If It's the Way it Has to Be

Your eyes will lay down my soul to sleep
So restfully
Knowing you are happy
Finally
And i will stop thinking only of me
I will quit thinking the stars are only mine
Because in this big city they are missing
All I have are the lights beckoning late night planes to land upon them

And I could sing you a lullaby
If it would clear your sweet head
If you would lie yours next to mine
And I could soak in the brown of your eyes
Sliding my fingers in yours
Feeling your lips against my head

I could stare forever at the waves of the ocean
And never get bored
And never forget the salt in the air as I licked my lips
Wishing that the heat would never leave my skin
And you would always be
Always be here waiting beside me

I could ponder the edge of the garden
Where does the planted flower become nothing but dirt
Or a blade of grass?
Whistling nature's tune
Singing only tunes for you
Wishing it was all different
And we would never wake up to find our concern
Still tipsy from the night before
Spinning, grasping, singing,
Happier than we could ever be
Erase these sugar-plum dreams
If you can, if you will
If it's the way it has to be

Post the Fourth

Happy Summer! Happy Belated 4th of July!

Good God this summer is going by crazy fast. I can't believe we are in July. I can't believe I am about to be a year older. And nope, ain't gonna tell you how old!

I just got back a couple weeks ago from a cruise with the family. My grandparents gifted the family a cruise (my first one ever!). So it was my grandparents, Aunt, her husband, my uncle, and three cousins, and myself. Really good time. Nice to spend time with the fam and have the benefit of food 24/7. I often looked at my tummy and called it affectionately my "cruise belly" - I have since lost it again. But good times.

Two days before my birthday now. I mean, if we're being honest, I could have happily skipped adding a number this year! LoL* But I still get asked if I am 20, so I guess I can stand to add another year. :) I will attempt to write a whole getting older, wiser, and a little more solid kind of blog at some point.

I am having a huge birthday bash on Friday, should be interesting to say the least.

I am wiped out. I worked in Kids Klub at work. My FB stat was "So today at work: two kids bullied others (pushing and kicking), a boy made me run several self-made obstacle courses (remember my distaste of running?), a little boy slammed his finger in the door and bled, and then his sister had a random nose bleed... I don't get paid enough for this! LOL"

Fun day. Now to fall into my bed, into a deep sleep. I leave you with Shakespeare...
