I hope you don't mind that I put down in words

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide

I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show

I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done

I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words

How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross

But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean

Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

My friend once said to me that music is a universal language.He said that it doesn't matter where you are or where you're from you'll be able to understand the meaning behind any song.He said this and began to effortlessly play the piano.I watched in awe.He made it look so easy.I watched as his fingers raced up and down the keys.He didn't sing but his whole self became that song.He slipped into a different world while I stood there.With every key change he glanced at me from the stool,he looked tense and afraid.I felt him pour out his frustration,things that he could never say in person.He banged the keys.His whole life story un-ravelled like a ball of wool in front of me.The other person inside of him was revealed.The person was hurting and this was the only way he could express it.He had so much to say but he couldn't use his voice.I listened to his story and I knew he felt better once he'd stopped.I smiled and rubbed his back,he knew he had let me in.He placed his head on my shoulder and in a moment of silence it was clear that what he had been holding back had finally been shared.He had said nothing but he knew that I understood.

Some people make life look so easy.They speak effortlessly and share feelings with ease.They let people in quickly.They don't wear a mask.They're not afraid to let people in.They don't fear the rejection.They don't let past experience hang around their ankles like a chain.They cut it off and keep walking.They don't need a piano to bang out what they want to say.

The song above is about someones love and devotion to another.The pure happiness they find in that person and the belief that the sun shines through them.The belief that life is wonderful when they are graced by their presence.The belief that that individual brings meaning to their day and that they need no other.The words flow beautifully and the piano hums with ease.

I know this song is old and overplayed in some cases but it's message is universally understood.It's poetic tune opens a shortcut to the heart from the very beginning.From the humble piano at the start there is an instant understanding of the direction the song will take.You embark on a journey with this pair.One pouring out emotion like a fountain.His words are like water,they flow gracefully and splash out over people,giving every listener a little piece of his expression,giving them a keyhole view into the life he loves.Sharing with them the passion he feels for the other person.

I wish I could be more musical.I could write lyrics all day but I have no way of composing an appropriate tune.I wish I could effortlessly pour my heart out.I wish I didn't care what people thought and could let people in more quickly.I wish I didn't fear the unknown.I wish I could cry when I needed too and let people hug me better.I can use all the flowery language I like but they're just words.I feel like a Deaf person sometimes.I have a hold on what I want to say but I need an appropriate means to say it.I can wave my hands all I like but most people won't understand.I can create beautiful metaphors with my hands but it's only me who understands.The person I want to address doesn't understand me.It's music that is the key to opening that box of feelings inside.Music bridges the way between emotion and reality.

If I could write a song to explain how I'm feeling,I would.If I could write you a song to do justice to my words, I would.If I could know that you wouldn't laugh at me I'd tell you how I feel.If I could explain how you've hurt me while singing to piano, I would.You'd understand before I opened my mouth.If I could write a song about you it would be like the one above.I would soon ignore the hurt because your smile makes me forget.When your warm hands touch mine I know that I'm safe and when you wrap your arms around me I know that everything will be okay.When you grab my wrist I know that we're cool.When you joke with me I know that really you love the stupid things I do.When you look into my eyes I feel important,worthy of your time.When you smile at me,I know that I'm alive.When you you stand beside me I feel you breathing and my heart begins to race.

If I could give you my heart,I would.If I knew you wouldn't crush it,I would.If I knew I could trust you,I'd tell you everything.I'd let you listen to my crappy music collection and know exactly what I'm about.If I could guarantee that you'd be reading this I'd delete it.I care too much about what you think of me.I know, I'm impossible to read and you have no idea how much I value what we have.I'm full of talk and you think I don't care,in fact I couldn't care more.I know if you read this you would have no idea it's about you.I wish I could tell you instead of relying on a stupid blog to let me do the talking.

I wish I could write you a song,you could tell everybody that it was yours.Play it on repeat and appreciate it.I wish.I wish you felt the same.I know I can't and I know I must move on.A baker can't fix a car and a girl like me can't fix the world.I can't get inside you're head and know what you're thinking and until I have the music to sing my words I will remain a still statue.I will continue to show little.Await your approach.Remain as your friend.Know that our friendship benefits you.Know that you will never realise that your smile is my sun.
