To young hearts,
Keep beating.
Keep breaking.
Keep falling in love.
The First
SUNBEAM
You light up the room
Wherever you go
With your wit and charm
You turn things around.
You light up the room
You’re a rush of blood
You’re a ray of sun
You lighten me up.
THE OBJECT OF MY
I love the way you look
Your eyes, they twinkle
Your lips, they curl
Your whole spirit lifts.
I love the way you look
As I watch you across the room
That is until you looked at me
And nothing else could compare.
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU
Your hand
How you held the small of my back
Your fingers
How they grasped mine as we crossed the street
Your feet
How they led us to your room
The chain on your neck
How it slid through my fingers as I pulled you in
Your eyes
How they spoke to me
Your bed
How it welcomed us both
Your lips
Oh, how they silenced my doubts
You are the dream
But I’ve had wake-up calls
IN A NUTSHELL
I’m not brave enough to love you
The same way
You’re not strong enough to take me on.
“He was good for you.”
“I don’t doubt it.”
“Then why’d you let him go?”
“I wasn’t good for him.”
