Thoughts

There’s this boy in my head
He’s been there since God knows when
The mere thought of him makes me look up to the skies at night
And just like a child I pray for a falling star
So that if I see one, I’d make a wish
And hope that the Northern wind would bring my wish to the gods.

There’s this boy in my head
My dreams of him give me courage to sleep through the night
As if the so-called monsters in my closet have gone
And all I hear is the humming of the nightingale
I close my eyes whispering a prayer with a smile
Feeling as if all the love was tucked with me and my blanket

There’s this boy in my head
His laughter makes me see the beauty of the rain
How every drop comes with a promise, a hope
That tomorrow is a much sunnier day
It’s like hot coffee and music on the radio
That comforts my heart despite the many hues of greys

There’s this boy in my head
His love will be God’s gift to me of forever
I will be reborn in this lifetime, bearing his name
A promise to love and to hold
One that the gods themselves will bless
And we’ll live in this lifetime, even in the many more to come

There’s a boy in my head
And I don’t know his name
All I know is that he’s just out there
And someday, at one of the many crossroads in life
Our paths will meet
I’m not when nor how, but it will happen; God knows it will.
