“if Only”
If only I could see you
I would not be sitting here
I would be on my way to meet you
To spend my day with you
If only you were local
I would be waiting on your call
To set a time to meet you
In the middle of the day
If only you were thinking
The way I’m thinking about you

No man can wi...

claws at your mind,
destroying mankind.
Spoils your strength and wrecks your growth
You want it so badly,
want it to work,
but really, love’s a jerk.
It’s a broken-hearted and despondent wish
Makes you bubbly on the inside.
Finds your missing piece.
Has you feel at peace.
Gives you beauty and ma...

Sun clouds
During the day you can see the cloud. You can feel the sun shine over your skin. You can feel the rain fall beneath your toes. You can Hear the thunder roaring like a lion. You can see all the happiness in the air. You can feel the wind against your cheeks and the floor underneath yourself. You can tell if it’s scary or not or if the sun will shine. Always know the earth is near. And feel like you...
