Songbirds

the swingsets swinging and the songbirds singing

and i can't help but remember when we sat there together

with your legs rocking back and forth and toes scrunching up

my hand in your hand, you looked up and said

"baby, i love you like no one loves anything

and take me forever, just take me forever

and we'll be together, as long as i'm yours and i promise it'll all be alright"

i said "sweetie don't worry, i'm already yours nothing can come between us"

and the songbirds still singing so i started dancing

and you couldn't help but smile at me

the laughter and joy brought us together

the love for each other kept us together

and i walked you home, even though the weather was unsure of what it would be

when we arrived at your house you asked me to come in

and i was so damn nervous, i tried keeping my distance

trembling fingers, and when you moved up to kiss me

i think for a second it killed me

i gave you a flower completely in bloom

and you started dancing didn't stop till you were tired

and i couldn't help but smile and we laid on your bed

and we both feel asleep together.

the sunlight playing readily across your face

the swingset swinging and the songbirds, still singing
