I met a girl that was in love with the past.
She kept a photograph with her everywhere she went.
It was the photograph of her and an ex.
"He will come back one day," She spoke.

I met a girl that was set on the future.
She kept a calendar in her purse at all times.
It was as if every day had something significant occurring.
"So many good things are happening!" She believed.

I met a girl who was focused on the present.
Every opportunity that arose she would take.
It was a second nature for her to live life to the fullest.
"It seems wrong not to." She was convinced.


Remember the girl that was in love with her past?
Yeah well, her ex never came back.
She looked forward to the future, when she'd find a new lover.
She ripped the photograph.

Remember the girl who carried the calendar?
It became booked.
She never had free time, and wanted to live in the moment.
She threw the schedule away.

And the girl who looked forward to every day?
She became old.
She couldn't do all that she wanted to do, and frequently looked back on the past.
She smiled constantly.

We are all on a journey of life.
Each day is filled with opportunities.
Don't wait till it is too late to realize it.
"Today is a gift, that's why the call it the present."

To the all the guys I have kissed:

My first,

I thought you were sweet
too bad it didn't last

My drunkness,

I don't know who initiated it
perhaps it is better that way

My first boyfriend,

I thought you meant it
but I was the one who felt it.

My mistake,

You were a rebound.
I was payback.

My foolishness,

You leaned in and I felt bad.
Guess guilt is a nasty emotion.

My first love,

You wrote a song I loved to sing,
I wish you never forgot the words.

My payback,

I am sorry I used you,
I cried when I got home.

My sorrow,

I wish you told me you had a girl friend,
so I can break your neck, they way you'd break her heart.

We were the Sun and the Earth
He gave me warmth, I gave him purpose.
He lit me up, I gave him a reason.

However, like the Sun and the Earth,
our orbit was an ellipse,
close to being perfect, but was always a little off.

I walked right past him in the hall today,
it reminded me of house the Earth revolves around the sun once a year.
Then, the distance grows.

I know you don't realize it,
but the Earth needs the Sun to function.
Then it hit me.

I have forgotten
I was one planet out of 9.
And I needed you more than you needed me.

They say you write about one of two things:

Either the last day of summer,
when you're sitting at the edge of a cliff with your 3 best friends.
You're talking about the future and realize they're the only ones who had your back.
You watch the sunset and plan to take on the world together.

Or you can write about the day after that,
when you and your friends split up in 4 different ways.
You never speak to them again.
The only thing you have left is a bunch of strangers,
decorated in picture frames.
