Of Under A Willow Tree
Its the simple things that flood my mind:
 The color green, a hand in mine.
 The shortest time was so divine.
 I think now I have found the line.
 
 The first time that we met was June,
 Under the light of a waxing half moon.
 Marine Core blues, and a woeful tune;
 Played on repeat - till midnight since noon.
 
 We loved in the city, then returned to town.
 These memories do weigh me down.
 These are the things that haunt me now:
 Remembering when I see you around.
 
 Its the hairline fractures that fell the wall,
 And the smallest blades cut worst of all.
 From higher up comes a longer fall,
 And I'd let myself climb mighty tall.
 
 I know now to always trust my brains,
 Because my heart cannot manage the reins.
 It's led me down too many rugged lanes,
 And I don't need deal with all these pains.
 
 I remember my dreams of under a willow tree,
 And I free my heart from the ropes that bind me.
 With every word, I feel a little more free,
 And I remember who I am, who I will always be.
