welcome to new york
birds can be heard
flying over the
crystal blue water
on a morning
in late may
two souls will meet
destined to effect
change in another's
life that come to
the city in hopes
for a new one
dancing all around
as sun fades down
it's the start of the
new beginning neither
saw coming but it was
entirely meant to be
blank space
until they bumped into
each other on the street
corner of 9th Ave and W 58th St
they never knew a piece
of their soul was missing
before their eyes locked
that day in may
smiles appear as green
eyes stare into blue
they had pasts with
other lovers that should
never reappear
guilt for her
lonely for him
the moment their eyes met
they never wanted to say
goodbye watching the clouds
float to the stars
style
the city buzzes
as madness begins
dancing to songs
without words
red lips match
her finger tips
they never let go
of this magical moment
time had stopped
no ticking clocks
connection too strong
to explain with simple words
out of the woods
on the tracks
captured in photographs
exploring up north
stressful december
smiles are kept
from that day
wanting to move forward
without saying goodbye
fights were loud
peace was settled
sun rose in the city
no trees to be found
all you had to do was stay
roses awaited her
on a february morning
sitting on her doorstep
petals with snow from
the night before
I'm sorry for
letting you down.
Wil you stil love me
when I'm not around?

looking down the busy
street she reflects on
moments she'd rather
erase from her memory
as the city wakes up
she stares at the roses
wondering how beautiful
moments could cause so
much pain looking back
shake it off
riding in a taxi
towards downtown
two souls remain silent
in the back seat
not knowing how to shake
off this feeling but
both desperately want to
the music plays
they speak without words
knowing in moments
they will be loving once more
dance floor filled with lovers
as they hold onto each other
shaking the past away
with every step they take
I wish you would
daydreaming while
staring at faded stars
against the light
of the night
wishing on all
the stars she would
show up on the street
below ready to forgive
the fight he'd already
forgotten about
bad blood
when things are good
the bad lingers ahead
not ready to accept
the past as time stops
and lives leave
reminder of what was
when they didn't stab
each other with
hateful comments
tears roll down her face
leaving in a rush
thinking how the wounds
will mend themselves
wildest dreams
her smile fades
into view
dreaming of sunsets
driving away from
the pain
running through
sunflower fields
laughter fills the
summer air
waking up tangled
in sheets
as time stands still
once more
moments without mess
not wanting to leave
the place they made them
see they're meant to be
see they're meant to be
how you get the girl
hard times end
words are forgotten
kissing on cheeks
as fall leaves match
the red on her lips
reminding each other of
their magical beginning
wanting forever
to be together
this love
hands hold each other
morning air blows in
silence lives in
it's own universe
but communicates
freely between them
coming back took
patience not clocked
knowing silent
moments without words
said is the mark left
on the mind of smiling faces
drifting to sleep
I know places
people want
everything
they wanted
nothing
realizing their love
is a candle that could
be blown out with
one breath blown
ships must sink
fighting to stay afloat
birds all around
clean
they loved
they faught
they left
in the end
on a may day
like the day they met
standing on the same
street corner
rain falling
she could breathe
freely on her own
two years
washes away
with every drop
that falls
accepting what was
truly meant to be
