Fickle Dreams

I dreamt of a girl I could love
We met in a little cafe
It was a McDonalds before
She made it into something unique

We discussed her past boyfriend
A man I knew very well
About his quirks and habits and failings
It was filled with a scornful pity

Then I made the odd compliment
And she leaned in against my shoulder
And before I fully knew what happened
We were lost in each others lips

But then like all good dreams
Time slips away
And we had to go if we were to
Catch our yoga class

So we ran from here to there
Running into every distraction
And by the time we reached the theatre
She was someone else

My Pledge

Time to waste my time
And find out who I am
To risk the fragile heart
In the pursuit of being weathered
I will make this future mine
With every day that passes

Who Knows?

If you told me
That I could have the perfect girl
as a friend and a lover
if only I asked.

On a clear moonlight night,
I would laugh and drink my wine

On a windy summer night,
I would just smile

On a bleak and heavy night,
I would call her for the company

On a stormy winter night,
I would cry alone

I'm as consistent as the weather
A wild and weary soul
I think I'll settle down one day
But even that I do not know.
