I went and shot down a star today
Watched it zoom right past the moon
It nudged by Mars and asteroids
and it slammed straight into Neptune
I laughed as all the sparks flew down
They fell past some clouds in the sky
While beholding this amazing sight
I thought, “Who would want to die?”
Not everything is so impossible
Everyday less becomes improbable
As long as your brain functions
your imagination is unstoppable
So much has been accomplished
from so many creative minds
Airplanes cruise faster than sound
and some cars can stop on a dime
We possess instant communication,
keeping in touch with all in relation
to maybe take them on vacation
containing multiple destinations
There’s so much to still be done
Have you floated past the sun
in a brand new, shiny rocket ship
while playing with your son?
Maybe someday you’ll be viewed
in a slideshow within a room
packed with friends and family
laughing because it’s so cute
to see you live out every dream
as you smile the entire time
They can see the whole universe
as they look directly in your eyes

I lost a good woman
You lost a good man
Not being with you
wasn’t­ part of the plan,
but you chose to scram
without saying a word
C­hoosing not to clarify
all the things you heard
So quick to assum­e
your friends told the truth,
but they still act as if
they’re a­ll in their youths
High school is over
There’s so much more to li­fe
There is no need to learn
every thing in hindsight
Honestly, I­ believed
we were past the pettiness
I was ready to move on
and g­rant your every wish
I guess I was wrong,
but it wouldn’t be the ­first
I just never expected
things to become worse
Do you still p­ossess
my picture in your purse?
Our’s is in my wallet
You’d cry ­if you saw it
Memories of something
that was once so sweet
Now I ­drive around with
a vacant passenger seat
I doubt it would be
fil­led for a quite a while,
‘til I find that good girl
that can make­ me smile

I know that you're scared
and you make it a big deal,
but the Ear­th would remain
if you revealed how you feel
Sometimes life is pr­one to
moving a little too fast,
but I'm holding my arm out
for y­ou to grab as I pass
I am fully aware
of the pain in your past,
a­nd how you think good things
cannot always hope to last
I myself ­have been scorned
more than just a few times,
still, I allow you ­to inspire
so many of my lines
To me it is so clear
that there is­ something there,
but you make me a liar
when you choose not to s­hare
your perception of us,
what was and what will be
Thinking I ­have a chance
is always what will **** me
Do you know what you wa­nt?
Could I be the real deal?
Or is a relationship with me
someth­ing you just don't feel?

You know that I'm scared
and to me it's such a deal
that my world would collapse
if­ I revealed how I think I feel
Sometimes my life tends to
move ju­st a little too fast
That's when I lose focus
and allow you to pa­ss
You are fully aware
of the pain in my past
and how I know good­ things
are doomed to never last
You yourself have been scorned
m­ore than several times,
yet, you choose to dream
and continue to ­write lines
To you it is so clear
that there is something there,
­but I'd be such a liar
if I attempted to share
my perception of u­s,
what was and what will be
You're hoping to have a chance,
but ­you don't know the real me
I'm not sure what I want,
though, you ­may be the real deal,
but a relationship right now
just isn't som­ething I feel.

What puts a smile on my face
is a smile on yours
When we sit and talk
and your problems you pour
I like you even more
when the same you do for me
When you say, "I understand,"
you're the friend of the century
I welcome your presence
because every moment counts
Time with you is like love
taken in large amounts
There's no such thing as too close
You never stray too far
What I really like about ya
is that you know who you are
You never spend your time
trying to convince others
that you are nice and kind
You just let them discover
We know where we stand
Outsiders need not apply
They see not what I do
when looking at your eyes
We connect on a level
different than most
You're my constant guest
I'm proud to be your host
You and me together
is so uncomparable;
what dreams are made of
or a love parable

You cut me so deep
that I wanted to bleed
You weren't what I wanted,
to me you were a need
Basically, you were
a necessity of life
If you cost all the money in the world
you'd be worth the price
At one point
you could've been my wife
Every thought I had about you
just seemed so right
Your name, your smile, your stare,
your smell, your walk, your hair
You were perfect, everything was there
What I didn't count on was for you to not care
I can't believe I wasted
so much time
I could've saved ink
when I wrote those lines
telling you
how much I loved you
and how I would never
put anyone above you

I drive away
and you come along
I suggest you stay,
but you sing the song,
drowning out my voice
with your own
We played this same game
at your home
Our lives are set
on the same path
Neither one of us
are willing to go last
Together we discover
what lies beneath
Open like the ocean,
swimming so deep

We can't leave
these shared memories
They don't belong to you
They don't belong to me
We are so right
We are so strong
We are so weak
We are so wrong

You move away
I move with you
Why do we stay?
We haven't a clue
So many chances we had
to disconnect,
but all those times
we weren't ready yet
Now that we're older
things have turned around
I fell off the cloud
and I'm coming down
down-to-earth
is what you've been
Now I'm ready
to be a friend

We can't leave
these shared memories
They don't belong to you
They don't belong to me
We are so right
We are so strong
We are so weak
We are so wrong

We try so hard
to grow apart
without a clue
of where to start
Nothing can change
unless we let it
We can't drive away
until we get in
We're letting go
at our own pace
Allowing a chance
to create space
When we depart
I know we'll understand
It's just the cards
dealt from our hands

I believe her to be insane
because she's listing her requirements
and I've managed to meet most of them,
but I'm still her Windex-ed glass window

I believe her to be insane
because she claimed she was jocking me
though she'd only met my voice
and lived near my Cali family

I believe her to be insane
because she liked me when she annoyed me
and was quick to end the years
after I said she was skinny

I believe her to be insane
because she could be straight up with everyone,
but whenever it came around to us
her mouth remained completely shut

I believe her to be insane
because I was more natural than her ex
Then suddenly she became work-obsessed,
but found time to marry the ex

I believe her to be insane
because she ******* up her life to get my attention
She was always beautiful, but deader inside
Another stereotypical trailer park girl

I believe her to be insane
because she searched the mall parking lot
to leave a bocay of daises
on the windshield of my car

I believe her to be insane
because she sang "Before You Walk Out of My Life"
more beautifully than Monica herself
exclusively to me late at night

I believe her to be insane
because she walked miles to see me at work
with bruised, sore, raw feet
to be somewhere safe away from him

I believe her to be insane
because she let me go in a heartbeat,
then she pleaded for my forgiveness,
then she let me go in another heartbeat

I believe her to be insane
because our poetry complimented perfectly,
but I wasn't the one she pictured
because of not being the desired ethnicity

I believe her to be insane
because she cherished me so much,
poetically revealed me to be the catch,
but she's the one that lost touch
