~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Early in the night

Every part of me died, drowned

Inside your blue eyes

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This one is dedicated to my little guy, who was born a little past midnight on the 4th of June and completely changed my life.

It is safe to say that no part of me feels the same as it was before his birth.

Some people believe that all babies have blue eyes because of their lack of melatonin. It is not true. With roughly 20% of babies worldwide having blue eyes at birth, they are far from the majority.

Yet the myth persists.
