mahogany trees

4:30

i was riding my bike

over the bridge

the sun was setting

over those sky high buildings

was it just me

or were the mahogany trees dancing?

the sky seemed bluer

and my heart fluttered

at the thought of you.

your voice was like honey

you set fire where i

thought was a waste land

you came into my life

like the first summer rain

slow down, hold my hand

show me the way

as i might go insane

i’m sorry i get scared easily

hold on to me, please

i was never loved like this

look at me, with those still eyes

tell me, you love me always

always.
