Every heart has a path
One on which it will get lost
And very confused
It'll get scratched by the thorns
And cold from the strong wind
But if you're one in a million
And there are 7 million here
There are 6 others like you
And they're all lost too

What is love?
What's it about?
Is it about security?
Lust?
Pity?
Desire?
I think it's something you don't know
Until it finds you
And then you still won't understand
Because you'll be too busy being consumed by it
And the lovely feelings will engulf your soul

There's gotta be one person out there
Who truly cares for me
Even if they don't know just yet
Because i can feel them weep when i'm hurt
And laugh at my jokes that are never funny
He holds me when i need someone strong
And keeps me warm when i'm cold
When the world turns it's back on me
He grabs my hand
And makes me touch the sky
Just for a little
So i can see the bright side

He's not looking for me
Nor am i for him
But i see him in the twinkling of the distant city
Just outside my nighttime window
We'll live there together one day
With beautiful babies
That have beautiful smiles
And eyes of diamond

That's what love is
To me.
Sorry it's so long, i got really inspired.
he isn’t waiting
around the corner he isn’t
holding his breath
he isn’t glancing at his clock
wondering why you’re so late

he isn’t in the next room
his voice is not echoing down
the hall
he doesn’t go to your gym
nor your coffee shop

he won’t be in your classes
not this year
not next year
he does not live on your block
these aren’t
the streets he walks
your paths won’t meet
any time soon
his bones rise with the sun
you are drunk under the moon
Two lovers died tonight.
Together they sipped glasses of potassium chloride.
To others their love was unjust,
to each other, their deaths were a must.

In a jungle of segregation,
they were forced for permanent separation
one that they both could not adjust.
To each other, their deaths were a must.

They decided to take a firm stand,
held glasses of sorrow in each hand
and as they both had discussed
to each other, their deaths were a must.

Two lovers died tonight,
to each other, their deaths were a must.

When you've reached the point
Where you can't even cry
And you don't feel anything anymore

It's more frightening
Than the most sorrowful of sorrows
Because it means you've given up

I don't know how many seconds are in an hour
And I don't know why the leaves on tall trees turn downwards before it rains
And I still don't know how to add integers
But I do know that life is magical
And smiles are made of fairy dust
And kisses are made of sugar
And that there is noting more beautiful than getting back up
No matter how many times you've been knocked down.

Could I have found the one?
Could you be mine?
Could this work?
Could we be what we were looking for?
I guess we'll find out

ever since we started
doing whatever this is,
I have been singing
in the kitchen,
I have been playing
happy songs too loudly,
I have been getting
out of bed with a smile.
your touch is electrifying
and my god, how I miss you
whenever you're not around.
I can't stand being away from you,
I hate not kissing you
and all the time not spent
in the proximity of your lips
is wasted.
