With abandonment and love...

Close again after breaking the silence… We did it the hardest way, before your words came out, before our hearts burst open in the night. My eyes are still wet, but the stone is gone from my chest. And tonight I’ll sleep peacefully again. Thank you for so much, in so many little ways…

I wish I was a fisherman
tumbling on the sea
far away from dry land
and its bitter memories
casting out my sweet line
with abandonment and love
no ceiling bearing down on me
save the starry sky above
with Light in my head
and you in my arms

I wish I was the brakeman
on a hurtling, fevered train
crashing headlong into the heartland
like a cannon in the rain
with the beating of the sleepers
and the burning of the coal
counting the towns flashing by
in a night that's full of soul
with Light in my head
and you in my arms

I know I will be loosened

from the bonds that hold me fast
that the chains all hung around me
will fall away at last
and on that fine and fateful day
I will take me in my hands
I will ride on the train
I will be the fisherman
with Light in my head
and you in my arms

- Mike Scott

Into starlight.

Ainda não consegui tirar da cabeça aquelas lágrimas gordas a te saltarem dos olhos descontroladamente a meio de um abraço forte a transbordar de sentimento...
Só tenho uma coisa para te dizer:
tu és lindo...tens um coração e uma mente linda e isso vale por qualquer coisa...
Valoriza isso...é o que me faz amar-te cada vez mais e me dá uma força e uma segurança enormes...
