my body isn't warm even when i'm in the sun oh what a good man i swear i'll become even though i'm not a christian i will love everyone with the blood of the lamb we shall overcome i am constantly breaking but then so is the sun i am tired when waking i can see the light come i love what i am i will love like the sun yea it's fine if i'm sad it don't define my whole sum yea it's fine if i'm sad it don't mean that i'm done it's fine if i'm sad cause i'm warm like sun

we had some trouble at the airport you called to see if i had got home safely i was fine and you moved on so quickly you’d always thought that you were royalty i had some trouble when we landed it felt too closely to a movie scene went home and never talked about it but sometimes it will come back to me

set a reminder to remind me about something Claire said probably or was it to see if Yap could come hang out? i won't be sure 'til it's in front of me it isn't turning out quite like i planned it but i don't mind time at the library with all this love i plan to carry i promise to speak honestly i promise to speak honestly i love this life in its entirety

our last conversation was pretty much about the trees i heard that after graduation you got a job and headed oversees is it winter where you are now? are you as happy as you used to be? i know you loved fall in our hometown but here they've barely began to lose their leaves
