I can't ask for more
This is all I'm getting
30 seconds
That's all the time I have
That's all the time I need
It kills me to say these words
But I will never let the sadness show
Not today. Not ever.
Not to anyone else.
Not anymore.

My impossible girl,
Thank you

*and goodbye

It's time to let you be free
It's time for me to finally let you go
You are no longer trapped with me
You can do whatever you want

You don't need me anymore
You can find someone else
Someone who will stay
Someone better

Run along
Have fun
Be whatever you want
Be whoever you want

Go play the games that I could never enjoy with you.
Go to the beautiful fields that I could never take you.
Go sing the songs that I could never serenade you with.
Go read the books that I could never give you

Go tell your secrets that I could never keep
Go run away to the places I could never go with you.
Go make the memories that I could never be included in
Go fall in love with the man I could never be

Make the loneliness of your absence
Worthwhile

This could very well be
The last time we're ever going to see each other
In a very long while

In fact, we may never see each other again

But tonight,
Just this one night,

Let's pretend that we'll never leave
eachother's side.

Let's pretend that we will keep the promise
That we'll always be there.

Let's pretend that we will and will alway will be
Our missing half.

And let's pretend that we have more day to be together.

So our hearts will know that we will find each other

One more time

Where could I go?
If there was nothing to stop me
If the world could let me cross all of its walls
If the universe really has no limits

Where could I go?
If I could run as fast as the wind
If I could run as fast as the currents of the water
If I could run as fast as light itself

Where could I go?
If I could fly
If I could reach the heavens
If I could touch the stars I've always dreamed of

Where could I go?
If I could see the world move forward and backwards
If I was not bound by the laws of time
If I could travel through time and space

If I could travel to and from any point
In all of space and time,
Where nothing could be able to stop me,
I wouldn't go anywhere.

What's the point of seeing the universe turn?
Who cares about the whole of time and space?
If there's no one to accompany you and
There's no one you could share it with.

Unless,
You could come with me?

I don’t know what we are right now.
We can be of 3 different states.
We change in many different ways.
Never will I think we will stay the same.

Some days we are like solids,
Bound tightly together.
Whatever our form is,
What we are is never regular.

Some nights we are like liquids,
More free to move.
Flowing as if nothing can stop us,
But viscous enough to never let go.

And sometimes we are like gas;
Separated and swift.
We know of our presence,
Regardless how invisible it may be.

Of all of the states,
There is one thing common:
That they need atoms, like us
To make us matter.
Made this for Chemistry class (To anyone who recognizes this: shh)

I know that from the beginning
Ever since I told you those three words
That you were the one for me
And I hoped you would feel the same way

So we could fight the battles
That we never could
When we were alone
So we can be there for eachother
No matter what

I thought I was confused:
Not only was I in love with you,
I was in love with another as well
And you both wanted me to choose.
But I know that decisions like that are hard to make.

So I tried to fall in love with two people
At the same time
To see if one would also fall for me.
And I tried harder to fall for her, and not you.

I'm sorry for confusing you.
I'm sorry for wasting your time
On my pointless attempts at love.
Because you knew I was never confused at all.

I fell for the wrong one.
Only now had I realized that.
I was making you wait for what was never to come.
But now you are out of my reach.

And if there is one thing I will regret,
Is that I never got to tell you how much I want you in my arms one more time.

We both know there is a difference between
Being in love and
Love itself.
And since I'm not in love with you,

I would just like to say that I still love you very much and I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
You've waited long enough.

Hello there, my friend.
Or, at least, that's what you want me to believe
But I can't believe it any longer
And as more days go by
The more this friendship seems like a lie

I know I lied to you, my friend.
I have lied about a great many things
So much that I had to tell you the truth
Because the voices in my head told me to
Then everything started to fall

I thought I had ruined it all, my friend
I thought our tower based on friendship fell
So I asked you of its condition
You told me it was upright yet damaged
Without showing my proof nor debris

I wanted to go away that day, my friend
I wanted to end it all to spare you the burden
Of my presence
I told you what I felt
And you protested and told me you cared
So I stayed because I believed you

You've changed a lot, my friend
It's been a long time since you've spent your time
Talking to someone as useless as me
I have become a ghost in your eyes
Always present
Never acknowledged

Very rarely do I see you smile around me anymore, my friend
Very rarely do I feel your care
Even if you said you cared, very much
Our tower based on friendship has fallen
And you want to keep it that way
Because it is not worth rebuilding

Instead of care, I see tolerance
Instead of happiness, I see irritation
Instead of company, I only see presence
I may have lied to you
But I have told you the truth
Because I trust you and hope that you will understand

I want to leave
Everybody wants me to leave
So please do not lie to me
Especially not to the following question:
Do you want me to leave too?
It doesn't end here
