Jobs and Itunes

in your love, my salvation lies
in your love, my salvation lies
in your love, my salvation lies

in your love, in your love, in your..love

humming a tune
not known before
in your
life as you'd known it

stood beneath an
orange sky

these days
and nights
bought in exchange
for many a dreams
lost and shattered

i just feel
as if it's time
to pack and
leave

again

in transit

for the love of
brown eyes
and butter
and sanity

i will be found
again
when the locks
on my suitcase
are worn enough
and the souvenirs
from travels
stuck securely
to the fridge

when i have
home to come back to
and when friends
and the past
do not do this
on nights alone
in an empty house

the title now
makes sense
unintended
like the dent marks
we often put
on cars
and each other

in your love, my salvation lies

moonlit are the nights

gushing
and a lot of it

like the first
awkward moment
between you
and the one
you couldn't stop
thinking about
the night after
your first dance
you really did throw
your heels off
and dance like
a mad person

she tells you
how he still
gushes over
that one night
and inside
that eighteen-something-ness
takes over

you don't know
whether you wanna
turn old and grey
or stay right here
longing
and being longed for

summer songs
winter nights
monsoon rains
autumn leaves
and the colours
they bring

how many adventures
are you to bring
the smiles
and the tears
to continue
just don't
run out on me
