Everywhere

I want to take you everywhere
All the places I've been
All the places I love
The places that shaped me
Made me who I was when I met you
So you can see what prepared me
What polished me

I want to show you
A me you've never met before
That you'd like to meet again
Someone you will appreciate more
Even if you appreciate me now
I'm not that very different at all
In any place or circumstance

I'm always the one you should love
The me you can discover more of
Little corners of me
Where you have never been before
All of those corners love you
Everything about you
Everything you are
Wherever you are

Everything

Come when you´re ready to stay
I´m waiting for you here
Everything and I are ready for you
I pray, I beg, I swear

I´ve been ready for a long time
I´m also ready now
Everything and I are ready
For everything that you allow

Don´t see it as a pleading
Nor as a desperation
See it more as a green light
A kind of confirmation

Of everything you must know already
About my feelings for you
Things you´ve seen in my heart and my eyes
The eyes you´ve often stared into

Even if you are miles away
You´re still everything I see
Everything, I´m ready for you
Come and stay here with me

Maybe Summer

Maybe this is a new beginning
The window that was opened
When somebody closed a door

Maybe the future is bright now
Our eyes are awake and open
To see what life has in store

Maybe the world is out there
Adventures are waiting for us
With memories made of gold

Maybe life can finally start now
It´s warm and the sun is shining
I feel ready to never grow old

Maybe this is what home feels like
Being wherever you are
Belonging is where we both stand

Maybe loneliness was extincted
When I realized love is the feeling
Of forever holding your hand

Maybe this is pure happiness
Knowing we can become
Two persons in just one soul

Maybe this is the end of
A cold eternal winter
Maybe you´re my summer, my all

Captain of My Soul

In despair I´ve sought You
The hand I need to hold
The embrace whose space I crave

The strength I need to cling to
The hope to have as stepstone
At the bedside of my grave

Where old things are done away
And all things become new
I have sought You

The words I need to hear
The comfort I can´t find
This pain I myself can´t undo

They´re all stuck here
In the prison of my heart
Where I feel chained up like a slave

You´re my only freedom
Without You I´m locked out from
Everything I need to be whole

And all this time You were inside of me
Guiding, steering, protecting me
Always the Captain of my Soul

Woundrous

My days I had with you
Were the greatest of my life
Now they are but a scar

Nobody can see it
But every year in September
It's once again left ajar

Since the day I lost us
I've been this lonely poet
Bleeding words for you

I died and was born again as I learned
That it takes a lot more than illusion
For someone to love you too

Even if time is a healer
Every year I bleed new words
'Cause woundrous is still what you are

The Loneliest Road

Empty or emptiness
What will it be
What will become of us

I'm pushing and pulling
Because we are the same
I don't want one more loss

I think it's worth trying
If we give it a chance
The future's everything but dark

We can know each other
By talking the talk
And be willing to walk the walk

The loneliest road
We can ever take
Is the one that leads us apart

Do we really want love
Merely face to face
Or do we want it from heart to heart

From heart to heart
There are stories to tell
And many to be written still

So baby, let's write one
That is only ours
There are many pages to fill

Hearts, souls, and stories
Should not be alone
Neither should you and I

Empty or emptiness
The feeling's your choice
Tell me hello or goodbye

Seasons

In every season there is love
Just like every love has its seasons
And I have loved each one of them

For so many reasons

I've loved whether there was sunshine
Despite rain, snow, and dim
And of all of the seasons I've lived through
My favorite season was him

But when spring comes with feelings of love
Don't wait for summer with great expectation
Because seasons they don't love you back
And he was no exception
