Laugh a little
It’s all it takes
To wake the happiness
Sleeping in your soul
Cry a little
To spill a few tears
And make some room
For sweeter thoughts
Love a little
To open the door
And show the world
Your beautiful heart
I Give Up
The part where my heart is breaking
Is the part I can’t endure
I give up on this broken love
I want to stop the pain
There is no happy ever after
Just memories of what could’ve been
Because the future isn’t meant
For the two of us to share
To the sweet or bitter end
Cold Autumn Days
there was a time when on cold autumn days
i would walk on fallen leaves
feel the chilly wind caress my hair
and stroll until comes the eve’
maybe sit a while to listen to a brook
draw a sketch or two or three
marvel at the vastness of the skies
and wonder what life held for me
still i long for days like that
a life with the slowest pace
the gentlest of times
as delicate as lace
