You're beautiful.
There are others who feel the same
But none of them
Feel it like I do
When I text you
And I can hear every word you type
In your perfect voice
Or when we talk
And I feel your gaze
Resting on me
I know your jokes
And your references
And your obsessions
Because they're the same as mine
And I love that
You're beautiful.

You were not
here today
I didn't see
your adorable face
or your fiery hair
or your cute smile
as I stumbled through my day
a little bit lost
and kind of confused
you keep me going
even though
you don't
know it.

You give me Vertigo.
You know, the fear of heights?
I had it already
But you make it
Magnified
I'm so scared
That if I love you
You'll drop me
Its not the fear of being high
But the fear of falling
And if I do fall
Would you catch me?
I may never know
Because the only thing
Scarier than flying
Is never making
The climb.

When you're mean to me
Who cares?
When your other friends are more important
Who cares?
When you hate me for no reason
Who really cares?
Or
When I just want to be your friend
Who cares?
When I feel left out
Who cares?
When I have an ache in my heart the size of China
Who really cares?
Certainly not me.

On the mountain
of my feelings
I fly onward to toward the sky
If you only
Look closer
You would see me flying high

When its over
Then its over
Nothing left to do or say
If you are strong
you can push on
Before life gets in the way

Never give up
Climb that mountain
you will reach the top in time
you will never
have to worry
in the sky, lord
in the sky

without a purpose
I am nothing.
You kept me alive and in the world
You made me breathe the air
smell the roses
love the people around Us
Us...
funny how the word
no longer applies
its a has-been
a used-to-be  
just like You
and just like Me

Tick Tock
One minute passes
Tick Tock
Then another
Tick Tock
Where are you?
I'm anxious
I'm scared
I'm hopeful
I'm new to loving you
I want to hear back
I wait
Tick Tock
