"The Storm & The Rain." [ 01 | 07 | 2010 ]

If you could open your eyes, and see through mine, then you would see that there’s more to us than this. I’ll take a step past me and back towards you to change. And call me strange, but the warm and sunny weather makes it all feel kinda better because it’s almost sorta similar to you, babe.

I’m soaking in the Arizona soundtrack, yep. But nothing compares to the Atlantic Ocean breeze, because it’s what is simply home to me. Nothing to do, and nowhere to be. The sun sets the horizon for a summer love on the beach. And when push comes to shove, I know you and I both want us to be.

Me equals the son of a good mother and one of three gentlemen brothers. I got me a sister who has a handle on things, and a dad who's smarter than most anything.

But you, girl, you're the exception, the storm and the rain. You're the air in my lungs, the blood in my veins, you're the credit to my name. Beautiful, scenic, another star to climb, you're the hands to the clock to the schedule to my time.

Every breath is a new look, a fresh insight.

Because, Virginia, you will always be a part of me.
