She's not gone. She's still right here.
In your smile, in your laugh,
in that awkward way you stand sometimes.
In that urge to break out into a song or dance.
In the way the wind blows your hair toward the mountains, making you gaze over them in amazement, knowing that is where you belong.
She is in the sudden bursts of artistic inspiration.
She is in every flower that opens, every star that sparkles, and every time you think of the word love. She is there, smiling with you, laughing with you, dancing with you.
Dear, hold your heart close.
Avoid bulls in china shops;
their thrill is short-lived.

I wish I got amnesia,
because every time that I see her,
I remember that I love her.

I'm a born leader,
But I'd follow her into the fire.
There's nobody above her.

I wish I got amnesia,
because every time that I see her,
I remember that I need her.
I want to get drunk with you
Allow our intoxicated senses to take flight
Speak all the words we are afraid to say with a sober mind
For fear that we might actually believe each other
I want to fall, stumble accidentally into your lap
Let us think back on times I did it on purpose
When you pulled me into you
When things were so much easier
We are playing the same game but describing it in different words
This toy of text messages cutting into my throat
I endeavor to remember that we are only friends
I know that I should be over this by now
But I want to get drunk with you
To tell you that I am not
You
My mind void of all thought.
Except for you.

Not one person is kind.
Except for you.

Not one person speaks.
Except for you.

Not one person cares.
Except for you.

I have not one person to love.


Except For You.
For BB
And god sent forth his most beautiful angel
in order to help me clear my head.
But I ripped her halo off and ***** her instead.

And the devil sent forth his most cunning succubus
in order to make me drop dead.
But I held her horns like handlebars when I took her to bed.
