Love, when it comes,
is unexpected
you think it to come at a later time
or that it won't come soon enough
you spend all your time
preparing for its chance arrival
but when it comes you are unprepared
your heart leaps up
in a flurry of emotion
not knowing what to say
but saying it all at once
Your touch seems to last forever
and yet is over in heartbeat
and afterwards you scream and dance for joy
but weep at not being able to see it soon enough
it comes with a soft knock
that you can barely hear
and all of a sudden there it is before you

Love is unexpected
let it remain that way forever

You slapped me today
In the face
On the jaw
And I need to tell you
That you slap like a girl

She loves me! I read it! Right here in this text!
And it wasn't all sensual and way oversexed!
She said as if it were general knowledge
This thing that I'd never have learned from a college
She said it right now, right before she slept
I'm gonna make sure that this message is kept!
If only I'd courage like she's got to say
"I love you, my darling. Now let's run away!"
But alas, twas not I that courage lay in
I alone am least able to stifle this grin
That appears on my face when I see her at school
I'm stupid and nerdy, and she's so **** cool
She plays in a band and she rocks on the bass
Her sunglasses are never to have left her face
I know that she loves me, and I love her too
But I still feel I'm wary and it makes me blue
To know that she's awesome and I don't add much
Don't bring out the music or talent and such
I'm just like, this guy who  some people might know
Because being outspoken makes a comedy show
But she loves me, she said it! And though I may doubt
That one's on me and you can't help me out
I've got to get through to myself and just say
"Hey kid, you're so young! Take these worries away!"
But I can't so I won't and so they shall stay
To lie in my brain and come out someday
But the point is she loves me! And I love her too!
And no one should doubt it; not I and not you

Don't worry, don't worry
The mantra that follows
The phrase that repeats in my cranial hollows

Don't worry, don't worry
It's fine as can be
Seems like they've always said this to me

Don't worry, don't worry
Doesn't set me to ease
But I slap on a smile, them all to appease

Don't worry, don't worry
Like the raven of yore
Telling me the little thing that'll help me once more

Don't worry, don't worry
I'm worrying still
Because I can't stop it, but someday I will

Pit in my stomach
As you try
To get me to hop over the fence
Try to get me to fly

In more ways then one
You tell me to fly
I said no because of a gut feeling
To flying so high

I talked of you today
I let my thoughts go where
Words flying through the air

I had to stop
Forced by my throat as it tightened
The moment quite and still

It was that moment it slapped me
Two years and talking of you brings pain
My mind is still not sane

My friend looked at me
And could see the anguish in my eyes
As I tried not to cry, tears stinging

If I had a time turner
I would twist it till my fingers numb
Just to see us teens happy and dumb

There once was a pig
named Phil
He decided to go up a
hill.
When he got to the top
he stopped, and
ate some grass.

Selfish
Ungrateful
How hateful
Am I?
You're all that I asked for
But I said goodbye
How could I?
You are perfect
And ask little of me
Above me
Gods laughing
And basking
In irony

I'm so, so sorry

You notice the little things
The things I do barely
And warily
I loved you
But I still wasn't careful
I used you
And hurt you
And I miss everything of you
Though I still cannot love you

I want you to know

That if I ever do
I will never say no
