river of life

So this one is very personal. The person who this is about might see that it is about them, but I won't know until they read it and then talk to me. We'll see.


And you appeared as if from nowhere
wearing nothing on your feet and your
silk dress running
all the colours mixed in
with your eyes
who would forget such a
beautiful person
I am drawn to you like fire

life hands me a chance and I betray myself
I abandon hope, embrace this hell
I'm keeping things inside and I know you can tell

and the river flows on without me
just like I want it to
oh, instead of being washed out to sea
If I could just swim with you

and I'm deluded in my dreams
the only thoughts that please
improbability embraced
all the colours mixed in
with your eyes
if I could delight such a
beautiful person
then happiness I've found

life handed me a chance and I failed us
and there's no-one more I trust
I'm keeping things inside and I wish I could tell you

to let the river flow along within you
just like I want it to
oh, if I could swim with you
If I could be alive...
with you
"this one, anytime I say love if you wanna say love, uh, say it, and if you say it you might as well say it loud, and if you don't feel like sayin' it, don't say it, but if you feel it, certainly say it..."

    it'll work out, keep believing.. it's like faith is a sixth sense that we're to stupid to see and scientist(majority) are to arrogant to follow... believe! It's like if it's meant to happen it will... it will!
