Sonder beings pass me by.
A universe lived within each eye.
Chrysalism gives me life,
shut away in my own mind,
a loner is how I self describe.

and when you lay your head down,
and allow all of the dark thoughts to make you wish you were dead, as a slow frown appears upon your lips,

just close your eyes,
and simply think of me,
let me outshine all of that darkness,
just like the stars do in the midnight skies.
my friend and i haven't been able to talk as much, and i wrote this for him when we're apart.
There once was a time if I just closed my eyes,
I could see us together as one.
But after these years of growing apart,
I can see that dream is done.
You were the one who knew me inside and out,
And always knew just what to say.
Any problems I had would disappear,
When you said it would all be okay.
There was always a special connection with us,
And these days it seems to be gone.
Whatever we had died a long time ago,
But it's just so hard to move on.
Those times I'd drown in the blue of your eyes,
You never noticed a thing.
There were nights I laid awake and thought,
Of the love our friendship could bring.
No matter how hard I've been trying,
The truth is so hard to see.
I guess it takes a while to let go,
Of something not meant to be.
She sets my sites on where I want to be;
In her arms, where it feels like home,
and where my heart can be free.

I don't want to be on the other side
looking in.
I want to ditch our separate lives,
and let ours begin.

She is royalty,
precious like a gem on every level.
Her touch so soft,
and her kiss so gentle.

She makes me feel so special.

I don't understand
Wouldn't the feeling eventually die?
I'll never see the benefits, was it for wit?
It must be fun wasting another's entire year,
I swear this will forever grind my gears.
