Rotary Telephone

Pots

The Usual

Vocation

The first time, just beers by the river
Tossing stories back and forth to pass the time
A sunset, on so much more than daylight, 
But on everything I knew about love

You're smile twinkling so bright
The embers deep within me ignite
I reached out and put your hand in ine
A little hesitation, to break the reservations
The blackened canvas inside

It only takes a second, for the stars to fall in line
So I'll make my move while there's still time

I kissed you, and the ice started melting
The walls around my heart began to break
You saw me, and all my imperfections
You pulled me close to you and never looked back
Looked back, looked back, looked back

Adventures, spontaneous decisions
From park benches to roofs, you were mine
Laughter, and deep conversation
While the orange of the fire lights your eyes

Exchanging daydreams, a brand new design
As we fall into each other as the starts align

I kissed you, and the ice started melting
The walls around my heart began to break
You saw me, and all my imperfections
You pulled me close to you and never looked back
Looked back, looked back, looked back

The kindness you breathe, washes over me
Renewing, re-inventing the withered man in me
And if I had a century, to tell you how amazing you are
It'd never be enough. 
Not enough

Together, sitting underneath the moonlight
On a back porch sipping wine
Speechless, a hundred thousand feelings
Of joy fulfillment
Resounding contentment
Expanding elatement
A never-ending fire

I kissed you, and the ice started melting
The walls around my heart began to break
You saw me, and all my imperfections
You pulled me close to you and never looked back
Looked back, looked back, looked back

When I'm with you, I've never been more prouder
My happiness is louder
Than it has ever been
No matter, if this is a minute or forever
My world is so much better, with you in my life
And I'm not looking back
