I Will Marry You

Girl, I will marry you
Because even when we barely speak
Over leftovers for dinner lit by noisy screens
We say "I love you" without words
And every song I've ever heard
Becomes about the way you look at me

Girl, I will marry you
For you have seen me at my worst and never turned away
Half a man marked by the worries of a hundred men
Heart cracked and chipped by former false romance
Yet you always find a place for me in your embrace
And keep patient as you put the pieces back in place

Girl, I will marry you
Because to betray you is to betray myself
For you have carried me when I couldn’t walk
And you took me further than I'd ever hoped
Though the fire of our love may not be fierce like before
It has transformed our being into so much more
Two souls entangled in eternal dancing slow

Girl, I will marry you
For you have shown me more than I could ever see
You were always strong when I couldn’t be
So when I lay at night right next to you
I listen to your quiet snore and marvel at your grace
And I dream to be a man that one day would be
Deserving of the smile on your face

Senses

Eyes are for girls on the street Strolling in late spring Scent's for the trace of perfume On moonlit bare skin Ears are for tuning old strings Before serenades Touch is for shoulders brushing On first movie dates Taste is for ice-cream scoop licks Because of course that it is! Legs are for walking slowly Except when you’ve got to run Lips are for kissing loved ones Except when sealed with sin Hands are for holding on tight Even when they're trembling Hairs are for waving in winds Even when graying and thin Your face is for catching sunlight When you’re breathing in.. - vktr

Girl on the Bus

The girl on the bus walks in in slow motion A sway in her hips with each bump in the road She looks for somewhere to sit, away from the heat You patiently wait for your reflections to meet The girl on the bus dresses only in white She’s lost in her thoughts with eyelids half-closed She looks through the window, the world gazes right back Making sure that her day is moving on track Because the girl on the bus has places to be And more fortunate people than you to meet And though she won’t hear it you whisper “goodbye” And forget all about her until the next time For your journey is long and the stations are plenty And the girl from the bus is out there somewhere patiently waiting.. - vktr

Dearest Friend

How wonderful it is to have a friend To illuminate your darkest hours With kind words spoken softly Or anecdotes in jest A brief warm touch A smile without context To let you know you matter Beyond the confines of yourself A friend that sees more in you Than you can ever find within They quickly learn your flaws But favour all your virtues To reveal what you only wish you could be If you were half the person that entails So, my dearest friend, know that I cherish you For lifting me in flight And though our time will surely pass As the wind scatters us across at night I’ll forever keep you in my heart And search for you among the stars... - vktr
