Hit and Run
Adrian Espinal Apr 2011
I'm a hit and run victim
not your first, and not your last.
It started on my road, it started as a whim
I didn't see you coming, didn't see you pass.
In your little red car
you were smiling and waving.
So smoothly you slipped right past my radar
and underneath my skin, just to hear you saying-
Goodbye, sorry, I see my love just 'round the bend.
Forget me and don't look back.
It just started but now it has to end.
Don't worry, it's me, not something you lack.
There's no room for your baggage, think I have too much.
Don't choke on my fumes, don't get blinded by the dust.
Don't wanna hold your hand, don't wanna be your crutch.
It's time to be strong, you have to, you must.
You're a hit and run victim
not my first, and not my last.

I'm just calling
Adrian Espinal Mar 2011
I'm just calling to say it was nice meeting you last night
I'm just calling to see if you want to maybe go out for a bite
I'm just calling to dispel any doubt that I am an independent girl
  who needs her space
AND that after family, friends, work and a few important phone calls,
  you are second place
I'm just calling to talk ***** to you at work
I'm just calling to let you know you're a ****
I'm just calling to say I think this is going too fast
I'm just calling to discuss why we're not going to last
I'm just calling to inform you that even though we're exclusive, we see each other every day, we make love like WHOA!, and
  we spoon- you're not my girlfriend
AND I can sense that you love me- so don't say it
  because I don't want to lose myself in the end
I'm just calling to find out what you're doing later
  and tell you I already have plans
I'm just calling to explain that I love you and miss you,
  but those are feelings that I just can't understand
I'm just calling to demand that you stop calling
