The Game

We’re playing a game, We’re one in the same. That’s what everyone does, We’ve forgotten how to love. Because we thrive on the chase, Keeping up that pace. Can you hold my attention?

Special Bonds

They’re felt, not verbalized, They’re complex and ambiguous, They’re intense and impenetrable, They’re mutual and reciprocal, They’re inimitable and matchless, They’re prized and treasured, They’re unintended and unforeseen, They’re love and understanding, They’re special bonds.
