Positive Influence
By: Noah Eaton
7/28/05

The light of your eyes,
took me by surprise,
my heart jovially mollified,
in your lemon sorbet baptism!
Limping out of daydreams,
I feel I’ve woken in a comic strip marine park,
feel like I’m on Ballard Street,
and you’re like lil’ Ruthie of One Big Happy!

I love wearing your smooch lipstick,
like a birthmark on my cheek,
so all our friends can see,
that you’re a positive influence on me!

It’s hard to remember how that first flush felt,
yet that warmth remains all too beautiful,
we both thought it once impossible,
how delicate hearts like ours could melt,
I remember I adopted that cute pet name,
that you now always use as your last name,
I feel that extra heartbeat in my feet,
every time I hold you and hear your heartbeat breathe...

After our first kiss, my, how our lives have changed,
yet we’re both the same,
when January still feels like summer to me,
I know you’re a positive influence on me.

You’re a positive influence on me!

Like that vintage lunchbox smile,
your smile is as special to me as it’s ever been,
we still wear these friendship bracelets,
we bought at that Belmont Avenue gift shop,
back when we were just friends.

We keep growing by the second,
but you make me feel younger than I’ve ever been,
when I feel my heart beating as fast as an infant’s,
I know you’re a positive influence to me...

you’re my positive influence...

...you’re my positive influence...

...mmm, mmm, ooohh ooohh,
angel, you’re my positive influence...

Now this is a bright and joyful song of your heart, dear Noah!
It's one of the wonderful aspects of love ... the positive influence!
I remember my first love (some time ago!!) saying that after falling in love with me, he always imagined that I observed him, and this most certainly influenced him positively, because he always tried to do his best in whatever situation, wanting to gratify me.
Enjoyed your beautiful theme, which is very uplifting too.
Love and hugs.
