who were you?
but sweet-smelling hair and rose-tinted cheeks
your presence faded but your scent lingered for weeks
who were you, but a blinding smile?
if it were to rain, and the droplets pounded against the earth, I would've bore their force if it meant that you didn't have to
and who was I?
but a lonely heart, a jumbled mind
with little a feeling left behind
my heart blasted itself out of my chest
and i couldn't taint you, i would not let myself do it, because for you, there should be only the best
so i admired from afar, i sat and i watched, and the swelling of my heart, i could not stop.
and i thought, who was I, but your reluctant admirer?
but I remember the day it changed
the colors you wore were bright and your smile was even brighter
and my courage soared higher and higher
i waited so long to tell you the truth
to tell you that i loved you
and that i hoped you loved me too
and as soon as you did i swear the world stopped spinning
if only i knew that was just the beginning

It's all or nothing
you're my all or nothing girl
it's either you want me or you don't
please don't string me along
i don't think i can take it
if i give you my heart
For sure, you'll break it
but i'll do it anyway
cause i still got some ounce of hope
that maybe one day you'll turn around and tell me just how much you love me so
i always had a talent for loving people that i shouldn't
my friends told me to shut off my heart
i knew that i couldn't
but you're all or nothing
you're my all or nothing girl
i would let you give me only two seconds
while i gave you the world

my soul aches in the presence of yours
because it yearns for it
it wants to reach out and intertwine
and i am the host of this experience.
two energies, so similar
which is yours?
which is mine?
as they dance around each other
it is no longer just my soul that yearns
it is also my body
it's also my mind
and now I am reaching for you physically.

I used to wonder why birds sing
why a rainbow appears after it rains
why there can be calm before a storm, and certainly after it.
I used to ask her about it all the time.
and she told me, "There's always duality evident in the universe.
while some things upset the balance, other things restore them.
while some things demonstrate savagery, horror, and dystopia,
others demonstrate harmony, elegance, and divinity."
i've seen horror
had my fair share of savagery
but even after, i'm always holding out for that rainbow.
i'm always awaiting that calm. always listening for those birds.
she used to stroke my hair and tell me that my faith has to overtake my fear.
and so i became faithful.
