Chapstick Girl

I’m looking at the sky from above
I’m feeling through my lungs and not my touch
I’m breathing in the water not the sun
I’m swimming through the jelly not the cigarettes
That we smoked last night for fun.

My chapstick girl
Forever, always, love
You popped up when my soul
Was getting cracked and dry

I’m jumping in the sea in my whole uniform
I’m going to a dusty church to sing out loud
I’m listening to my heart and not my head
I’m flying high not walking on the ground
That used to tie us down.

My chapstick girl
Forever, always, love
You popped up when my soul
Was getting cracked and dry

I’m whispering instead of acting out
I’m holding hands instead of stepping back
I’m tasting sugar now instead of salt
I’m running faster now than before
You showed me how to laugh.

My chapstick girl
Forever, always, love
You popped up when my soul
Was getting cracked and dry

Marina accidentally stole from me a cherry chapstick exactly like the one in your pic for this post in x-mas! she used it a lot since she'd finsihed hers and towards the end there was no friggin way to find. Two days later after she'd left she tells me through msn: I have your chapstick! and I was like *drop to the floor* LOL.


Marina talks a lot about you. It always makes me smile when she does because she just tells me all these wondeful things you both do, like piano playing in the church or listening to music in the car. I'm really glad she has a good friend like you are to her...

Marina says you draw, I'd like to see something fun made by you! :D
