I have seen you behind the building
With the new person
And you tell me
You are not dating them
I have seen you
stick each others' tongues down
your guys' throats
but I'm sure you're just friends

When I see you walking around with someone else
I wonder if you might actually go somewhere

I'm missing so many assignments
I'm missing so much attention
I'm missing so many apologies
I'm missing so many notes
But my dad says "Don't cry."
Okay, dad.
I won't.

I gave you my time
And I don't get that back
I gave you my life
And I didn't have much of that to give away in the first place
I gave you my love
And that is on a cooldown
I cannot use it for years after what you did to it
I have to fix it up first
I gave you my confidence
Now I am left with soft apologies and broken hellos
I gave you everything
And I don't get that back.

I want to take you in my arms
We met 2 days ago
But you are so sweet
and kind and caring
and I have never known anything
Like that before you
So
Is this okay?
Or does love have its speed limits, too?

He told me to get in the car,
He wouldn't tell me where we're going.
We drove on a deserted highway,
Where there an abode was nowhere to be seen
His hand rested on my thigh
And the reflection of the sky
Was cast upon his sunglasses
And the orange glow of the sunset
Was making his golden hair
Turn a orange-ish shade
And my eyes
Turned a lovestruck blue
And I felt

...peaceful.

There are words written
On small sticky squares
Hung on my wall
None finished
just begging for me
To pick up my pen
And get back to work
