There are a million moments
I wish to spend with you
A million moments
I missed with you

Every faded sunset and
Every single drop of rain
Every star we have yet to see and
Every moon to be admired

I just want to remind you that
The world is wonderful and
I want to share it with you
Every moment of it

"Tell me what I gotta do"
"There's no getting through to you"
No matter how hard I try
You're holding back and I don't know why

"You say I can't understand"
"But you're not giving me a chance"
To listen, to help, to love you, to dance
Every time I get closer
You run from the exposure

"You keep running like the sky is falling"
But really it's just me, with your name I'm calling
I've bled myself open with honest truths
Now "tell me how to fall in love with you the way you want me to"

Quit hiding from me,
All I want to do
Is care for you,
Intimately

Let me care
You've seen me so bare
This burden we can share
It's hardly fair
Why aren't you there?
This poem features lyrics from Linkin Park's "Talking to Myself" and Ed Sheeran's "Cold Coffee"

You always told me to think of the stars
But tonight when I looked up to the sky
All I could see was the bright shining moon
And I took it for a sign

You painted the sun, and I the moon
Those were the roles we chose to consume
We always admired the stars, together
But tonight only the moon chose to shine

Only I was visible in the sky
Selfishly and greedily capturing the eye
All for it’s self, all for me
No other other-worldly distraction to share with

Perhaps it is time
I focused once more on myself
Less on the you, less on the us
And more on the me, the moon

I was looking for a thought
And look, here I have found it
Down at the bottom of this bottle
That made me forgot
How ironic that this is where it’d be

The thought of you
I tried to bury
Beneath all the ***** and Hennessey

But look, here it is anyway
How persistent
I might have forgotten
Maybe for only a minute

But here it is again,
At the bottom of this bottle
Of all the drink to make me forget
Just brings you back up as my final regret

I am looking for a thought
I lost it when
I looked into those eyes
A brilliant blue
So deep I caught
Myself swimming
In that icy hue
Along with all every thought
I had swirling by me
Washed away by that view
And suddenly my mind was swimming
Swimming with the thought of you

I was swimming in your eyes
Swimming Swimming
All my thoughts
Swimming by

When you caught my stare
You did declare
Something I couldn’t quite catch
I reeled myself back to reality
But my thoughts were still swimming
Trying to catch up with me

My thought resurfaced
I found it at last
I was only coming over
To ask for your pencil, real fast?
I'm not sure which I liked better... I'm going to play with this idea of a thought lost and found... I think it's a fun idea that I can do a lot with.

I am looking for a thought
I lost it when I looked into
Those brilliant blue eyes of yours
So deep
I found myself swimming
In their color along with
Every thought I had swirling by me
My mind was swimming with the thought of you
I was swimming in your eyes
Swimming Swimming
All my thoughts
Swimming by

When you caught my stare
You did declare
Something I couldn’t quite catch
I reeled myself back to reality
But my thoughts were still swimming
Trying to catch up with me

My thought resurfaced
I found it at last
I was only coming over
To ask for your pencil, real fast?

I'm trying to play it cool
but I can't help holding my breath
and playing the fool
