“Lifeline (always you Aubree)”
completed on 7.10.24

​i’ll keep looking for flowers 
if you keep your eyes on the clouds
i’ll always help you reach for the stars
if only to show you this life’s beauty

​i’ll do anything to help you
it’s easy to explain why
’cause this life is darker when you’re away
the sun ​fades behind the clouds without you

that smile ​that lights up my face
is always harder to find without you
and the second hand ​always slows
whenever​ i’m not with you

​not sure when i can say this
but i hate every second without you 
’cause ​i dream up clever distractions 
but they ​never come close to you

​’cause ​my future’s always brighter 
on days I spend with you
memories on my phone ​will​ never do
you are the only thing that’s true

​and I’ll keep treading water 
i’ll be the boat to keep you afloat 
since you, I no longer need 
anything ​else supporting me

​even when the ground ahead​’s shaking
i’ll always be your guide
always be by your side
so you’ll never feel alone

Forever Young

“Forever Young”
completed on 6/5/11

they say that you’re too young
to know what love’s about
but you believe with your whole heart
he’s earned the right to steal your heart
i wish that everyone loved like you
’cause it would make this world a better place

they say that they’re concerned
that they have learned more of life’s lessons
that they have your best interests
saying you need more time to grow up
but when every day could be your last
they need to spend a day in your shoes
because you treasure every moment
and believe that love should guide your life

and they may never understand you
but i support you because i’m a dreamer too
don’t ever let this world harden you
or else you will think the way that they do

you have faith in happy endings
and that’s what makes you unique
i would give everything i have
to live the love that you do
