green eyes leaking milk
I can’t let him see
I need you, darling
I need you so much
I need you to say I’m yours
I want to be the man
Of your dreams
But I am just a green eyed lady
The gravity of the moon cannot change this tide
I want to be your man
Cause I’m so madly
In love with you, baby
With your sweet brown eyes
And honey smile
Glowing all midnight sunshine in my heart
I wanna be your home away from home
I need you
Do you need me too?
I do not think so. Maybe not in this way…
I was once your lemon balm
I wanna be your sweet lover
And husband
And to hear that
You need me as much I as need you

Dear best friend
Hello my dear! I listened to All Too Well and I truly loved it. A very beautiful song. I am working on a sequel right now to Bexley and also I am trying to get my other stories published but haven’t heard anything back yet. I’m doing ok. It’s been really stressful and terribly hard but it’s gotten a little better.

The Golden Valley
The difference between light and dark could be as quick and simple as a flip of a switch, the drawing of a curtain, the opening of one’s eyes. It could be more gradual like the slow adjustment of the diaphragm on a microscope, the turn of a planet on its axis, the growing light as you approach the end of a tunnel. A flicker in the dark, a steady glow in the distance, a flash in the night sky.

"I was once your lemon balm," I luv that line. A great poem.

The angst and longing drive home with every line. Very nicely done.
