waking up one morning i find you sitting on the balcony a cup of coffee in one hand staring at the light blue sky
watching the teardrops slowly turning the a sweet cup of coffee into a salty concoction i call out your name
receiving no response i make my way closer to you one look into your face makes it all clear
like a hunter chasing after a dove the past has once again caught up with you as strong as an elephant on the outside deep inside, you are still a tender little child
whatever i say whatever i do is just like a writing on the seashore when the next wave comes in, everything will be gone
slowly leaving the room i rush outside, in the early morning mist only to find the shops slammed shut too early to wake anyone up i scamper back home grabbing the only thing i could find scribble a note and slip it underneath the door
i can't fight the tears you are crying; i can't erase the past that you want to forget; but just like the sugar in your coffee i can sweeten up your life!
