Blue
It's just a color
Of the skies
Of the seas
So much more
Than just a color
It's an emotion
That will represent me

You've got the sky in your hands
And the seas in your arms
You've got the world to yourself
But you
You are mine
When your skies are on fire
And your seas dried of water
I'll put out the flames
And cry your oceans back together
Because girl,
You are mine

We lay in the universe
Among millions of stars
You start let go of things
As I strum my guitar
Don't give up the sea
And don't give up the sky
But even if you do
You will always be
The love of mine

The author's comments:
I have this painting in my mind of two people sitting on clouds in the sky with the stars around them, looking up into those stars and below them there is just a massive sea that seems to go on forever.

That was strange really.  But it's our like connection.  I find that people born on the same day have a similar outlook towards life and generally think the same way.  Normally we're all very artistic too.  haha:P  I never said how did you get this.  She said how did you get this (the cover I drew on one of the cd cases) and you were like, "Oh, Marley drew it."  and she was like "really? I have this one piece that is exactly like this one."  Then she showed it to us.  then there was a very cool awkward moment.  Hahaha:)  And then we found out we have the same birthdays

One of my new favorites!!! My only critique is that, is it supposed to be "you start let go of things", "you start, let go of things", or "you start to let go of things"
