Collecting


excuse me as I come on through with a drawstring bag 
I have started a special collection, see, of important things I have 

one day I may not have them, see, for life is so changing
and the way things flip and flop and are always rearranging 

so I walk around and people speak and tell me where they've been 
and I grab for feelings and memories too and place them all in

1 Samuel 20:30















How do I beg you not to leave me
When it is I who must walk away?

True and Strong

True and Strong

I used to think I loved you,
but I was so very wrong. 
I knew not a thing about real love;
and it's taken me this long. 

To realize what it really means,
and how it can get so strong. 
How it can be there through it all
between us all along.
