How much?
Clara Jan 2013
I love you so much
I want to make miniature
versions of you and me,
show them the world together,
build them into the happiest people alive.
I think you're so beautiful
that I want to put my face on yours
and morph us together forever.
I don't want you for the instant,
I want you in any instance.
You say I'm silly,
infatuated, irrational.
All this impurity
yet such a straightforward thing.
But what could be more complicated
or irrational than a feeling?
What is this thing I'm perceiving,
is it but a trick of my own mind?

What do I know?
Clara Mar 2012
I don’t know if you’ve ever loved someone like that
Felt that much electricity in your veins
I don’t know if you’ve ever been so taken with someone
Seen so much in someone else’s eyes
I don’t know if you’ve ever invested so much in a person’s place in your life
Been so carried away in the dream
I don’t know if you’ve ever been so happily/crazily/contentedly in love
Had your heart broken so completely
I don’t know if you’ve ever cried that much
So you might not understand
But some day, chances are, you will and you’ll see
What he did to me
You would see why I tread so lightly
Love is such a dangerous trap to fall into
I don’t know how much of this you’ve felt before
But for your sake I hope you never understand what it feels like
To wake up from the dream, to fall out of love, to regret the happy times that were
To find yourself alone
Of course when you’re so high, it’s a long way down
And it’s only fair to feel myself crashing back into reality
I don’t know if you’ve ever felt such a change in the way you felt about someone
Ever hated just how much you care about someone
I don’t know if you’ve ever felt so disconnected
Ever lost so much
I don’t know if you’ve ever looked back on things
Questioning every step of the way
I don’t know if you’ve ever been as disinterested in hearing
About all the other fish in the sea
