Jeremi …
I didn't know what I was looking for,
Until my eyes fell upon you.
I looked at you, you looked at me,
And I forgot all that I am
To melt into you like sea sand.
I didn't know where I belonged
Until deep in your heart I found a place
To speak poetry here and there. Jeremi, you are sweet without noise
You are beautiful beyond measure.
You are poetry before the sun
You are music before the moon
In every great architect's notebook
You are my favorite drawing. You sit on the ocean's lap,
All waves that see you are blessed in advance.
The blue of the sky takes form in your eyes
Before it makes its way to the deep sea.
All that happens to me happens with you,
You inhabit me wherever I am.
All that you are is what I am
A bowl of tonmtonm ready to be swallowed. Jeremi, you are sweet without noise,
You are beautiful beyond measure.
You are poetry before the sun
You are music before the moon
In every great architect's notebook
You are my favorite drawing. Jeremi … Jeremi… Jeremi
Don't let me leave you.
I won't let you leave me.
Never let you leave me. Jeremi, Jeremi
You are my country in every country.
Your scent clings to every panel.
Your image scars my eyes,
All I see is you I see
Morning, noon, and night
You are the staff that guides my path. Jeremi, you are sweet without noise,
You are beautiful beyond measure.
You are poetry before the sun
You are music before the moon
In every great architect's notebook
You are my favorite drawing. Jeremi … Jeremi… Jeremi
Don't let me leave you.
I won't let you leave me.
Never let you leave me. Jeremi, you are sweet without noise,
You are beautiful beyond measure.
You are poetry before the sun
You are music before the moon
In every great architect's notebook
You are my favorite drawing.
