Chapter 17

Smile once for me

Let me see

I want to touch your face

Give me happiness

A shooting star

Tell me where you are



Give me another hint

To get to you

I want to know you well

So when I smile for you

Am true to you

You know that I mean well



Read me a book

Biography of your life

I want know who you are

From the inside

I want to hear about you

And all that you like to do

Just let write you a new chapter

Let me write you one more letter

Call me chapter 17



I now know the jist of things

And how they work

I know what makes you laugh

I know every word

I want your hopes and dreams

To mean a lot

So much more to you

I'm sorry I forgot



Meet me at midnight

On the telephone

Call me up when you need

When you are feeling alone

I will comfort you

Ans I will see it through

I'll make everything ok

So you can make it through the day



Read me a book

Biography of your life

I want know who you are

From the inside

I want to hear about you

And all that you like to do

Just let write you a new chapter

Let me write you one more letter

Call me chapter 17



I am trying

To reach you

I get an open conversation

With a dial tone

And so I call again

This time you pick it up

You say you are too busy

And you've had enough



I want to be your knife

When you cut your skin

I want to be the water

To wash away your sins

I want to bandage you up

Heal you the best that I can

I'll be your diagonal scar

Be with you where ever you are



Read me a book

Biography of your life

I want know who you are

From the inside

I want to hear about you

And all that you like to do

Just let write you a new chapter

Let me write you one more letter

Call me Chapter 17



Call me Chapter 17

Author's Notes/Comments: 

17, as in the age. I wrote this one with one person on my mind, someone beautiful, someone who doesn't know that I write these for her.  Sometimes I just need to get out some feelings before I sleep at night...
