Reunion
First of all, you look great
Even though I haven’t seen you in years
We’ve grown a lot over time
We’ve had wins, losses, hopes and fears
I didn’t know you missed me
