Melancholy

A Snowy Day

I remember happier times
A cold night on a hill
Awake till the sun rose
Greeted by it's warmth
And your smile

Nights we spent alone
Wandering aimlessly about
Wanting nothing more
Than the words we spoke
And the company

I remember a cold christmas
When I couldn't let you go
And there you held me
We never said a word that mattered
There was no need

Looks in the dark
Smiles in the morning
A hug when it rained
Times have changed

The weight of this stuff
Oh, how it bends
Our backs and knees
Our calloused hands are cracked
From the work

Yet there you are
Radiant and beautiful
And I'm ok, there's no need
To worry about things
It's just us.



Smoking Alone

And I'm so sad without you,
like a blues song,
with long, syncopated rhythms
and a sad tune.
like walking on a rainy day
or on a snowy day in April
when you wish there was sunshine
but there isn't.

All these other girls are bland,
like stale cake
or old ice cream from the fridge
no one is like you
with that childish smile
and eyes like a starry night
and all the cliche things
that lovers say.

but maybe we are the cliche
but that's alright
I'm glad I'm lonely and nostalgic
without you
I wouldn't have it any other way
so i'll go to bed alone
for one more night
and pray I dream of you

For dreams are close to reality
but we're not quite sure
so for now it's good enough
for you to be half real
half here
half in my arms
half kissing me
I'll sleep in extra late
and make it last longer.
