Wrong Place

We look for love in all the wrong places
But what choices do we have?

Father’s Hands

We used to walk hand in hand
On sidewalks and parks
Going nowhere and everywhere

You pick me up
You set me down
We would dance, you’d twirl me around.

Time passes and
We grow apart
The distance separates us

And even now
When you’re gone
We’ll still be walking
Hand in hand.

Embrace

Unfold your self to me
Let me fall into your embrace.

Hold me in your heart
And let me drown in your love.

Silence

I could always count on your silence
To tell me the truth.

Ballgame

Fresh cut grass
Ice cold beer.

Crunch of the peanut shells on the floor
our voices lost the crowd.

You turn and smile
Your laughter sweet.

We hi-five
We hugged.

To me a day in paradise
To you another day at the park.

*To me a precious memory
To you another day at the park.

Leather Jacket

I grabbed my jacket and walked outside
The city noise
Reminds me of how lonely
This world can be.

*the busy-ness
reminds me how lonely
the city is

Locked

I want to love you
I do.

But I’ve locked the door
And threw away the key.

It’s not something I’ll be looking for.

Gift

A new city
The same feelings

I keep traveling to forget
But you’ll always be with me.

I thank you for this gift.

Hang Around

You asked me
Why i never asked you to be mine
But I don’t even know if you’ll stick around

That’s the problem with love
We’re too scared to get let down.

Another Reason

My hesitation
Your relief
It was the strength you needed
To leave.
