Almost five years ago she was the first one to say hello to me,
Who would of known that such a simple thing like one word could change your whole life,
Here I sit writing this five years later,
Two days after our biggest fight,
She said hello and I said hi back that was all,
The spark of the best friendship that I've ever had and it started with hi just because I was new,
Her and I have been through so many things,
From helping her realize the controlling boyfriend she had when I met her to dealing with the new one,
From being friends to best friends,
I go everywhere with her and I never really thought much about it,
I always had feelings for her and sometimes I expressed them other times I felt  best not to,
I never thought she understood,
Until two days ago during our biggest fight,
She said I can't be your friend any longer,
When I asked why she said,
Because I can't be near you without wondering what we'd be like together,
Funny how things seem to work,
I guess that maybe when life throws you a lemon it's really just not quite ripe enough to give you candy,
It's funny to think that when she said "hello" she started my....
...
my butterfly effect.
Procrastination?
What is that I've never heard of such a thing.
But maybe because I'm to busy procrastinating to hear it,
I am mike,
I am not a poet, a leader, a storyteller, or an academic,
I am a dreamer, a gamer, a man of many things,
I would rather let life pass me by and sit in my game,
Than to deal with the drama of reality.
It is not that I don't like reality,
It is that reality is too busy,
With school and work
Facebook and friends
Learning and imagining
Are they even one in the same
I love my games because it allows my mind to run wild
From building empires in Minecraft to taming creatures in Pokemon
Games are a way I can re envision my world
They allow kids to show their creative side something education removed long ago.
So I stand before you asking,
What is procrastination,
I'd rather play my game and imagine.
My life seems to pass by but in my one life span I have lived dozens of others.
Once just Two little people
Now all grown
Far from me
All on their own 

Years fly by
Like a buzzing bee
Only 5 minutes ago
Both were Half the size of me

Now they're adults
Out in the big world
My handsome boy
And my baby girl

Always on my mind
And forever in this heart 
Regardless of how much
Distance apart

I look at a Map
Great distance I see
Of where they are 
And where I be

They're always with me
Their smiles give me mine
My Two little people
Are doing just fine 

I'd give anything
And then give even more
For my calendar to read
1994

Until the time machine
Is finally real 
I'll carry some sadness
That sweet memories kinda heal

If I had three wishes
I'd only need one
I'd wish a long lifetime of love
For my daughter and son
My life never seemed so dark until six days ago,
You walked right by as if I had never existed to you,
I was your closest friend and now I don't know what to think,
Everything I've known for so long is changing because,
He speaks his words like the serpent in the bible,
Changing everything you used to know and making it seem like the world is backwards.
The saying when one door closes another opens is usually true,
But it seems like there is a delay on my door.
Maybe I'm just trapped in your world,
Like a shadow,
Seen but uncared for during the day,
Vanishing in the night,
I am just the shadow in your night.
What is love
Thats the question everyone wants to know
Love is never letting go
Love is knowing they love you even when they are giving up
Love is not wanting to let go
Love is being scared to say good bye at night because you are afraid that in the morning they will be gone
Love is having your heart torn up in front of you a hundred times and still wanting more
Love is watching as they find someone else and knowing you will still be there for them
Love is waiting for that moment you fear will never come
Love is wanting to die rather than live without them
Love is being scared of getting everything you ever wanted except the one who mattered
Love is seeing them in everything you do
Love is crying at your favorite memories
Love is telling them every secret you've ever had
Love is listening to every song on the radio and thinking to yourself that is us
Love is that feeling that no matter what we do we cannot escape it
Love is staring deep into their eyes and knowing they love you
Love is being scared they won't be happy
Love is wanting them to leave when they have given up
Love is the one thing that scares everyone more than death
Love it faking a smile when it hurts to even think about life without them
Love is never wanting to wake up the next day because you know they are already gone
Love
This is what love is to me
But what the hell do I know I'm just a kid
Just a kid thats willing to give the world just to get a minute with her
He's just a kid
He cant understand love
He
.
.
.
Just
.
.
.
Can't
I know you love me but your with him,
I wish you were with me,
I wish I could hold in my arms forever,
I love your smile and your deep brown eyes,
Your gentle touch,
Your soft voice,
Oh girl I love you
There's not a minute
A second
A day
A week
A year
That goes by that I don't think about you
There are those moments
Those precious moments
That we spend together and then I realize
You two are still together
I start to fall
I'm losing it
Afraid
Scared
Alone
Yet I know that you love me
You want me
But you are more scared than me
What if I hurt you
What if I let you go
What if it's more than you ever expected
More than you
Than you ever wanted
What if it is was perfect
What if
What if
I think about that everyday
I would never hurt you
Never leave you
Never let you go
For 3 years
I've proved this
For 3 years
I've loved you
Give me the chance and I'll show you
I'll never leave you
I'll love you till the end of time
So now I let my emotions flow
Out everything comes
I can't hold it back anymore
The tide of emotion flows forward
This is how I see my world
This is why I need you
.
.
.
This is why
.
.
.
This is why I love you
When you said good bye,
I felt like I was gonna die,
Oh, I’m losing it all,
Baby I feel like I’m about to fall,
I’m just sitting here waiting for your call,
All of the sudden my heart stopped,
All of the sudden my pulse dropped,
Without you it feels like my life's been swapped,
Without you here I’m scared tonight,
Everyone keeps saying it’ll be alright,
But baby I just wanna see you in my sight,
I’m standing right here,
Oh I know your near,
Just show me that your there,
As I keep turning around,
I see my world crashing down,
Without you I feel like I’m gonna drown,
