Because

Because the sky is blue

Your blue eyes found me

A cheerful vagabond

A proton with no orbit

Because the earth is round

I’ve unbound my soul

And found heaven in you touch

Because the sun glows

Your glowing skin warms me

Melts my every care

Every fear or insecurity

Because night falls

Your lips call

Me to be free

Because the ocean’s deep

Your deep mind astounds me

Confounds me

Arouses curiosity

Because the stream meanders

My soul wanders

And so I came to you

Because the stars twinkle

Your twinkling smile cheers me

Surrounds me with the arms

Of joys embrace

Because the breeze blows

My heart knows

It’s where it wants to be
