GOING HOME

Going Home
Makes me sad
I don't want to feel so bad
Mike is sweet
he makes me feel complete
I wish I could stay here
Oh that would be a treat
But alas
This too shall pass
And then I can start my new life
In paradise, by Michael's side
With matching boots and matching stride
With so much joy and love and pride
That's how it will be
But first I must go home.



HOW I FEEL

Full of love and laugther
Happily ever after

But first a small reality check
Responsibilities must be met

A day of travel away from Cali
back to Madison where there's a tally

Of all the things I have to do
Until I can find my way back to you

Here in Cali is where I'll leave my heart
Until you and I can make a new start

We will make love and play
Hike in the woods or on the beach everyday

Plan together, work together
Play together, be together

And never take for granted
These initial feelings that we both planted



RED-EYE

Switched my flight
Now I can stay

For one more beautiful wonderful day

With my baby
He drives me crazy

In a super fantastic delightfully good way



I WISH

I didn't have to go
I wish I could stay
I wish I knew
What will BE after this day
Not exactly
Because no one knows that
But a hint would be nice
Do I have what it takes
Am I on the right track?
Can I do my part to make this work?
Or will one or both of us end up hurt?
I guess that is a chance I have to take.
Because the alternative is to not try to make
A life, a home, a new start
And that would not be true to my heart
So I guess my mind is made up
I have no choice but to stand up
And be me, live my life, follow my bliss
Which means, Cali, here I come 'cause all I want is THIS.
