Girl on the Train

You missed your train
and I was early for mine
so we shared a drink
as the stars aligned.
One drink led to two
as each train passed by
and soon we were stranded;
trapped in each other’s eyes.
Together in the city,
our fun wouldn’t end
as we traipsed all over town
more like lovers than friends.
The moon overhead,
and the stars shone too,
but not a single one brighter
than the beauty of you.
The city never sleeps
and neither would we
as our hearts fell deeper,
finally able to be free.
The sun began to rise
as we sat on the pier,
with the city behind us
and each train drawing near.
Your hand in mine,
as a new day began
and we shared a kiss
that was never the plan.
I walked you back
to the place that we met
and kissed you goodbye,
since you had a train to get.

Do you remember when I called you mine
and the look in your eye could stop my heart
and a single touch could start it again?

Do you remember when love was a word,
a feeling, a moment, a look, a friend
who lived in our house so often?

Do you remember when forever seemed
such a short period of time
to share this fiery blossom of love?

I remember all this and more
which is why forever got up
and walked out the door.

E.M.

I have loved you since I met you
and I loved you before I knew.
I will love you longer than life
and I will love you for being you.
I have loved you in other lives
and I have loved you in many ways.
I have loved you in all seasons
and through the endless days.
I loved you in my heart
before my eyes were ever laid
upon your timeless beauty
which for another, I would not trade.
I love you with all my heart
and my life is yours to take
since love as strong as ours
will never seem to break.

Loving You

Loving you is not a choice,
but if it were,
I would still choose to love.
Fate and free will
would be one in the same
since loving you
is the only thing
to keep me sane.

Loving you is a privilege,
which I cherish
and I understand the risk.
One year or a million
would never be enough
to show you I care
and to give you
all my love.

I remember your smile;
it’s ingrained in my heart.
It could light up a room
and fix what’s been broken apart.
Now, when I need it the most
I’ll carry it forever inside
and every time I think of you,
my smile will be twice as wide.

Thought

Melissa thought she could save me

and Steph thought she was the cure

and Tracy thought I was wounded

and Ashley thought she was sure.

Roni thought she could break my walls

and Elle thought it was all for show

and Nat thought she could change me

and Chris thought, but didn’t know.

Sam thought I was cute

and Lara thought I was smart

and Kim thought I was perfect

and Kate thought she had my heart.

I thought that I was stalling

and I thought I could run away

and I thought I’d never think

of asking you to stay.

Battlefield

I heard Pat the other day,
singing about some battlefield
and my thoughts went to you,

another casualty of the war.

Do you remember saying
that everyone you loved, left?
That every bond you made

was sure to break within time?

I’ve thought a lot on this
as over the years we’ve strayed
and if there was ever a way

our bond could be saved.

But, you always made it sound
as though it was a one-way street
and the more I see it now

I know you are correct.

It was never about us leaving you,
so I see how you could be so sure
that our bond would sever

at the hand of your blade.
