I sung that I knew you beforeThe time I saw your faceThe green eternity in your eyesMade time feel misplacedYour dress was the color of wineAnd I was drunk off the tasteI sang my heart into the nightI knew you felt the same way

We met our love in the February airAnd the lives we had before,They began to tear

The only way to truly know someone is by being with them, by conversation.

You know that all I have Is all that we areSo hold me close tonightUnderneath a billion stars

Do you ever miss me?The way we held each other close,What about our history?Have you blocked out the memoryOf the things that meant the most?

My ears filled with sounds Of the paddling of canoesMy feet filled with the dampness Of the early morning dewMy eyes filled with the road ahead And all that comes into viewMy minds filled with thoughts That remind me of you

I left behind Believing in things I can’t see,Now I findMyself being lost In the way you look at me,Green eyes like eternitySomething like a deity,I lose myself And find all that we could be

Art is that which helps you seebeauty in the mundane...Let my life be a work of art.

When I lose sight of her, when I reach for an iPhonefirst thing in the morninginstead of her hand;When I look at screens before I see her face,I put the screens away,resuming my morning meditationson the miracle of waking up beside her.

We never fully move on, We leave a piece of ourselves behindLike leaves and trunks molded into the earthAnd forest floor, we give what we know And others take it up and use it to grow.I stand under the shade of giants.
