Hey....

I was listening to Death Cab for Cutie songs and I got in the writing mood. I remember listening to "My Mirror Speaks" and "A Diamond and A Tether" when I was hungover about not being able to talk to this girl in my previous class. Ahh! She was a beauty that girl. But tonight I first listened to "Marching Bands of Manhattan" then I listened to "Someday You Will Be Loved". The combination quenched the yearning feeling inside me so I was really uplifted by it. So I started to think and words came to my mind. This is what came out:


He stood there unshaken as a heartbroken girl cried. With sympathy he spoke to her before he left. "Not me but someone else will love you. You'll place your heart in his hands as he gives you his word. You'll decorate the house with memories and pictures as the years lengthen. The cradle will rock and cry but he will answer in your stead. And by his side you shall lay to perish. Not today, but someday you will be loved."

The soft touch of Morning

I stayed awake that night to see the sunrise.  "Rest baby, it's been a long day" I told my darling as she fell asleep in the midnight hour.  Outside the sky was an opaque blue, sunlight beaming into my window, and puffy clouds.  I had a lot of questions and words to say but...I kept them for kind ears. I felt a sense of peace gazing deeper into the serene sky. So I returned to bed where my beloved slept and laid down by her tender side.
