I lie here beside her

And try not to rise her

my eyes upon her beauty gaze

The soft skin caresses

the little lips kisses

oh where they are now

The bed became empty

my head was real cranky

my christina, oh where did you go

Yet tomorrow I’ll see her

you know I’ll squeeze her

My little Tina girl

We grew up on Nintendo and IBMs. Us downtrodden nerds; desperate to gain access to the all-encompassing knowledge contained within our sharply-cornered machines. We married ourselves to progress and the search for pure knowledge. We devoured our subjects in everything we did. Our drawings were of robots, our fingers were torn up by the keyboard or the controller punched hours on end, our books were on BASH shell and HTML, not philosophy. We lost years of our lives, oftentimes our entire youths to this purpose. Many of our brothers, doubtlessly, still toil onward with this task unknown to us. Some of us learned to pretend we didn’t care enough to learn the rules of social conduct, but underneath we’re still the same. We found women who love us and maybe took a few years to travel but you don’t leave your life’s calling behind to rot and waste: you adapt it to your life, your family, your desires, but benefit from the time invested already.

Like a master craftsmen, you learn to bend your tools to your needs rather than bend to them.

"The definition of diplomacy is to tell someone to go to hell in a way that it makes them look forward to the trip."
"Fight every fight like you can’t win"

Our steps be rife with glory
Filled with the luck
Of finding your true love
Oh so early

You were an angel born alive

Even in the darkness, I could see your glow

Renewed, I stood once more

at least for a little while

I wish I could express what I really want to say. Meld my mind into yours until we fall into decay.

verbose

Each word and phrase carefully chosen. To false sayings I do not want you to be beholden.

dream

To hear your mind, completely unfettered. I wish to hear your every letter.

nightmare

Tell me the things that cause you frightTo comfort you and make it nice.

We trod in the footprints of titans
Pretending we are no different

夢の子

明日会える

しばらくらしい

どきどきよ

Girl of my dreams, your absence makes me ponder

what life was like before I knew you

what kept me going when I had nothing

Surely it was good

I learned a lot and met a lot of people

but once you taste the waters

the cool pure texture on your tongue

how can you go back

to the way things used to be

I want you to be with me

whenever we possibly can

I know I’m ridiculous

we aren’t nearly married yet, are we?

I can’t help but feel like a part of me went with you

the part that keeps me sane
