it was one of those things you couldn't capture.
it was just everything,
and everything
just was.

up there in the sky way high
is where a star once shone
until it fell out of the sky -
but even in this darkness
it condensed its superpowers

until it was infinite.

so in your darkest of times
grab onto all  
shining stars of love you have
and condense it deep within your mind
until it is also
infinite.

in this life we spend so long
pursuing happiness . . .

we often forget
to take a moment
and just be happy.
I was inspired by a quote I saw...

the only one
that i can understand

is myself.

the only one
that i can trust

is myself.

yet why do i not know what i am feeling
and why do i lie to myself in my mind...

You talked about the hours
I know what you mean
Two cocoons spinning around each other
Waiting to be born

Nothing personal was the agreement
After awhile

It gets lonely
With nothing else to do but be inside

Not wanting to hide
Or collide
Do we really have that much time?

Two cocoons spinning
You became a butterfly
I became a moth
You flew west
I flew north.
The title is one of my favorite Bob Dylan lines from Your Going to Make Me Lonesome When You Go...

"Promise" has 7 letters.

So does:
"Moved on"

But, I have a 7 letter promise to you:
"I'll wait"
Seven is my lucky number. I hope this promise will be lucky enough to be true.

the late night talks of life and love are so hard to come by
as the night consumes our tears
and the moonlight shines like a thin cloak of white on our faces...

we are together through a connection that permeates our skies even if we’re miles and miles apart as we ask each other about the minor and the significant.

for a moment it felt like i was cared about.
but like everyone else i had let see in
you were first to say goodnight .
