puppyhood

Winnie darling you mean more to me than anyone ever did
Of all the rot I find within myself with you is when I rid
I've never not had friends to keep my lonesome spreading into fire
But in our little talks and pastime walks, you've never been a liar
Mark a thousand words you've ever brought out of me
Not met another stuck 'round long enough
To see the great that I could be
I once believed I was a spout of everlasting energy
I found myself to be mistaken, that was never me
Living up to things I said and things I've seen
The things they did the days spent clean
The talks and walks and dirt-stained socks
Didn't mean a thing, just kickin' rocks
But Winnie you mean more to me than anyone ever could
In songs I write and wrongs made right
You're there with me in adulthood
Still learning how to handle stress and
How to dress and clean my messes
On and on and on my life goes up and down in every wreck
And through and through, you've done no wrong
The purest soul described in song
My tart my love my heart my dove, my fallen angel from above
Kick your feet, laugh and sing
Bring the peace, smile at least
For you I write, for you I sing
For you I cry the more I think
When parting comes and patience numbs
I'll wait it out, to and from
In any life I'd love to love you, right beside you, become of you
Cause Winnie you'll mean more to me than anyone ever will
My song my will my ride along, my melatonin sleeping pill
Winnie, you'll mean more to me than anyone ever should
So lay with me and fall asleep, another night lost in puppyhood
