Your Kiss

Your kiss is one of the best

Your love for me is stronger than most

Your hugs are forever savored

Your smile brightens my heart

I actually miss you, dear

I wish to hold your lovely hand

I wish to hear your laugh

I long to see your eyes pierce my soul

You talk with joy

You run with glee

You sparkle on the outside for all to see

You sing with beauty

I knew I'd miss you

You seem so far away

So long ago

Like a dream in passing

Ah, to hold you in my arms one last time

To hear you whisper in my ear

To see you spin in your new dress

To see you run out the door and hug me

Dear, little girl

I'll always remember you

Always love you

And, right now, I really miss you

Make You Jealous

Sometimes I wish I could make you jealous the way you make me jealous

Jealous of time spent not with me

I feel lonely though I am with people all the time

I am sad though I have paradise out my front door

'Cause all I want is you

Pals

 

We were pals first.

I Need You

 

Sometimes when I'm talking to someone, and we're fighting about something

I really just need your hugs

Sometimes when I feel alone and forgotten, and things aren't going too well

I really just need you by my side

When the things I fight within are trying to take over, and I feel sad

I really thank you for being around

And when I don't want to talk to anyone else, and I'm sort of mad

I'm glad I have your little hand in mine

I love you, Quinny.

Too Cool

 

Sometimes I'm pretty sure you might be too cool for me. 

Always Laughing

 

I love to see what gets you goin'

It's usually yourself

And, boy! When you do get goin', it makes me laugh, too

Your mouth gets big, your eyes disappear, you can't stop

I love it

Little Quinny

 

A love

A laugh

A twinkle in her eye

A smile

A song

A wiggle of her rump

Tender little hands clasp mine

Tiny little feet walk by

I see you across the yard

And run into my arms

My favorite little Quinny

Workin' Hard

My legs kinda hurt, but that's all good 'cause workin' hard feels good.

It hurts but it's a good kind of hurt. 

When you been workin' hard, boy does it feel good to rest. 

I'm Sorry I Can't

I'm sorry I can't please you all the time any more.

I'm sorry I can't do whatever you ask me.

I'm sorry I always make bad choices and stink when I come home from work.

I'm sorry I didn't stay long enough but then stayed too long.

I'm sorry I chose the wrong man.

I'm sorry I can't seem to make you happy.

It's rough on me, too, sometimes, but I know we all just want what's best. We just seem to disagree on what that it. 

Maybe I'm sorry I'm not her anymore. 

That Lonely Winter

 

Some things just stick in your memory and don't go away. The year I got my foot cut open is one of those things. I felt so lonely stuck up there in bed or on the couch. Nothing to do, but mainly no one to love. Yeah, that's when it hit me full force just how much I wanted someone to love. 

Some things take patience. Some things don't happen right when we want them to. Some times we have to go through lonely winters first before we get the treasure. Some times the wait is long, but the end result is well worth it.

So, I'm glad for my loneliness because now I have you.

Sittin' There

Sometimes I'm sittin' there feelin' sort of alone. I start thinkin' and wonderin', and mainly I'm thinkin' about you. I know where I'd rather be, and it ain't purgatory, rock climbing, the library, or whatever other random things you could think of. 

I'd rather be with you.

You is not the cat by the way. 

In Good Company

I'm in good company when I'm with you.

3 O'clock

It's 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I'm runnin' around tryin' to get as much done before the party arrives. 

My feet are tired. I'm tryin' to think of what I need to do next. I do one thing, and while I'm doin' it, I think of the next thing to do. But, alas, as soon as I'm finished, I think, "Now what was that thing I was gonna do next?"

I want everyone to feel at ease and comfortable and at rest. But, sometimes it's hard to make everyone happy. 

For these short hours, I have the house to myself. I make the most of it. No one to bother me. No one to ask me annoying questions. No one to answer to. Just me and the house and gettin' stuff done.

This is what I was born for.

I've Missed You

 

You're not the little girl with the doggy outfit anymore.

You've grown up into a fun, crazy, smart young lady.

You'll always be my little sister, but now you're my dear friend.

I have really missed you while you've been gone. 

The house is boring without you. 

Soaring

 Stuffed up 

I want to go soaring

Closed in

I want to find my wings

Shut down

I want to go flying

Turned off

I want to find the sky.
