42 - House in the Woods

Somethin' always so euphoric 

of campin' underneath 

the trees where I 

first met her. You see,

she was always younger than me 

but she had this way 

of studying, and keeping 

up with the demands 

of her family while still havin' friends, 

except the one night 

she fell asleep on my back

and didn't wanna leave

when they sun rose. 

I asked her if she had some place to be-

Some place she could consider busying 

and she simply shook her head,

prayed with me 

and held my hand 

through the Sundays and Wednesdays 

that would be expecting 

too much from two people 

like us, who just want 

a house in the woods.
