Wear me like your skin
       saturate our flesh in each other
              Breathing in our air
              drowning ourselves
              in one another
Lasting a lifetime
      our souls mate attached together
           Rejoice in each other
           embracing one another
           getting lost in moment
           that feels like forever

can't shake the feeling that i'm not enough
and no-one else has anything better to say
on the subject;

she feels like being hypnotized and when i
look in her eyes i don't know if she's real
or not, i've been down this road before. is
she a pretty face i'm stealing glances of
or is she a figment? oh, what a shame.

god, she's like a glass of red wine sitting
against my lips, souring every kiss, and just
like wine i'm gonna disappoint my lover by
taking another sip.

i feel so full of wreckage and broken glass i
think tonight i'm in over my head.

I don't want to feel this way but everything is darker dark darker
And everything you say to me shatters my heart and soul
And everything you don't hurts even worse
Ah
Standing at the front of the cafe on a rainy day,
Waiting for a hot cup of coffee,
On this autumn day,

Seeing you alone,
Watching the dust of people, flowing outside,
Why is such beauty alone?

I try to hide my smile,
I try to hide my feelings.

Holding my coffee,
I work hard looking away from you;

But, I remember your face,
From a dream long ago,
I can see you in my dreams from a thousand years ago.

The most beautiful site I can remember,
Doesn't come close to your beauty,
Not even a sunrise on a bright blue day.

I hope by letting go of past love,
I'd be able to say hello to you.

How much time have I missed, by mourning a lost love?
What is stopping me from saying hello to you?

There are secrets that we never even give voice to,
Like squishing them inside ourselves will make them go away.
But, they don't need lyrics to have their own voice
-even instrumental pieces carry feeling-
And the music escapes when I open my mouth.
It tumbles out like a discordant symphony,
And I can't take it back.
I try, but I can't,
So, I stumble over the wreckage my silence has wrought,
Still denying the secret all the time.

*Maybe you know, now.
Regardless, consider this my confession.

You seem the kind of peril she wouldn't mind getting familiar with.

She wanted you to see how she had those fire in her eyes whenever she told you about her dreams, about her passion, about her fears that she wanted to conquer. She wanted you to whisper to her how much she meant to you, although she would never admit it.

To her you were a bright, massive star; capable of illuminating her entire world, yet having an unstable heart.

One day, you told her how you could name a hundred reasons why she was never like the others. and that you loved her. Just love her. You never knew how she kept on thinking about those words for days, because that is all she could do; think, but not believe. And you never knew, because she would never tell you.

Oh how she longed to brush her fingers through your hair. To hold hands with you just because. To share tight hugs that could go on forever. To spend late night to morning talks with you. She hopes for the day to come when all her daydreams become reality.

She could go on and on about these things, but then, there are certain things that, no matter how hard she yearned for, will never be.

The danger she never feared; the chaos she looked forward to; the ruin she expected.

That, dear, is you.

first of many. for the person I long for.
