Us.

Nothing matters when I'm with you.
You're the only one I see in a crowded room.
Laying in bed,
With your arms wrapped around me.
Dancing with you,
Alone in the living room,
With no music playing.
Falling asleep in your arms on the couch;
Because I didn't want you to leave.
I thought I'd tell you you're pretty much perfect.
Sweet,
Kind,
Gentlemen,
Loving,
Funny,
Amazing,
Gorgeous.
We've been together for so long;
But, you're still all I want.
The light in my world,
The apple to my pie,
The criss to my cross.
Everything is so free with you.
Effortless.
Just tell me you'll never leave me.
I wouldn't know what to do without you.
It shouldn't even be a thought in my mind.
You and me,
We're together forever.

Falling

You made your point.
I see the picture.
You obviously want nothing to do with me.
Why can't I just leave it be?
I thought it would be a lot easier to accept.
I guess there is just so much I regret.
I regret never telling you how I feel.
I regret always reading into things.
But mostly, I regret falling.
Falling for your words; I should've recognized the sweet sound of lies.
Your hugs, you'd hold me and never let go.
Your kiss, the sweet taste of your lips on mine.
Falling in love with someone who could never truly love me back.
If I can learn to let go of these things, maybe I can let go of you.
The worst part is, I knew it'd end like this from the start.
I thought this would make it easier,
But it's not.

Save me

I feel like I'm jumping off a cliff
   And no one's there to catch me.
      Everywhere I look you're all I see.
       I can't feel anything; nothing at all.
           Feelingless.
              Emotionless.
                 Numb.
                    You say you love me;
                        But, you don't show it.
                          You say you care;
                             But, I don't know it.
                                I could leave and no one would notice.
                                   Why do I have to feel this way?
                                       Can't I just be okay?
                                             I'm f
                                                     a

                                                                            i
                                                                             n
                                                                                g,
                                                                                        falling fast,
                                                                                          falling hard.




                                                                                                                      Someone notice before it's too late.

Sometimes

Sometimes there won't be anyone there,
to catch you when you fall.
Sometimes you just have to get up off the ground,
and put a smile on your face.
Sometimes the people closest to you,
hurt you the most.
Sometimes...
You just have to let it all out..
Just...
Scream.

Last Kiss

I should've seen it.
I'm just so naive.
How could I have thought you were ever into me?
I guess I wanted to believe...
Believe that fairy tales are real,
That magic does exist,
That you meant it when you said you loved me.
But I'm so sick of trying.
I'm so tired of being broken.
So done with leaving my heart on my sleeve.
Don't come crawling back to me when you realize what you're missing.
I deserve better than this.

Here's one last kiss...

Directions

My heart says stay.
My head says go.
Both have been known to steer me wrong.
This was doomed for failure from the beginning.
I guess I was just stupid enough to give it a shot.
But you'll always mean more to me than you'll ever know.
I really can't let you go.
I'm not being honest with myself.
Truth is, you left a long time ago.
It happened so fast.
I didn't even get to say
... Goodbye.

P.s. I'm still not over you

Hey, hi.
How have you been? It feels like forever since we talked.
How's school? Work?
How is she? I heard you two are over. Are you okay?
Look, I know you and I have been done for quite some time.
But that doesn't mean I left all my emotions behind.
I think about you all the time.
You've never once left my thoughts, my mind.
You make me crazy, confused, conflicted.
I can't help but wonder if you ever think about me too.
Believe me, I've tried, and tried to forget about you.
You could have made it easier by not giving me so much to hold onto.
I have so many questions that need answers, so many words I wish I could unsay.
You won't understand, but everything reminds me of you.
Whether it's our song on the radio, something on the t.v., or just some corny joke that reminds me that you were the only reason I smiled for so long.
I don't mean to waste your time.
I don't know how you're gonna respond to this, or if you'll even care.
But I just had to get it out there.
I guess I'll end there.
So, I hope to see you soon.

P.S. I'm still not over you.
