here's the thing:
I know I am needy and jealous,
and my skin is only pretty in the summer,
and my hair frizzes more often than not,
and my nose is too big for conventional beauty

I know that I talk funny a lot,
and my body is disproportionate
(just like my music taste),
and I never really know what I'm talking about,
and my hands are always cold and clammy

I know that I apologize too much (sorry),
and that I usually make a big deal out of nothing,
and that I usually look angry,
even when I'm happy

I know that my exuberance is hard to handle,
and that I am easy to disappoint
and easy to be disappointed in,
and that I lose motivation too quickly,
and that my smile is too often late and clumsy

I know all these things aren't so great,
(and I know of many more),
but I know that
I am caring and loyal
and my skin gets tan
and warm and filled with sunlight
and my eyelashes are long and full
and when I smile for real,
it is sincere and warm and genuine

I know that I hold myself to higher standards,
and that I get very passionate about little things,
and that I read a lot more than most

I know that I am compassionate and considerate,
and find happiness in the smallest details

And I know that I am hardworking
(when I need to be),
but I also know how to relax,
and I can handle my own burdens
(as well as some of yours)

so between the pros and cons,
I hope someone will someday
find it in their heart
to fall in love with me
as I have done with you

I no longer feel that pain
That corrupts me through my vein.
I no longer crave your touch,
I don't think in you that much.
I no longer read your mind,
I'm not that girl who was so kind.
I can't remember the color of your eyes
And I can't love any more lies.
I always kept you on a cage
But it's time to turn the page.
I can't love you no more...
So, leave my mind
and shut the door.

I still can't say goodbye
But I have all life to try.
There are so many words unsaid,
They will somehow disappear.
I will not hate you, but instead
I will always love you, dear.

I know you think you're doing the right thing here
but darling please look again
at your choices
at the things you've been saying
to the one you once called your best friend

I know I've done some wrongs
but my dear I've apologized!
I tried to fix the remains of what was
but you just broke it again in my hands

So I've changed your name to
"DO NOT ANSWER"
in my phone
even though I have more things to say

I know you think you love him
but darling please look again
you're trying too hard for this
and now you've lost your best friend

Distance

I'll hold you in my heart
Until I can hold you in my arms
I'll cling to every word you say
And wish you weren't so far away

I'll kiss you softly whenever I can
Because I don't know when I will again
And who cares what the world thinks of us
When I think the world of you

So yes, perhaps distance is a drag
And yes, people can be too
But love of mine please give it some time
Because in time I'll be with you
For my sweet girl, who lives an hour from my arms.
