I wrote it all down
What I wanted to tell you
About how sorry I was
And how much I wanted you back

But I left it in my car
As I set it on fire

So now we’re back to step one
And we have a few more to add
To the unsent love letters

Never had I seen a moon so bright
Something about it
Silently caught my eye

Even as the light
began to blind me
I couldn’t help myself but stare

Something so intriguing
I couldn’t quite figure out
Had me drooling, hypnotized

And when I think about it
A journey to the moon
Adrenaline still throbs
Up and down my veins

'*** I know it’s unreachable
But its beauty whispers in my ear
A soothing lullaby
Transmits its calm and peace

So I settle
And seek comfort in knowing
It's always there
Shining it's light upon me

Even if it is
From thousands of miles away
Even if I will never
Be more than just the shadow of its glare

Thought of you once more
Even though I know
Every time I do
You leave me tasting bittersweet

But I can’t help myself
I see your fingerprints
On the walls
And your smile
Each time you closed the door

Bittersweet ain’t sweet
But it sure as hell is
Better than nothing,
Darling.

But how can I live
When I hear
My heart beating
Not in my chest
But in your hands

He is so manly
And fierce
Yet so gentle,
Full of peace

He is so funny
And childish
Yet so serious
When he's angry

He is so stubborn
And feisty
Yet so generous
Kind and loving

He is by far the most
Authentic and transparent
Yet he intrigues
and captivates me

He is so he
It makes it hard for me
To find the right words
To describe him

Sam
her
I've been running around
a notebook on my hip
and the sun in my eyes
and your words on my lips

i've been falling asleep
with your smell on my mind
and the faintest memory
of our fingers entwined

but I've been waking up
with a pillow by my side
and you leaving with my dreams
on the outgoing tide

Cleaning out the memories
Mopping every tear
Vacuuming up the doubts
Wiping away the unsaid
Erasing phone records
With a little brush and
A hint of bleach.
Throwing away my anger
And a night of heat and sweat.
Stepping out the door
Putting the key in the hole
Jingling the ****
Turning around  
And walking away.
