Better, Softer.

I know he says my name
The way he would any other
Just like the sun is always there
No matter cloud, or stormy weather
Still, when he says my name
All the same
My day's a little better
Life's a little softer

A gentle breeze, ruffles feathers
As long as those birds are up there flying
My mind's at ease, nothing really matters
Unless I let it

He handed me my coffee
The way he would any other
I get mine with one sugar
They say it's bad these days
But ying is in yang
And yang is in ying
And I think you need
Small doses of everything
Even the bad times, the ugly times
So you can know the good ones
When things taste sweeter
And the heart softly hums...

A gentle breeze, my thoughts wander
As long as those birds are up there flying
My mind's at ease, nothing really matters
Unless I let it

He has drawings on his arm
Not like any other
His eyes are sincere
And would drown any tear
You ever thought to shed
At least, when he blinked
That is what my mind read
Could I ever tell him though?
And this is where my mind fears to tread

Isn't it funny
My own ego
Would have me throw
Getting to know
Him away
Pride and fear
Fear and pride
In it resides

Our own human riddle:
That often, to our own truth
We play the second fiddle

Well perhaps today
I will not play
I will choose heart over mind
And let it risk turning blue for him one day?
Who's to say?

Not I, not now
I'm still fighting the fear
To free the 'how'

As for today, it is raining
As he says my name
The way he would any other
And the sun is actually there
In spite of these clouds and stormy weather
And as he says my name
All the same
My day's now a little better
Life's now, a little softer.
