In My Gentle Woods

(•~<•>~•)

I dream about making you some mint tea,

and watching you smile so fantastically free,

and playing you a piano song that I wrote just for you,

but, from other admirers, I’m sure you’ve already heard a few.

You’re like Sia swinging on a chandelier,

but with far more class and finesse.

You probably like tall men that are 6’4 at least,

who have dark hair and who are mature looking.

I don’t blame you one bit.

I dream of someone just right for you.

I’ll be a far-away-prayer-warrior,

on the other side of the world,

thinking wonderfully dramatic thoughts,

in my cabin house in the gentle woods.
