Whether under the sun or under the stars Whether close by or traveling far We'll lay out our blanket and eat our snacks Smile at each other then rest on our backs We'll reminisce about the past but only the best parts As we feel each other's love in our picnic of hearts
There are no actions you can take no choices you can make no words you can say no games you can play
That will invalidate how you feel
Even if you think you blew it I won't give up, we can work through it Give me time, give me space Then let us talk face to face
And I will listen to how you feel
Your feelings are valid and important I know how easy it is to forget it I hope in time you come to see How special you are to me
I care about you and how you feel
When the world is dark closing in with a heart of stone I want you to remember that I’m here You are never alone
When you make a choice some people may disagree others may not understand even the people you love
I'm not just here when you're happy I do love it when we smile together When we radiate joy that soon becomes contagious
Today was miserable Awful, horrible Everything went wrong It was the worst of days
Even when I feel scared or the many times I feel unprepared I want to open up, I want you to see The person I am, the real me
(For Lex, My Darling)
How could anyone hate you?
You stand up for those you love with a ferocity like no other You love with your whole heart with such passion that even I can tell
(For Helana)
With you, the world is less dark Less troubling, less dreary Your smile brings out the sun And ends a journey so weary
(For Lex and Rowan, my lovely beans)
My world exploded leaving me empty inside But you were there for me Always by my side
