My Love

You are not flesh and bone,
Not clay and dust,
Nor light and darkness.

Neither are you some color
Fixed between good and bad
Or a mere figment of a poet’s imagination.

Rather, you are an admixture
Of fierce fire and flexible water.

Whenever I am near you,
All I feel is constant steam, ripened heat—
A desire to burn, no matter the consequences.

New Beginnings

You are the conception of peace,
The beauty within the eventide.

Yesterday (Song Snippet + Lyrics)

[Verse 1]
Your face reminds me of yesterday (Oh whoa)
I said those words and I meant ‘em, babe (Oh whoa)
Now can you whisper them back to me? (Oh whoa)
So I can figure out what they mean to me

This ain’t the part where I tell you not to leave
I don’t belong with you, and you don’t belong with me
But that’s the thing about love no else can see
You don’t get to pick and choose what you want it to be

Matter (Song + Lyrics)

[Chorus]
I will love you
Until I cannot
I will love you
Until I cannot

Because you matter
You matter, you matter
Because you matter
You matter, you matter

[Verse]
You’re the best thing in this world to me
My only hope
My only dream
My only need

I haven’t felt a single fear
Since I held your hand
Kissed your lips
Wiped your tears

My only job is loving you
And you loving you
And loving you and loving you
And that is all I wanna do

[Chorus]
I will love you (I will love)
Until I cannot (Not)
I will love you (I will love)
Until my pulse drops (Drops)

So I will love you (I will love)
Like there’s no stop (None)
And will love you (I will love)
Until my heart pops

[4x]
Because you matter
You matter, you matter
Because you matter
You matter, you matter

[Outro]

I’m In Love With You (Song + Lyrics)

[Chorus]
I’m in love
I’m in love with you
I’m in love
I’m in love; it’s true

I’m in love
I’m in love (with you); it’s true
I’m in love
I can’t say bye to you

[Verse 1]
I never thought you’d be the one inside my heart
I never thought you’d build a home inside my heart
I never thought I’d see you and think these kind of thoughts
I never thought … I never thought beyond

[Verse 2]
Who knew the path was the path we could never stay?
Who knew the past was the past that day?
Who knew the future would be so sad all day?
I never knew it would … it would go this way

[Verse 3]
I had a feeling I’d love you for always
I had a feeling I’d love you if you went away
I had a feeling my feelings would always stay
I should’ve known it would end—and I’d end up this way

[Chorus]
But I’m in love
I’m in love with you
I’m in love
I’m in love; it’s true

I’m in love
I’m in love with you
I’m in love
I can’t say bye to you

Carried Away (Song + Lyrics)

[Chorus]
I get so carried away
‘Cause you make my blues go away
I get so carried away
‘Cause you make my soul okay (2x)

[Verse 1]
I’ve been hiding all the butterflies away
I’ve been thinking of you night and day
Your smile makes the sunshine stay
Your smile makes the darkness fade

[Verse 2]
I’ve been thinking of you night and day
I’ve been hiding all my butterflies away
Your smile makes the sunshine stay
Your smile makes the darkness fade

[Verse 3]
Did you know? Did you know?
Did you know? Did you know?
Did you know? Did you know?
Did you know? Did you know?

[Bridge]
You
Are
All
Love

You
Are
All
Good

[Chorus]
I get so carried away
‘Cause you make my blues go away
I get so carried away
‘Cause you make my soul okay (4x)

[Chorus 2]
I just got carried away
‘Cause you took my breath away
I just got carried away
I just got carried away (2x)

I just got carried away …
