Those were the days
We'd collect stones
That fell from the sky
Pieces of the universe
On the palm of our hands

Those were the nights
We'd stand on your roof
And you'd show me the stars
As if you weren't a galaxy
In my eyes, already

Those were the days
You'd save me from the others
Who couldn't understand us
Because we were abstract paintings
And only made sense to each other

Those were the nights
My dreams were filled with you
Two kiss covered bodies
Entwined together on a bed of love
Not even time could tear apart

Those were the days
Those were the nights
Now they are but memories
From a lonely mind

Deeper I fall
Down this well
With no water.
Darkness takes my hand
And fear kisses my lips.
Take my eyes,
I was blinded by sight.
Guile was not a coat I wore,
But innocence keeps
None warm.
I reach for one moment
Any moment.
Sanity is fleeting.
"When life gives you lemon, make lemonade."
Freshen up your day with a glass of lemonade!!! :DD
Letting go of your dreams is like letting go of your existence in the world.
Reach them, and don't leave them.
Just like how you would save your soul and life in danger.
don't be afraid of obstacles ahead, it will soon clear out by the time you didn't realise it's existence.
I never told you that I was always good.
Nor do I told you that I was always true.
all my life I’ve been shackled and bound
with weights on my feet to keep me on the ground.
but then you came along with a ring of keys
and shackle by shackle, you set me free.

you took off my heavy shoes and rubbed my feet,
tied helium balloons to both wrists so I could fly,
then you unlocked the cage of my mind
and let my dreams spill out like water.

I float on these dreams from coast to coast,
and I fly with balloons, to the moon and the stars,
knowing that upon my return, you’ll be
waiting with open arms.

you removed the blindfold so now I can see
the best thing about you being you
is that you let me be me.
He sat there and stared at her,
Not in a creepy way -
She just made him think, that's all,
Think about why the kind of love he wanted seemed to be strange...for a teenager.

You see,
Everyone his age makes it sound like you only date a girl to get blow jobs and **** her and have ***.
That's all they talk about,
And also making out and groping ***** and ***.

But to him,
Love isn't that,
Love is cuddling,
Holding your girl close and telling her she's beautiful,
Love is trying to make her laugh and turning down every compliment she gives you with, "Don't forget that I'm also very stupid."
Love is never letting her leave you without telling her you love her.
Love is taking walks and holding hands,
And whispering thoughts and kisses on the cheek.
Love is being innocent 90% of the time, but using your other head 10% of the time.
To him,
That's what love is - contradictory to the opinions of all his peers.

That girl he's staring at,
He loves her,
He doesn't imagine getting a ******* or ******* from her,
He can't - but it's not like he'd turn her down if she wanted to -
He can't imagine having *** with her,
He's too scared of pressuring her into doing it if she doesn't want to...
The kind of love that his heart beats for is the innocent kind,
The one where cute little memories are made,
Where there's less kissing and ******* and more talking and laughing and heart-to-heart's,
The kind of love he wants seems to be weird for a teenage boy,
So he stares at her,
Wondering if she would like a guy like him -
That's just him and love,
Love makes him weird...
His kind of love is weird.

*Is that the kind of love she wants?
It's funny how it's so much easier to use "he"  instead of "I"  xD
