(Untitled)


Laying here, delighting in the warmth of the sun You made Receiving Your tender kisses as the rays hug the backs of my legs These sticks that I walk on These soles that give me balance As I lay here there’s no need for balance There’s an equilibrium here Caused simply by the coexistence of You and I It’s gets no better than this But if You were to leave… Just don’t. Those other ones, they came and left They drew the lock and out they crept Not turning back, not thinking twice But You were wise Stayed right beside You wouldn’t leave ‘Cause You were all I could believe You made me a promise I’ll never forget And unlike them You took to Your guns Not a day goes by I don’t feel you there Always aware For me You care You’re all I need.
