It's 3am and I'm staring at the moon because I know you are too.
It's 12pm and I'm looking at the clouds because I know you are too.
It's 9pm and I'm trying to remember how we used to be
because I know you are too.

Nothing is never as it seems
Yet still
Nothing is everything
We can analyze it
Paraphrase it
Or even cauterize it
But nothing is seemingly
Better than something
Better to see nothing at all
Than to think
Think deeply
About what something is
What it means
Or how it lives

Je t'aime
Te amo*
Love is always the same
If you know what to look for

When I'm with you
Everything is different
Or just maybe
Everything's the same
Your touch is toxic
Burning holes in my skin
But it might as well be
The only thing keeping this alive
I don't know what to do
In person
I love you
Without you
I feel free
I need my space
But I just don't know
How to tell you
Or how to leave
How do I feel?
I wish I knew
I can't think about never
Touching
Kissing
Holding
You again
But I can't think about
Future
Commitment
Love
And not even **fear

Late at night
Lying in bed
You run through my head
Sometimes a quick flash
Other times you are here forever
But whatever the cause we are always together
No matter what's in the way
At the end of the day
There's one thing I can count on
Thoughts of you
And dreams of what's to come
For no one knows the future
But we all have our dreams
Our desires
Our wants
Our fantasies
We are not responsible for what we crave
But some secrets we bring to the grave
Burying them for all of time
Some thoughts have no rhythm or rhyme
Serve no purpose or job
But just help us get along
And make it through this thing called life
We can't do it alone
But many of us try
Crashing and burning
Like fireworks in the sky
