The sun rises and sets

The days go on

The hours tick by

She is by my side

She is my best friend

She is the cute nerd

I know my feelings for sure

I know I’m in love with her

I know it’s not possible

Still she is there

Still I see her day by day

Still I love her

Content to watch

Content to sit on the side

Content to love who I can’t have...

Am I really content?

Content in this life?

Life pulls me down

Down below the waves

Waves of sadness crash around

Around me people are fine

Fine is far from me...

Orchestra concerts bring…

Peace.

Peace, stilling your hands, slowing your heart.

They bring your consciousness to a priceless mental state,

One foot in and one foot out.

Half of you is part of the music,

The rhythms,

The melodies.

You experience a perfect moment,

Lost in a fantasy of your own un...

You didn’t see me breaking

Breaking down

Breaking free

Breaking through

Breaking my back for you

Breaking up

Breaking hearts

Breaking records

I’ve done it again,

Slipped off the face of the earth and floated with the stars.

I am happy to sit

To sit here I am content

I am content in the present moment

In the present moment I sit

I sit and feel the dullness

Feel the dullness of warm Summer air

Warm Summer air after the rain

The rain has a scent we’ve longed for

Chased after dreams, not...
