Hopefully my island will be the one I wanted it to be
Built around virgin milestones to be the one I wanted it to be
Sounds that I have learnt
Sounds that I recall but I've never heard
Write for me my biography
To tell the things I never got to be
Simple things like Islands
Simple things like feeling safe with me
While most of this was silent o
Most of it was slow for me
Building up my island saves me from idle mistakes
Being gay for celebration saves me from this disappearing trace
And I used to wake up and be disappointed
That all the things I wanted to be were slow for me and my island
But stay true in your bandaged way
Tonight my friend and i treated ourselves to a wonderful dinner, just because, and had some needed face time. the conversation was flowing...a little of me, a little of her... some past tense, some future tense....we talked about the new Dappled Cities album and what the songs meant to us in our present tense... for dessert we shared the best banana cream pie with a brownie crust this side of the mississippi..i am full, happy, and tired....tonight i am very content with ALL OF IT. thanks for your love and support Badger...
ps..one of the lines we discussed was a part that says "measure my distance from the sun, and times it by your distance from the sun." Now Badger if you read this, which im sure you will, the name of the song is The Answer is Zero.... does it mean then that the distance may seem far away but its not? think of how our past, present, and future tense all relate to one another... they seem so far away, but really the distance is nothing at all.... its Zero.
