Hidden Memories

I packed you away 

In a little cardboard box

Hidden under my bed 

And you fit most perfectly

Just that way… Hidden from view.

…Yet always silently there…

I hid you-

You and your smiles,

Your gifts, and memories…

Everything about you.

Because I couldn’t take it…

I couldn’t take you anymore.

It hurt too much

So stay hidden In your cardboard box,

And perhaps you’ll fade…

…

Why kid myself?

I know you’re there…

I can feel your contents drawing me in

Drawing me closer to you.

But some memories haunt me-

Memories of you… Of ‘us’.

You rattle in your confined space

Singing in the night,

Pleading to me as I dream

To open you up, and look inside…

But I can’t do that… I won’t…

And slowly your song fades…

For there are other songs…

Other singers

Those who dream with me.

Purple Rain

I never meant to cause you any sorrow

I never meant to cause you any pain

I only wanted one time to see you laughing

I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain

I never wanted to be your weekend lover

I only wanted to be some kind of friend, hey

Baby, I could never steal you from another

It's such a shame our friendship had to end

Purple rain, purple rain

I only wanted to see you bathing in the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

I only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain

Honey, I know, I know, I know times are changin'

It's time we all reach out for something new, that means you too

You say you want a leader, but you can't seem to make up your mind

And I think you better close it and let me guide you to the purple rain

If you know what I'm singin' about up here, come on raise your hand

I only want to see you, only want to see you in the purple rain

Meet Me in Summer?

This is what I look like today

And I'm trying not to pull out my hair

I'm trying hard to grow it

But I'm far too shy to show it back there

That's probably why I like wearing hats

There's no denying, I'm deferring the facts

Avoiding confrontation

Lacks tact in a situation

Behind every line is a lesson yet to learn

But if you ask me

The feeling that I'm feeling is overwhelming

And oh, it goes to show

I've so much to know

I wrote this for my prettiest friend

But while trying not to prove that I care

I was trying not to make all my moves in one motion 

And scare her away

She can't see she's making me crazy now

I don't believe she knows she's amazing how

She has me holding my breathe

So I'd never guess 

That I'm a none such unsuitable, 

Suitor for her?

And if you ask me

The feeling that I'm feeling is complimentary

And oh, it goes to show

The moral of the story is boy loves girl

And so on but the way that it unfolds 

Is yet to be told

I know that I should be brave

Even pretty can be seen by the blind

I know that I cannot wait until the day we finally learn 

How to find each other redefining open minds

And if you ask me

The feeling that I'm feeling is overjoyed

And it's golden, it goes to show then

The ending of this song should be left alone

And so on, 'cause the way it unfolds 

Is yet to be told
