I Will Be Here

Tomorrow morning if you wake up and the sun does not appear
I will be here
If in the dark we lose sight of love, hold my hand and have no fear
Because I will be here

I will be here
When you feel like being quiet, when you need to speak your mind
I will listen, and I will be here

When the laughter turns to crying, through the winning, losing, and trying
We'll be together because I will be here

Tomorrow morning if you wake up and the future is unclear
I will be here
As sure as seasons are made for change, our lifetimes are made for years
So I will be here
I will be here
You can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older I will hold you

And I will be here to watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here

I will be true to the promise I have made to you and to the one who gave you to me
I will be here

And just as sure as seasons are made for change, our lifetimes are made for years
So I will be here
We'll be together, and I will be here

This is for the people who I know would be here for me too. That is Abby, my mama, mon petit chou, Brandon, Caity, Christine, my Eremy, Val, and my Madea. Most of you, I miss alot, and the ones I don't miss, I am so happy I have you around and to talk to. And this is also about the love of my life, Maggie. She is my baby girl and I will always be here for her. And if anyone ever does her wrong or hurts her, I will take up all this pent up anger I have, and unleash it on them. So don't do that. Please and thanks.

The Yoga Of Relationships

I stretched across a thousand miles to let you hold my heart
It kept on beating in your hands, alive with a fresh start
I didn't give it all to you at first just out of fear
Yet as the days turned into weeks I knew you were sincere

While stretched across those many miles I heard her call your name
My heart got heavy in your clutch as she re-laid her claim
I knew you wanted to go back to how things were before
You weren't mine to have or hold, at least not anymore

So in the final stretch over those miles where I shared
I studied my heart; it was fine, just somewhat unprepared
But that's the way it goes with love and so I'll count to ten
And put the memories on the shelf and give love a chance again

[I still can't sleep. So I wrote this instead.]
