How Love Feels...

Bluebells @ Badbury Clump

Walking with my girl around Badbury Clumps the other day was so utterly beautiful. When the woods erupt into this carpet of bluebells every spring, it feels like one has been offered the most wonderful secret.

For a short period of time it becomes one of the most beautiful places on earth ~ especially when you are walking with someone you love...

For Amy (Honest & Raw First Take Version)

I'm never one to let love get away,

And honey you cut your beauty through the day,

When I awoke I saw an innocent child,

And when you spoke I knew that we'd be alright yeah...

As sprightly as my heart I worked my way to you,

Fumbling with a hundred words and opening with two,

And when you spoke I saw an innocent child,

And when I awoke I knew that we'd be alright yeah...

When I left that day my shadow did remain,

Watching over you and keeping you from pain,

And every day I saw an innocent child,

When I returned I knew that we'd be alright yeah...

I could feel the grains running through my hand,

But you cupped your own and helped me understand,

And in my mirror I saw an innocent child,

And you smiled at me and said "we'll be alright"...

To~the~symphony~of~the~rain,

We~laughed~as~the~gods~cried~out~in~envy,

And~the~stars~wept~silver~tears,

Caught~in~the~cupped~hands~of~our~midnight~lake~of`~June...
