Simple

I want something simple
Someone to hold my hand
Like when I was little
When we would cross the street
They wanted me safe
They wanted me close
They wanted me
Or when my brother was little
I would hold his hand
Because he wanted to be safe
He wanted to be close
He wanted me
When someone holds your hand
It's because they want you safe
They want you close
They want and love you
That is what I want
Someone to want me safe
Someone to want me close
Someone to want me

Something Strange

Something strange
About when you hold my hand
You probably don't think twice about it
But it's interesting
How comfortable you seem around me
How hard you try to impress me
How much you want me to like things
Like everything you do
You want my approval
It's strange
Yet somehow seems...nice

One Wish

If I had one wish
That wish would be
For you to stay forever with me
Within our house
Within our home
And you would never need to roam
Because you'd have me
And I'd have you
And it would be nice
With just us two
And by my side you'd forever stay
Never wanting once to stray
And neither of us would ever be lonely
If I were scared, you would hold me
And I would do the same for you
And it'd be nice just us two
Yes, if I had one wish to see
It'd be forever you and me

Space

Sometimes at night
When I'm alone
And the moon shines through the window
When I'm aglow from white light
All is quiet and calm
I think about space
What it would be like
To just float endlessly on
To not be living
But neither be dead
Just to exist
Just to be here
Or there
Or everywhere
Or nowhere
To be part of space
Something larger than myself
I think of my native ancestors
What did they think
When gazing at the moon
Did they imagine life
Crops and growth
Hunting and fishing
Death and cycles
Or did they too
Even then
Think of floating endlessly
Just existing
