a part –
that tripped out on your beauty
you innocence and care
the life you have led
the nature of your hair
and the dreams to which we are all wed

you took apart
my lego heart
not with intention
or malicious direction

i saved their embarrassment
and their blushes
i turned them into a film
but we never got to watch the rushes

flowers in your field
growing
like memories of an old friend

one day at a time
each day
facing new challenges
watching slowly

when does this process end?
when does this factory cease?
when do i find out?
when does it feel complete?

Counting Stars we sit here – counting stars and we sit here – talking about it all about relationships and…

pick me up
find me
work out who i am
ups and downs

i could have stopped right there
i could have sat down on the cold pavement
and the world collapse around me
