Puppy Love

I was sick of puppy love
Non-productive love
Un-responsive love
I needed something real
No lustfully filled
Or sexually reeled
I'm thinking you might be that guy
That will treat me right
And love me truly
Could it be that you are the one
That can make me come
Around to you without feeling blue?
What will it take to make you mine?
Boy it has been a real long time
Since anyone has made me feel the way you do
And wasn't about the games
Just being true...
Is that you?
My ex didn't dog me out
Didn't scream and shout
Didn't hurt me bad
But he wasn't about the long term role
He was scared to show
That his heart did know
That I was the one for him
So he tried to squirm
Out of tagging me
I realized that I needed so much more
Deserved to really score
So I returned that fish back to the sea
But are you the one for me?
Did I catch you at the right time
Or are you taking up my time selfishly?
Do you see forever in my eyes?
Or is this knight in shining armor look just a disguise?

I'm looking for the real deal
Not just sex appeal
I'm looking for committed love
Not just puppy love
I'm looking for a friend to talk to
Who I can go on long walks with
Who I can spend my time with
Who I can spend my life with

Are you the one
Who will rescue me from heartbreak
Are you the one
Who is not on the take
Are you the one
Who will give his all to me
Are you the one
Who will marry me
Who will marry me
Who will marry me

Just Be

Sadness comes in the day
And I yearn to hear from you
I don't know where you are
But I know that I'm in love with you
Happiness interrupts the mood
When you call me and we talk for a while
I love that you want to be with me
Just be who you are
when you are here with me
Be Kind
Be True
Be Good
Be Rude
Believe
Be more
Be you
Be sad
Be more
Be great
Be sore
Just be who you are
when you are here with me
It seems that you're holding back
Are you afraid that I won't accept the bad
I look past all the tainted parts
And love you, good and bad
Be free
Be shy
Be bold
Be there
Believe
Be poor
Be rich
Be cautious
Be scared
Be renounced
be low
be high
be known
Just be who you are
when you are here with me

When I let you in

You should have known it
Wouldn't you know it
Tell me you do
Don't play and act like you don't see it
Is pride the sin
Well, repent and give in
to me
Realize that
As my name escapes your lips
your heart skips beats
as blood flows to places
down below
where no one else should go
and where no one else should see
except me
because I am
with whom you want to be
and when I shut you out
your world trembles
but when I let you in
celebrations surround the globe
and when your name escapes my lips
once again your heart skips beats
as blood flows to places
down below
where no one else should see
except me
because I am
with whom you want to be
and when we surrender to
our wants
and when we admit
to our needs
we can't help but to feel free
of the burdens of the world
and the things that make us sad
and the people who make us mad
everything is silent
And when our names escape our lips
our heart skips beats
and blood flows to places
down below
where no one else should go
and where no one else should see
except us
because we are
with whom we want to be
with
for that moment
which will live on
forevermore
in our memory
because it's timeless
(that moment)
if for a second or for hours
years or just days -
a higher power
leads us
and intrigues us
to do
what we must do
in the shadows of
desire
Yes, a higher power
controls us
and urges us to be more
than anyone else could know
and the secret never unfolds
that As our names escape their lips
hearts skip beats
And their blood flows to places
down below
and they hide because they know
that we will travel
to where no one else should go
and where no one else should see
except you and me
because we are
meant to be
for eternity

We used to

We used to free fall
the sky wasn't even the limit
all we needed was to get in it
and it was exciting, great, and free.
We had our moments
mountain tops
parking lots
anywhere, as long as could just be.
We loved hard
harder than anything solid
harder than stones and brick
so hard that it made us sick.
We still dream
dream of how it used to be
dream of how it should have been
dream of how we performed like real life flicks.
We know better
better to have loved than to not have loved at all
better to have had a taste of perfection
better to have known when to say when.
We will always have memories
memories of what we were to each other
memories of who we were to each other
memories that will live on long after our lives come to an end.

How Shall I Die?

Should I lay down quietly and let your words kill my spirit?
Shall I drown in tears you made me cry?
Shall I hold my breath, knowing the truth doesn't exist in your world?
How Shall I Die?

Should I continue to depend on strangers to comfort me?
Should I jump from the window in hopes that I'll fly?
Should I ignore all the signs?
How Shall I Die?

If you wanted to you could cure me
But that would mean you'd have to be true
And of course that would mean sacrifice
Which is something you're too selfish to do.

So instead of waiting for you, I'll disappear from your world
I'll make it easy for you to get on with your life
I'll let you make up the story of what to tell our friends
I'll let you decide how I shall die.

Just Make Me Happy

Just make me happy
Stop and think about what I'd like
Take some time out from being self consumed
And consider what would make me feel alright

You know the things that make me smile
You know how to touch me the right way
When times are hard, I may need a little giggle
After a hard day, I may need to play

When we talk, it's mostly about things that are serious
The bills, the kids, the stress
But how about coming up with stimulating conversation
Or saying "we're going out, so go upstairs and get dressed"

It doesn't take a lot of effort
To bring joy to someone you love
But for whatever reasons that doesn't seem to be a priority
For some reason you forgot about the compassionate parts of love

It's not about the cuddling
Though that is nice enough
It's not about the sex
Of course that's needed, but sometimes I yearn for a different touch

Like sometimes declare you'll cook dinner
Or send me a text saying "I love you"
Leave a love note under my pillow
Ask me "Is there anything that you'd like me to do?"

Just make me feel super special
Make me the Queen of your kingdom all the time
Turn my tear drops to champagne kisses
When my day is cloudy, demand the sun to shine

GO out of your way for me more frequently
You know I do the same for you
If you truly love me, then you'll want to just make me happy
If you truly love me, that's not a hard thing to do.

New Day

I wake up
Still groggy from a summer's dream
In time I come to focus
On whatever the new day brings
And though the dreams were wonderful
I know a new day must begin
With working out, writing, and daily chores
And talking with my friends
And then the kids come home
I handle them with care
I laugh at all their funny jokes
And wonder how we all got here
Here in this place of joy and bliss
A happy home filled with love
I suppose it was God's way of showing
That he's still with us-though up above
