I am never the same person twice, different from who I was yesterday
I've made a habit of breaking and rebuilding numerous times

So do not worry about returning the pieces you've taken

Like cells slowly replacing every inch of my skin
There will be parts of me you would have never been

Your smile reminds me
of my favorite song
And if I could,
I'd keep it on repeat all day long

I want a lazy kind of love
Too early to acknowledge the sun peeking through the window blinds
Too comfortable to disentangle arms and legs and sheets between us
Just enough warmth to forget all the plans we've made for the day
And that lazy smile resting on your face saying good morning everyday

Would you say hello to a stranger like me?
The one in the back with the smile you can't see
Her nose in a book and a coffee in hand
Listening to rhythm of an unknown band

Would you say hello? Would you take a chance?
Be the first man to ask my hand for a dance
Be brave enough cause the chances could be
I'm sitting here hopin that you would notice me

Would you say hello? Cause it could all start from here
No one really knows but we might find something rare
A chance of holding on to something that's true
A chance that you're mine and I'm for you
Another old poem in all its cheesy glory. Still one of my favorites :)

Here in the city under these bright urban lights
I hear people calling their dreams to come alive
Out there where scrapers tend to touch the sky
I'd give anything for that one angel's smile

Somewhere in the world, someone's gazing at the stars
Another stranger is sitting alone in the corner of a bar
Out there where possibilities come in endless strings
Somebody's wondering what tomorrow will bring

Facing the endless sea towards the waking of dawn
A new life opens as the past comes undone
On the other side, twilight collects the remains of the day
Memories are fading and sands are washed away

Show a little kindness
Shine a little light
When you're used to the darkness
Anyone can seem like Mr. Right

I will not tell you to stop being sad or that there is no need to worry because you and I know that depression and anxiety don't work that way. Telling someone to stop being sad is like telling someone with OCD to stop locking the door 36 times or telling someone with asthma to "just breathe". Pure and utter *******. So instead, I will tell you to cry, cry until you've created an ocean of the abyss that lives within you. Wallow in self pity, swim with your sadness and dive in all that negativity. Just keep in mind that what I'm telling you is to swim, not sink. Keep swimming, swim as far as you can, swim until your body aches with fatigue, until your muscles cramp or until you get sick of the water. Then when you've decided you've had enough, comeback to the shore and there I'll be waiting.  Once we've dried you off, I will rebuild you with donuts and icecream.
For the pineapple to my watermelon.
