Kiss me to sleep
You'll be forever mine
Love is not a waste
E**ven if it doesn't shine

i miss this little girl
with colors in her heart
and fire in her veins
who sang songs about the sunshine
and soaked up all the rain

there's an alarm going off
inside my head
telling me things
that makes me wish I were dead

it's harder tonight
than it was just before
to forget memories
I don't want to remember anymore

and my pillow
gets sorrowfully damp
with whispering tears
that are better off sealed
because i'm not sure
how much more my heart can hear

I feel everything I feel
with such a strong intensity
that's why when I fall in love
I fall too fast and too hard
it's why when I fall out of love
i'm left recklessly abandoned
utterly ******
I feel with a different part of my mind
one that exaggerates every little detail
one that turns puddles to oceans
breeze to tornadoes
and me into someone who feels
just a tad too much

i smile, sometimes
when I see that everyone I care about is black and white
not because we are sad
although we are
but because we all share
a love for the absence of color
because we see things differently
with a different light, a different vibrancy
my whole life I've searched for another
black and white personality
never thinking that i'd end up
with people quite like you

don't disappear
I need you near
to keep me here

I could lay down with you for hours
share our deepest secrets
admire each others imperfection
and call it practically perfect

I could listen to this song on repeat
for hours and hours
drowning in the words that I hear you say
pulsing them throughout my veins

I could listen to you ramble and giggle
for hours and hours and hours
because I've never heard a sound
quite the same as the one escaping your mouth

I know i'm not much
but I want you to stay
and listen for hours and hours and hours
as we pretend to be your favorite films
500 days of you and I
and in that moment I swear we were...

please don't run away,
for hours and hours
i want you to stay

sometimes I notice that the snow falls comparably to how I do
and lands with the intention of staying awhile
so I stare in awe at the crystals of ice glistening
over a blank sheet of perfection
and maybe that's how you see me
but i'm freezing
i can't give you warmth and comfort
but that doesn't stop you
from laying down and making snow angels
that watch over me and make sure that
I won't be cold for much longer
