If you asked me
What I am thinking of now
I'd say soft lips
Beautiful finger tips
Clean nails
Clinging tightly
To a strong back
Running lightly
Through your hair
A piercing stare

I'd say two visions
A boy with a knife
A dead body in the backyard

I'd say galloping freely
Bareback with my love
Dropping my reins
Lifting my arms
Trusting
Being one

I'm thinking of you
Of love and hope and death
Destruction and Beauty
I'm thinking of freedom
The evils of this world
And everything that makes me smile

I'm thinking of falling in love again
I'm thinking of mourning my best friend
I'm thinking of how I don't know
What will happen

I'm thinking I'm scared utterly and completely
I'm thinking I'm braver then anyone will know
I'm thinking there's nothing I cannot do
Nothing I cannot overcome

I'd say there's tragedy
And hope
And mostly
There's me and you
And I'm think of what you do
To me
