and so it is

to Isla, on valentine’s day

 
 when you phone me and i hear your laugh
 and i see you making a finger heart
 just like that, i am lost
 walking half asleep through life
 i suddenly see the light 
 and it keeps rising, filling my night


the luster in your eyes
are brighter than the smiling stars
when i hold your little hand
and you call me
or when i see you playing in the sand
it’s obvious, anywhere with you
feels just so right


when i think of you
everything comes clear
you changed the order of my life


maybe years from now
all these will be lost
when we’re much older
and in two different places
let’s have our special memories
and save all our moments


for these words alone couldn’t hold 
who you are, and what you mean to me
how i keep you close to my heart


when i think of you
everything comes clear
you changed the order of my life
