I Believe

Even if the sun's last rays touch my lips before your lips
And even if the sea's last waves caress the shore before
You touch my sides and this becomes something more and
Even if the birds don't sing and I lose faith in everything...
I'll still believe in you.

Even if you lock my tightly and store me in the ground,
Even if you take from me the moon, the stars, the sound...
You'll never take from me the feeling in my lungs
The vibration in my veins when you dropped me on cloud nine...
I'll still believe in you.

Even if you tear all of my muscles from my bones
And even if you destroy whatever's in my soul...
You'll always leave me the memories we had, because
Even if you pull from me everything I feel...
I'll still believe in you.

Even if I'll never touch your skin again,
And you ruing everything I've ever believed in,
Even if you pull away from me my confidence,
I'll always have the eloquence to say...
I still believe in you.

I asked

When I asked my lucky stars for love,
I did not think they'd give me you...
I wish I could have known before,
I wish I could have seen you.

When I asked the gods above for patience,
They did not listen once...
They took what I did have of it
And now I'm a bit lost.

When I asked demons for power,
They did not give me some,
They offered me bucket-fulls...
And I almost drowned!

When I asked the moon for beauty,
She smiled and became full...
She showed me something inside
That I almost have..

2012

As this year comes to an end, I think of you fondly...
Tears come to my eyes as I think back through the days
And each day of the calendar, with the X crossed through it
Reminds me, darling, of you.
As the sand drops through the hourglass, I think of life fondly...
For in my darkest days I had a roof over my head,
And constant wireless...
2012, my dear, was good... for it has brought us hope...
It raised our spirits through its laughter and now will not leave with it.
The next year, darling, will be good... full of cheer and change,
But changes for the better 'cuz we finished with the darkness!
As the clock winds down tonight, I think back through the year...
I see the good, the bad, the ugly... and I'm filled with laughter.

I must remind you, darling, though...
That 2013's bitter... it requires a new start...
It requires a new passion.
So find what it is that you want,
And make a resolution...
To laugh, to love, to find yourself...
And find it in your heartbeat.
