you're not what I want
and I'm not what you need
but together in the dark
it's hard to say: "leave."

I called you -
no, you called me.
does it even matter?
does it change anything?

and I often wonder
as we lie here, we two.
what it would be like
to really love you.

but I won't go looking
for something not there.
I'll enjoy tonight -
the smell of your hair.

-h.l.

I can't help but think of you
on quiet nights like this;
as much as my homework needs to be finished
my feelings for you have not diminished.

But for now I sit here alone...

I'll keep on having one-way
conversations, with paper and a pen
with the hope that one day,
I may see you again.

But for now I sit here alone.

I don't dream at night
I have lived a thousand dreams
Named along a spine

You're not what I want
And you're not what I needed.
But still, you are here.

How, ephemeral
Are the moments spent with you -
Lost in azure eyes.

Off in the distance
The sun slowly sinks away
And so ends our day.

The miles slip on by underneath a starry sky
in an unlit countryside; bringing me closer to you.
But time slips by too, and darling I can't shake the feeling
that it seems to be pulling me
farther from you.
