Courage

The light keeps blinking blue,
I want red.

my patience sits
my heart has no door
"I am here for you"
"I am here for you"
"I am here for you."

whether it's stupid or wise
it's what I do:
I love
I just
love.

no, really
I am beautiful
I am smart
I am funny
and a little too sensitive
but that's how I love so well

And no, for the millionth time
my friends,
I do not need a man
I do not need a man

I want one.

And there is a big difference.

the risk of loving this big
is that no one will have the courage
to accept all they are given
to surrender

I will love fiercely
I will love with laughter
I will love with fire

I will love with
the waters of the monsoon

Who will be my King?

Who has the courage?

If I Were There (song)


If I were there.

If you were here.

I'd take your hands.

I'd call you "dear."

But in Italian,

because that's what we do...

I'd press my lips to yours

and say "I love you."



If I were there.

If you were here.

I'd shed a tear

but have no fear.

You'd hold me close

so safe I'd feel

We'd do what's true..

we'd share what's real.
