Home (RAC Mix) - Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros

“If you are a bird, then I’m a bird!” She said as she jumped into my arms.

“You’re such a dork, you know that?” I smirked.

She pouted, it was the most adorable pout I have ever seen. I couldn’t resist but smile every time she did.

“I know… but you like it.” Her long delicate fingers traced the outline of my lips.

I pulled her closer and tenderly whispered into her ear “Since I’m a bird, I’m going to swoop through the curves of your beautiful body and build a nest in your heart.”

“Home is wherever I’m with you.”

I feel empty. The light of my life was ripped away from me, leaving me in darkness. I can still smell hair jasmine-scented hair as we laid on top of the ruffled white linen bedsheets. I can still hear her angelic whispers as she counted the ways she loved me. I can still feel her touch that electrified every fiber in my being. And then I am snapped out of my reverie and I realize once more that she is gone from this world.

One summer morning, as the sunlight illuminated the freckles on her lovely face, I softly whispered into her ear “If you ever die, I would go to war with the heavens and kill God himself so I can bring you back and feel your tender lips pressed against mine once again.”

And so I will stay true to my word and travel to the heavens to fight for the one truly great thing in my life that has been stolen away from me. Nothing will stop me and anyone who dares to stand in my way will meet a true end.

Goodbye, and see you on the other side.

Eyes Wide Open - Gotye

For the special woman in my heart:

My eyes are finally wide open and I can see that you’re the only one for me. I’m abandoning past lovers who have lingered for far too long. I’m moving on with you into the unknown. Except I’m not afraid of not knowing what is going to happen, because I know whatever we do and whatever we become, it will be a worthy life-transforming experience. You bring a comfort to my life that I never had before. With you, the waters are calm and continually flowing. I never had to chase you, nor convince you, nor seduce you. We just naturally gravitated towards each other as if ordained by scientific fact. The universe keeps bringing us together in creative ways, sending little signs of how we are meant to be. I always sought to feel completely at peace with someone because I never cared for the roller coaster of emotions that exists in the realm of romantic movies. Conflict is not my thing, I don’t care for it nor seek it. And now I have you, my true embodiment of zen. I only want to focus on you, and you alone. Because, unlike with most women in my life, you enthrall me to no end. My eyes are wide open and I can see that our story is not a cliche forgettable Hollywood love story; which involves crying, desperate declarations of love, heartbreak, and heart-mending. Our story is quite the opposite, it’s actually a light-hearted Shakespearean comedy, which from the beginning to end, no matter what happens, it is the funnest and most profound time of our lives.

“We’re all in the same boat staying afloat for the moment.”

We Are Young - fun.

After a wonderful adventure throughout the city, we decided to end the night by venturing to my favorite spot in Central Park. Under the summer moonlight we trekked through the urban wilderness until I showed her this single bench inside a meadow filled with sky-high evergreen pine trees. The night was growing chilly, so I took off my red flannel shirt and carefully placed it around her.

“Mmm so warm. Your shirt smells like chocolate and summer rain.” She hissed as a smile crept across her sweet face.

We looked up and there we saw the stars shining brighter than we have ever seen before. “Oh my, how are the stars so bright in the middle of the city?” She said with awe in her delicate voice.

I smiled. “It’s because the stars shine for you.” I said as my index finger pointed to her heart.

Her eyes twinkled along with the impressive cosmos above. Everything was so perfect that we couldn’t help ourselves but make wild passionate love right at that moment.

“We can burn brighter than the sun.”

Giving Me A Chance - Gotye

The sun was creaking through the window after an entire morning of love making. Our faces glowing with the after-effects of ecstasy.

She hastily sat up with a sudden urge to ask me something. Her fingers intertwined with mine and I looked upon her beautiful brown eyes expectantly. She asked “How much do you love me?”

I slowly gazed upon her divinely shaped body and her heavenly face. “How much do I love you? If I count the freckles throughout your body, that would be how much I love you.”

And so I counted for twenty minutes and the number was exactly a hundred and forty-two.

I kissed her on the forehead and tenderly whispered “A hundred and forty-two, that is how much I love you.”

“You know I love you more than anyone.”

Dark Paradise - Lana Del Rey

On a spring morning we ventured far away from our urban lives with only three things; a bottle of bourbon, silky bed sheets for love making, and hand-rolled tobacco. We found the perfect spot with the snow-covered mountains in the distance and a small stream trickling down nearby. The smell of smokey bourbon fresh from Kentucky filled the air as we drank from handmade jars and smoked our tobacco. I traced the outline of her soft lips as I sang a sweet song.

She asked me “Where is that song from?”

“My grandmother taught me this song and she told to me to sing it whenever happiness consumed my heart.” I responded as my fingers made little circles on the crook of her neck and breathtakingly feminine collarbones.

She was flustered and I couldn’t help but smile because it was the most adorable thing I have ever seen. I took my hands, rugged by years of exploring the outdoors, placed it by the small of her back and pulled her in tightly. I gently move the hair on her face, gazed deeply into her captivating eyes, and placed my lips upon hers.

“I can taste the joy on your lips” She whispered as her hands laid upon my hairy chest.

I tilted my lips towards her tiny ears and as she felt my breath I whispered “I can fell the tremble in your knee.”

And then we made passionate love as night fell throughout the sky. Feeling our heartbeats in synchronicity as I stirred a storm inside her pulsating affections.

Then we laid naked as the fireflies lit up the air surrounding us. A cold spring night breeze blew by. She shivered. I wrapped my arms around he until we were entirely intertwined and I tenderly whispered “If I could crawl inside your heart and light up a fire, would you let me?”

“No one compares to you.”
