It’s just as enjoyable being in the same room,
Looking at you, watching your movements and smiles
As it is when you’re holding me tight,
Kissing my lips while your hands caress my body

Is this the start of something new?
There’s not much I can say
There's not much for me to do
I can only go forward
And the best is yet to come!
I’m nervously excited to see it play out

Oh how will it all play out?
wishful thinking for 2014!

Would I want him to say sorry I haven’t hit you up; I know it’s been a while?
Because I would only smile and say it was fine, no big deal
Whether or not it was, didn’t matter

I wouldn’t tell him what was actually on my mind
That if I saw him more often my feelings would take over,
How the second time we talked I already had a crush...

  We were at Capone’s on a Tuesday night
  Outside, surrounded by people, talking laughing drinking
  I was drawn in to him once again just like the first time,
  I couldn’t look away from his eyes when we talked
  I leaned in to my friend’s ear, tipsy on more than the beer I was drinking
  And whispered, I think I have a crush
  She smiled and said I know

So it really was no big deal
Because the more I saw him the more I’d like him
And I don’t know if he would feel the same for me

Winter is upon us now; it's true the Blue Ridge's freezing
Night begins before I’m ready
It descends on the sky prematurely.
My energy fades throughout the day
No longer can you sit and enjoy the last rays.
I’m scared of the wind and the bitter cold
Especially what the darkness can hold.
Things that were seen are lost in the night
I’m safer inside, with a candle for light.

But soon the sun will decide to stick around for long
Light triumphs dark once more,
That’s when life begins a new song.

Eyes up to the sky, she sighs, I need nobody
True indeed, sister, but you still need everybody because
We hardly know ourselves if we know nobody else
And only in our loneliness can home become a hell

-Blue Scholars

Happy but lonely;
This feeling comes and goes like waves hitting the shore,
Retreating back to sea
Come and go; Back and Forth

It’s those thoughts that linger too long
And over stay their welcome
If only I could shake the nagging feelings
Out of my head and make it disappear

Content but yearning*;
No room for complaints
But maybe I’m longing for the
Excitement of tomorrow
or maybe I’m just letting a thought
Hang around like clouds on a sunny day

Don’t tell me you like me
If you haven’t thought it threw,
I don’t need to hear it
If it isn't true

I don’t want you to say
“Can I see you again”
Just so you sound like the better man

If the words that you speak
Are empty thoughts in your head,
I don’t need to hear it;
**Save your breath instead
