Catch Me

I don’t have a favorite season. I have a favorite feeling. It’s that windows down, silent back roads with dirty feet and salt water smell in my hair feeling. It’s when I can walk straight outside without pausing to search for a jacket. It is curtains dancing around my room because the cool breeze is pushing against its fabric. It is sunsets after ice cream and grass as my pillow. It’s the sound of lawnmowers, of crashing waves and the rain falling against my window sill. It’s the feeling of happiness when you encounter packets of shade and long walks along a gravel road. I don’t have a favorite season, I have a favorite feeling.

Vampire Life

We were young and drinking on the beach
There was nowhere else to go
And you said you always would be within reach
Oh but how were we to know

That these are the days that bind you together, forever
And these little things define you forever, forever

All this bad blood here, won't you let it lie?
It's been cold for years, won't you let it die?

If we're only ever looking back
We will drive ourselves insane
As the friendship goes resentment grows
We will walk our different ways

But those are the days that bind us together, forever
And those little things define us forever, forever

All this bad blood here, won't you let it lie?
It's been cold for years, won't you let it die?

And I don't wanna hear about the bad blood anymore
I don't wanna hear you talk about it anymore
I don't wanna hear about the bad blood anymore

All this bad blood here, won't you let it lie?
It's been cold for years, won't you let it die?

Don't Buy Me Presents

I just have one request - baby - don't buy me roses, or daisies, or chocolate, take me somewhere new.
I feel free to roam and travel - to explore and adventure. I'd like to do those things with you.
I haven't found the urge to find another 'half' because I've felt pretty whole as a solo traveler for so long. When you travel, you discover more than places, you discover more than the world, you discover yourself.
But if I do have a boyfriend or lover, I'd want him to know the following:
Baby, don't buy me presents, take me somewhere new.
Swim with me in the Great Barrier Reef and help me find Nemo.
Hike with me along Mt. Fuji. Jump out of a plane with me, soaring high above the ground, through the clouds and filled with adrenaline.
Let's enjoy pretending to be pirates on King's Landing - we can reenact our favorite Game of Thrones scenes - Maybe even sit on the Iron Throne.
Hug me among the elephant's in Chiang Mai, and make my heart beat fast and steady while watching the boas in the Amazon.
After the Amazon we can hop over to Argentina swim in Iguazu Falls - splash around singing assorted songs the natives won't understand.
I'd like to experience our own version of a British tea party and rage at Wireless Festival!
Let's sail Whitsunday Islands and run with the bulls in Pampalona.
I want to experience Halong in Vietnam, because quite frankly that's just hilarious. And I want to be Down Under while you're going down under.
With you by my side I want to feel the security to take real life chances, not the ones I've done thus far on my own - I want to feel the rush of life-changing decisions.
Baby, let's do everything we've dreamed of - lets create new dreams.
Apart we are strong, we are travelers, we are wandering souls, but together we can be something more.
