Dalia Butterfly

You sleep...
A more angelic face I haven't seen

You sleep...
...

My heart has beaten a million beats of love
For every memory we’ve ever made
And with every bead of sweat from my skin
Poured another passionate night spent in our bed
...

I left home decades ago
And traveled far away
To land in this cultural melting pot
...

The world was on fire
No one could save me but you.
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I’d meet somebody like you
...

That morning when we met
Sun was bright quite a bit
And your eyes were oh so lit
I knew you
...

Thinking of you
Wanting you near
Why are you far
When needed here
...

Few things make me sadder
Then seeing you suffer
As you fight this endless battle
Inside your head
...

Your skeptic nature
Your cynical streak
Is what I fell in love with
...

Today I am 30, and here is what I have gained in life

I had a tremendous childhood that taught me about confidence, friendship, family, religion, war and politics.
...

Got that feeling again
That’s same feeling that always seems
to come back at the wrong time.
I’m lonely. I miss you.
I feel so empty inside. Am I fooling myself?
