Every Little Thing – Written Approx. Late 1993 or January 1994 (Aged 18)

Every Little Thing

Every little thing
you ever wanted—
if I would,
I would have to
give to you.
Every little thing
you say
is not wasted;
it is cherished
and stored
in my mind
just for a rainy day.
Every little memory
I have of us
is the most precious
memory
that I have—
because when
I am down,
I use it
to set my depression
free.
Because when
you are not around,
I am so lonely.
Every little thing
that I have—
from my valuable
feelings
to my worthless
possessions—
they are all yours.
With us,
we are always
doing well,
opening magic doors
and escaping hell.
Every little thing
you do
is so very special;
it is why
I need you.
Every time
fate is cruel,
I need you so—
every little thing
I know,
every little thing
you do.

James Garratt – 1993/1994
