I made myself quiet
I made myself dumb
I made myself fragile
I made myself small
All for you
Do you feel like a man yet?

The Feeling of Waiting
Watching time quickly slip through your fingers as it drags on forever.

The Sun
Have you seen traces of me in the shadows of strangers?
Have you fallen in love with them because they remind you of me?
Because I have, but none of them are you
Because you darling, you are the sun

Goodbye
I stand motionless at your feet unwilling to move, knowing I should go.
But you´re not home.
You never promised me anything and I can´t keep waiting for you to do.

Beggar
I deserve to be loved but I constantly find myself begging to be.

You
Wandering a desert and feeling the first drop of rain kiss my face.
Drowning in an endless ocean and coming up for fresh air.
Being color blind and opening my eyes to electric shades of wonder.
All I wished for standing in front of me saying ¨hello¨.

Painted Moments
My mind is filled with thoughts of you, like an ocean is filled with memories of those who dared sail the seas.
I wish I could drown out the sound, but everything I see screams of you and me; painted moments of a boy who ran wild and free.
Every word left unsaid remains with me, unwritten story of a beautiful boy I loved dearly.
Oh how I wish you had stayed with me.

Moving On
Taking a step towards a future you didn’t think you would have to know.
Walking away when you thought you had found it all.
Watching time heal those parts someone else broke.
Daring your heart to hope once more.

Starlight
Tell me your secrets darling, I won´t tell.
I confess that for me life could have ended by the starlight.
I didn´t mind that only the night heard what you had promised me; your lips were the only ones that knew me and that was enough.
So tell me your secrets darling.
Tell me that like a shooting star you fell and your heart landed next to mine.
Tell me this is what you dreamed of.
Until then, I don´t dare open my eyes.
