American 20, Hello
When you are happy with someone, and I mean truly happy to the point where the stars in their eyes couldn't shine brighter or their scent couldn't be more intoxicating. You breathe in this happiness like a breath of fresh air. Dive deeper into unknown depths. Travel the world with no destination, climb higher mountains, seek the happiness it seems like no one could live without. You want to wrap them up with you like a warm blanket. You pray for colder nights so you could have an excuse to be consumed in their arms, wrapped up in them in their bed sheets. Their laughter seems contagious and you want to catch it like a cold. You want their light from their smile to be your sun and when you listen to their heartbeat its your melody, and you want to sing a song, you want to run up the street yelling, screaming their name. At this point their happiness is your cup of tea and it couldn't be any sweeter. This happiness soon goes away when you see their packing their bags, see they are running away from home and one day they just leave. They leave an mark on your heart that you can't scrub off. It feels permanent like its going to stay. Suddenly you feel like you are holding on to every breath, every tear, every little memory they left behind. You keep the things they left close to your bed. You hope that they come back and everyday seems to get harder. You feel like you can't live with out their touch. You would give everything up just to hear their laugh again. Until one day you don't spend nights drinking the whole bottle, You begin to breathe easier and your days spent thinking about their name on your tongue doesn't burn. Your shattered heart seems a little patched up like the teddy bear you had when you were four and your mouth seems to talk less and less about how they made you feel when they held your hand or touched your skin. They become a distant memory. Days seem like months, and it doesn't seem to hurt as much when you stop wondering, you stop searching for their face on a crowded street. Stop looking for every sign that's going to bring you back to them. You stop waiting for them to come back. You are able to close the curtain. You put this old love back on the shelf and you don't wait for them anymore, you don't wait for them to call your name. One day you forget it all and this is when you learn to be truly happy.

Stages of Happiness
When you are happy with someone, and I mean truly happy to the point where the stars in their eyes couldn't shine brighter or their scent couldn't be more intoxicating.

You left the kind of impression on my heart that singed my insides. It branded your name on my tongue and everyday I couldn't stay away from the connection. It was so strong that it made an atheist believe in God again. Over and over you told me that one day things will start looking up on me and that you just needed the time to heal. What a fool I was to believe that love existed in a man who played with fire. You easily burn me with desire, passion a never ending sadness that only grows like a **** deep inside the cracks of my broken heart.

I thought I'd finally forgotten The sparkle in your eyes The smirk you made when you dropped your keys How ****** off you'd get when I said your name Cause it reminded you of why your parents left You never liked the smell of me on your sweatshirt And you hated when it rained on your car I never got why you gave it all up Why you were in such a hurry to get rid of me When all I wanted to be was by your side We took risks and you were a rule breaker But I'll never forget when you gave up I'll never forget that I was never "yours" ~M.K

Goodbye
Its just been one of those nights. When I cant help but remember the little things when I can believe in those who say "give it time" When it becomes easier to sleep at night and heaven doesn't look so lonely but when I think about it all I cant help remember the time you held so tight my hand was in yours and I felt safe I felt safe from the water that was attempting to pull you away from me or all the hurricanes that showed up that summer one by one they took with them a piece of me a piece that I gave to you I couldn't help but to remember these things because they seem so close yet so far away and I wish I could make sense of it all I wish I could stop pretending like I'm okay and when someone mentions your name I want to be able to say "yes, we we're once lovers"

Thinking about how easy it is to forgive you but to hard to forget you forgetting all the memories forget all the feelings of knowing I had something something special with someone who made me feel like I owned the world someone who made comets burst when he touched my skin who drew the galaxies across my body and made star clusters fall from my lips someone who looked at me like I was the universe because he was an astronomer there is now a black hole forming around my heart because since I've let him go I've been mistaking stars for crater rocks

Hands that I wish would hold my hand instead clenched tighter around my neck I'd sound like an idiot for saying I've fallen in love with you but I cant help but fall for your simple impressions you've left a perfect scar and I gave you my heart and for that I have become a fool I feel like a joke to you but remember when you held me and called me "yours" memories of restless nights curled up in the back seat of your car pretending like we had something more then just a friendship now are stapled to my wall like polaroid's makes forgetting you harder especially when you put those stars in my eyes but I can never dare say to you how I feel I knew when you were with me, you were with someone else you cared to be somewhere else and while I was to busy fighting the butterflies in my stomach you were busy looking for ways to tear down my already broken walls I told you "don't break my heart" you took my words as a suggestion instead of a demand

We only have those late night car rides Your thinking about getting home I'm thinking about you.

Why did you do this to me? Your the reason Im addicted to cigarettes I'd become obsessed with you So why did you make me so addicted? Why did you carry on with lies and deceit Why did you ask so many questions that night? But why were my questions still unanswered? Why did I want the time to rewind itself? Why didn't you look at your phone You didn't look at your phone all night And it made me obsessed with smiling Why did my body feel like it was on fire When you kissed me with such passion Pressing me up against the front seat window Whispering "you look good" Guiding your fingers through my hair Why did I want to show off What you did to my body that night Why did you let me borrow The scent from your sweater? Why did you? Why do people notice how you look at me Why are you the reason time goes fast? Why are you the reason I can't catch up? Why am I falling for someone like you? Falling for what you don't want from me Why am I not good enough to be with? Why am I not yours

Self explanatory(all the things I couldn't say)
I hope on New Years When me and you are sitting alone Drinking to the flames of the fireworks in the air Your kiss will mean something And I'll be called "yours"
