I've Missed

I’ve missed your smile
like a guest would miss staying awhile.
Think I’ll take off my coat
and make myself at home.
That is if you don’t mind?

I’ve missed your eyes
like the stars would miss the night.
I’ve missed your voice
like freedom would miss it’s choice.

HmmMmmMmmMmmMmm
Yeah I’ve missed you.

My heart missed your hands
like the ocean would miss its land,
like the horizon would miss its sunset,
like a canyon would miss its depth.

My ears missed your laugh
like a childs missed first breath,
like a traveler misses home,
like a lost soul needs to belong.

HmmMmmMmmMmmMmm
Yeah I’ve missed you.

I’ve missed your kiss
like a desert misses the rain,
like snow would miss Christmas,
like the moon would miss the waves.

I’ve missed your love
like below would miss its above,
like autumn would miss the leaves,
like summer would miss the beach.

HmmMmmMmmMmmMmm
Yeah I’ve missed you.

King of Hearts

My hands been dealt, the stakes are high.
All eyes on me, both critical and kind.
All cards on the table, my intuition - numb.
I regain confidence as the King of Hearts is found.

I’m done with second thoughts,
its "all or none".
My heart already up for the gamble,
what other sacrifices am I willing to make?
Winner takes all, yes, but I must consider the cost.
My face matches the games' namesake,
my assurance trembles with uncertainty.
Will these expectations be matched?
Can I survive the consequences?

This is life - it's a gamble - a blind bet.
Given the hand I'm dealt
I'm doing my best.
It's either "luck of the draw" or favored odds.
Nothing is certain or can be promised.
Perhaps, victory isn't reliant on good sets
but on my decision regarding
pursuit of happiness.

A gambling addict can lose everything
and reckless decisions end in pain.
But, through the unpredictability
I hold evidence of truth in my hand;
the King of Hearts already won my bet.

And so, I gamble.
And so, I pray.
And so, I live
with no regret.

Love Questions

This hurts so bad I miss the lonely when I’m alone.
I know what I had, now, after you couldn’t be more gone.
I’ve gone from wanting you back
to tryin’ not to give a damn.
Tryin’ to leave the pieces, and just move on.
I’ve been fallin’ apart and fightin’ mad,
Yeah, I’ve felt it all-but most of all,
I miss my best friend.

Did you know how much I loved you?
Did you know how much I loved you, baby?
I’d have given anything, every part of me.
I wish I could rewind and fight so I wouldn’t have lost you.
Baby, tell me, did you know how much I loved you?

Now, here I am tryin’ to make sense of it all;
we were best friends and now don’t even talk.
I know this is my fault.
I still remember the way you would kiss me
like our love was all we’d ever need,
but, then I broke our hearts.
I ripped our worlds apart.

Do you know how much I miss you?
Do you know that I still love you, baby?
I’d give anything, every part of me,
to show you how I’d love to love you,
to try again, to get back what I lost when I lost you,
I don’t doubt your consistency,
But I need to know, I need to hear you tell me,
Baby, do you still love me?

Have you changed your mind?
Well, I never changed mine…
I’m stronger now that I’ve climbed my walls
I know its all of you I want.

Will you let me prove how much I love you?
I have so much love waiting here for you, baby.
I’ll give you everything, every part of me,
I’ll show you how much I love everything about you
if you’ll try again, I’m in this to the end.
Baby, please tell me, will you let me love you?
