When someone
is reckless with
your heart
and it breaks and it shatters
in ways
you never thought it could,
you have known
only one type
of heartbreak.

The second
lies when you
are reckless
with another's heart
because you'll never
know pain
like the type when
you look into their eyes
but they
look away.

And the third
is the worst kind
that comes along
when you have to watch
the person you love
be happy
with another.

          [E.]

If only you knew
the way I look
at you-

when you have your
back to me.

I smile wider than the
sky-

because I think of you
and I
endlessly.

                                   [E]

I wonder if my name lights up your eyes when
you hear it; and I wonder if I constantly run
through your mind; Oh how I wonder if
you crave to hold me just as I crave to hold you.
I wonder if you draw hearts near my name,
or if you wish for me when you see a
shooting star. Or if you think of me
as you slowly drift off into sleep.

Or maybe you don't think of me
at all. And maybe my name is of no
significance to you, and you sleep
blissfully, without a thought of me
in your mind. Maybe you don't think
of me, but I can assure you that your
name is on my mind at 3 am, and
thoughts of you circle my mind
throughout the day, only hoping that
my name is on your mind as well.

                                          [E]

One day, whether you
Are 14,
29,
Or 73

You will stumble upon
Someone who will start
A fire in you that cannot die.

However, the saddest,
Most awful truth you will
Ever come to find...

...is they are not always
With whom we spend our lives.

"Being in love

Without being loved back

Is like laying on a bed of flowers

And feeling a bed of nails."

"You are not mine
but sometimes
I pretend that
you wish you were.

I create this idea
that you secretly
want me

And I often forget
it's just something
I've made up

and that
you do not want me
and you are not mine."

                           [E]

A kiss is just a kiss
Until it is with someone
You know you will truly miss.

                                             [E]

"You
looked at me
like you always look at me
but there was something in the
corner of your eye that brought a sting
to my heart, like it skipped a beat and my breath
lost its balance. I could swear something changed in
the air like I saw you differently now, deeper maybe.
And then you touched my hand and I could swear
I lost my sight because you were all that I
could see, and I smiled because I knew
that I had fallen in love with you
but then my heart skipped
a beat again, because
what if you didn't
feel the same."

[E]

I guess what tore me apart was that I'd always wished for epic love stories even though they often ended with sad goodbyes, so when it happened to me I was caught a little off guard. I never expected to fall for you, but I did and then you left and I was heartbroken because it was too late. I could never confess to you what kicked inside my heart. I could never confess to you, that I was falling in love with you.

                                                           ­                         [E]

I'm falling asleep
The feeling of your lips lingers
Like stars on my cheek.
                                                    [E]
