And for the first time in forever,

I danced alone in the kitchen at 1am

without the help of alcohol

I can still feel your heartbeat
Faster than I've ever felt
Loudest sound against my ear
With my head against your chest, I know you're nervous
You reassure what I already know as you whisper your thoughts
I can still smell your scent filling up my nose as we exchange our first kiss
Ushering me to the bedroom, I feel your heartbeat once again
I can still feel your skin grazing mine as we touch for the first time
I'd swear you were a magician pulling rabbits out of hats
You had my full attention
Seeing you in a new light now is something I don't mind
I can still feel my tears rolling down my cheek as we said our last goodbye
I knew it would be our last.
I cling on to every moment.
The air, the cold December air.
No longer December, but I can still feel e v e r y t h i n g
goodbye, Clyde

What if I was gone forever?
No re-does
Discontinue my laughs at you being clever

The last talk we had
You never dreamt was our last
Now do you regret ever making me sad?

You said the season wasn't ours
It just wasn't meant to be
But now do your words taste sour?

The sad fact is that I'm here to stay
Wasting away
Wishing I had you by my way to sway

Maybe one day we will meet again
The stars will align
And we will be certain

I will NOT cry over you anymore
These tears are sacred
For loved ones passed or severely stubbed toes
I will NOT cry over you anymore
I deserve the best and you cannot give it
My pillowcases, oh if they could talk
would slap me upside the head
and tell me you're not worth it
I will NOT cry over you anymore

I just want to be happy
But happiness comes from within
not from outside sources
How can I be happy when my happiness comes from making others happy?

The saddest of feelings are pent up with nowhere to escape
I'm almost sure they feel the pain in my voice
My eyes are drowning in tears that refuse to fall
I let myself get too excited
It's all my fault
I knew it all along
I tried to outplay the system that I am all too familiar with
Orchestrating love is impossible
Please, my friends,
listen to me and take my words for what they are worth
This is an all too common mistake that hopeless romantics make
When your gut speaks to you, do no quiet it

I hate this feeling.
The feeling of the unknown.
I just want to scream and let it all out
But I hold it in and feel my chest tighten with every breath
You reassure me nothing is wrong,
So why do I feel like you are lying?
I gave you an out, a chance to ante up
I want to call your bluff but I'll risk it all
This was once so easy
Where did our words go?
Lost in between what was and now what is?
Let's get back to that
