Hello Haley
Sweetheart, don't blame me if I'm not the typical girl.
I won't tip toe around puddles,
I'll pull you in with me.
I won't pick around my food,
I'll pile my plate high.
I won't be embarrassed to make a stupid face.
I'll open up like a book in front of you,
And I'll be yours to read.
I'll do all this only if you do the same for me.

what can i say;
the truth hurts
the truth is a never ending battle
of life or death
of pain
tell the truth
tell the lies
either way you'll end up
the bad guy
the lies hurt
the lies are nothing but a sorry excuse
of hurtful agony
of a road leading to despair
tell whatever you please
tell them all
either way they'll wind up
hating you more
than you already do yourself

Hello Haley
You walked out the door and I fell apart.
I know you'd never leave me, but the last one did.
You raised your voice and I began to cry.
I know you'd never hurt me, but the last one did.
You raised your hand and I flinched.
I know you'd never hit me, but the last one did.

I know it bothers you for me to act this way.
My record's been scratched and I don't know if I can play.
Maybe I can forget and start over new.
So forgive me, baby, because I've not had someone like you.

i kept thinking of
maybe telling him how i
felt about him.
it sounds stupid but
i feel like not only would he
be sweet about it but
that he'd open up his arms and
say that he wants us to be close.
no, i do not mean he'll leave his
fiancé for me, but as in
friendship close.

when even after i graduate
nothing with matter.
we'll be friends and still talk,
go out for a coffee and have a chat.
we'll have a great friendship.
thats all i want.
i just... i want him.
to want to be around him,
and know him and see him
for who he truly is.

i want him to be honest and loving
and funny and kind and my friend.
i want him to be weird with me and to
smile even when i look so, so terrible and for him
to still teach me things even though im not
his student anymore.

i want him.
but, it looks like I'm not even
describing a friendship anymore.

Where the summer is reluctant to leave its throne
And the winter will leave no stone unturned
To claim its reign, to cast its spell  
Oh October, how i love your dwell
there was a time when I was young
in my nest of blankets on saturday mornings
watching the same cartoons over and over again
I had seen almost every episode of every show they played
but I didn't mind
I just said the words along with the characters
and lived
I'm scared,
That I've lost you forever.
That's something I cant seem to bear.
You were my everything,
But yet i'm the one who left.
I was stupid.
But you have found another,
I lost my chance.
I lost you.
