everyone loves the sun
the promise of summer
the sea and the waves
as long as they’re gentle
how to say that you’re like an open wound
that’s just supposed to heal
though you anticipate
has to stay open
got to try not sure how
the sea froze today
I sit at the shore and
watch the waves
they won’t move for a while
how to say
your smile lights up my rooms
is it love
does it matter
thousands of years pass
within fractions of a second
I blink my eyes
the world ends
and restarts again
yeah it’s strange
and when it’s beautiful
the rate still quickens
still asks where to hold on to
and where to hop off
the sea froze today
I sit at the shore and
watch the waves
they won’t move for a while
how to say
your smile lights up my rooms
is it love
does it matter
the clichés are real
only when they aren’t on the outside
I keep happiness
often to myself
how to say
your smile lights up my rooms
is it love
does it matter
