So happy
So peaceful
So full of love
So brimming with potential
Powerful, hopeful, creative
On top of the world

The truth of it is you loved me
But not enough to give an inch

The truth of it is, that hurts
That you could love me less than completely, short of forever, with half of your heart, and say that you care

It makes me sick
And I feel sorry
You'll never know
Just what you lost

Negotiating love
It's a tough business
But your heart's gotta be on the table

This is an invitation
For more love

More success
More money
More devotion

This is the time
For more passion

More wisdom
More laughter
More fun

Moving up and moving on
I'm ready
I can feel it

Your trash washes up on my shores
As the night rises
I walk the dark shoreline alone
Head down, hands in my pockets

Would that I could see with the eyes of God
Gazing out over infinity
Maybe then I would know the right words to say
To get what I need from you
When you speak with Time's tongue
The words land more gentle
My instinct is fear
And speaking in arrows
The question is clear
How long will I love him?
The answer is sealed with each crafted word

What feels most freeing
Or least constricting?

What opens doors
And what burns bridges

What gives you options
And what makes you stuck

What makes your heart grow
And what shuts you down

What gives them wings
And what weighs them down

Follow your bliss on that yellow brick road
Do it with courage, brains, and flow

If you can't seem to do anything right
Be kind and respectful
It works every time

The best birthdays
Contain surprises
Commemorating the moment
You first opened
Your eyes in this world
