The coke lines
act like friends
Gone in a blur

Inhale another hit of the nitrous
To feel any thing else but pain
hallucinations to keep me compamy.

The intensity of the television
Casting silhouettes along the wall
Distract me from silence

I feel empty,
so I drink till the bottle feels empty,
that way I'm not alone anymore.

Meet me in the clearing
In the forest of my dreams
We can lay by a fire
And count the stars
Pointing out shapes
In the cotton candy clouds
Drinking until we’re dizzy
And bathing in the moonlight
You and I, side by side
All through the night

Where are you?
What are you doing now?
Under this endless sky, are you there?
A future where we all smiling and happily laughing
Is what I always dream of
Yet like the passing summer wind on that day
It disappeared

A story that just about to begin
Ended without any warning
Memories of distant past I recur to remember
Yet I can’t see your face
Like how the grains of sand in my hands keep on slipping;
You too, had slipped away

Where are you?  
What are you doing now?
Are you looking at the same sky I am looking now?
I keep on praying all my wishes
Yet it seems it was never heard
As my voice was drowned out by the cry of cicadas

Returning to those times I deeply longed
The cicadas say it's too late
But still I keep on praying that I’ll reach out to you
That on the other side of this sky you are there
Please believe in me when I say
"Please be happy. I love you."

Where are you?
What are you doing now?
Even it will rain, there will still be an endless blue sky after
So let's start over once more
And hope that the ending will be happy this time
As the cicadas sing their song
Let’s go home and hold hands
Meeting you is a miracle. And to meet you once again is a dream. Inspired from Higurashi no naku koro ni song Dear You

We can't go backwards
But if we could it would be
To that very night

Holding each other
Time standing still
And a blissful,
Extremely tender
Loving innocence
Surrounding us

No passion
Just simple love
Where a simple touch
Can sing a hundred songs

It's cold outside but I hear seagulls
It feels like October or November
Mixed with a little bit of May
It reminds me of pumpkin farms and beaches
Both associated with good times
Paired with past people
Forevers gone all wrong

Memories of goats and cookies
Almost send me into an attack of anxiety
Heartbeat racing and limbs get weak
I have to concentrate on my breathing
Cause I can't afford to fall right now

The beach reference comes from the smell
It's probably dead fish
But it reminds me of lakes
Like the one we went fishing on
Or the one we swam in with my family
Different waters carry the same smell
And remind me of the same person

My most intense triggers seem to be the weather
Which is ****** cause I can't escape it
So I keep driving
Heat up
Windows sealed
To escape these broken memories
Now broken people
And it's all my fault

I fell in love with brown eyes,
Yet they were no longer brown.
They were an amber
Ambers sparked into flames
In the rings of their iris
I wanted every gold fleck of light
On the rusted mahogany
Twisting bridges
Flickering under their shadowy dark lashes
To lead the way
And I didn't care where.

I fell in love with green eyes
Yet they were no longer green
They were a forest
Dark and mysterious
With dense mossy rifts
Entwined with one another
You lose yourself in seconds
If you go too far
The streaks of sparkling champagne
Sunlit rays peaking through
Leafy Junipers and evergreens

I fell in love with blue eyes
Yet they were no longer blue
They were brighter than the sky
Deeper than the ocean
A sea
Of teal
Waves of sapphire crash down
Circling the endless abyss
Dilating
And
Expanding
Making even tears glimmer like diamonds
As they fall down their cheek

I fell in love with hazel eyes
The iris that changes from day to night and over again
Swirls of chestnut coffee in a mug
sitting on a bed of green grass
The taupe and raw umber trees drape over
shading the circular meadow
sunshine peaking through
kissing the green with gold
and a bright blue sky
lighting it all

I fell in love with the window
To their soul
True emotions
Not being deceived by the smile on their face
Personality dripping down like tears
I fell in love with the truth.

do you still believe?
that if you close your eyes
you’ll dream once more.
of a world we built
under the glow of stars.

each night as i pull the covers tight around me,
i wonder if you still dream
with me. of me. of us.

i must be insane to still stay up,
waiting for you to crawl back under,
to these once vibrant dreams now turned grey.

but you know what they say about dreams,
‘don’t give up on them.’
and that is the reason why after all this time,
still i keep sticking glow in the dark stars up on my ceiling.
may they light the way back to dreamland.

this was kinda inspired by, you guessed it, the greatest showman's "a million dreams," i love that song. so. freaking. much. (so many tears.)
