i'm cleaning out my closets, starting to pack. i found a few notebooks full of old poems i haven't read since the day i wrote. here is a random one:


close your eyes


close your eyes,
imagine this scene,
a grassy knoll,
just you and me,
the warmth of the sun
is shining down,
while the birds,
are flying around,
and we're finding animals,
in the clouds,
oh we're,
so in love

close your eyes,
imagine this scene,
on my driveway,
just you and me,
our back lying straight,
flat on the ground,
no one's up,
to make a sound,
we're just counting,
the stars above,
oh we're,
so in love

now open your eyes,
stop imagining,
please remember,
all that you've seen,
everday could,
be as great as these,
how could you throw away,
the opportunity,
to live the rest,
of your life with me,
oh i'm so in love,
oh i'm so in love,
oh i'm so in love with you

close your eyes,
imagine this scene,
at the airport,
just you and me,
tension thick,
it's difficult to breathe,
watery eyes,
it's difficult to see,
we say goodbye,
did i have to leave,
oh we were,
so in love,
oh we were,
so in love,
for a moment we really were,
for a moment it was there,
for a moment, but the moment's gone
