Mid-western kids rebellious with ideas.
Trying to make it on our own,
while holding onto youth.
A sea of twenty somethings finding themselves, getting lost in love.
Anxiety.

You should be engaged by now,
when do you want to have kids?
What's your 5 year plan?

Just a few questions we dodge every day,
trying to be yourself when everyone wants you to be someone else.

For the first time in four years,
I don't feel like I'm in love with any of the guys I used to miss.
In fact, I'm over it.
Over them.
But I can't tell where my current boyfriend is in all of this.
I feel lonely when he sits right next to me because he's always playing video games. We don't even sleep together, and when we do have ***, I give everything and get nothing.
I don't know, I'm lonely.
I feel like I'm walking through life alone.
And I think I always will.
Nobody can love me like I can love them.

Do you know how sometimes you have this one thing that makes you happy, even for a little bit.
Like a drink. A certain kind that's your favorite. You'll drive to three different gas stations looking for it, because nothing else tastes the same.
No matter how hard you look for something else, it never measures up.
That feeling of momentary happiness is gone.
Even if one comes real close, you know it'll never be your favorite.
Well.
You are my sno berry peace tea.
You are it for me.
No matter how hard I try.
After three Angry Orchards and ****.

It's so strange how your drunken words can change the way I see myself in the mirror.
You are the guy a girl doesn't want to resist.

I feel like Patsy Cline,
walking alone at midnight searching for her love.
Replaying the soundtrack of us over and over in my head.
Having too much fun taking showers together,
laughing our heads off on the couch.
Going for a drive and ending up in our spot overlooking the highway.
Early morning and late night trips to Tim Hortons, Waffle House and IHOP.
Listening to The Beatles, Daft Punk and Alt-J.
I wish I could remember the sound of your voice when you called me beautiful.
I wish I remembered what it felt like to be in your arms.
I wish I remembered your laugh.
However I do remember how proud, how elated, I was to be standing next to you.
You are sunlight and everything good in the world and everyone knew it.
I wish I knew if you missed me.

I am so physically sick of this horrible feeling in my stomach every day.
It forces tears to just waterfall out of my eyes.
And I can't stop.
It feels better.
I feel more than ever that I need someone to take care of me.
I don't want to feel this way anymore.

Sometimes my thoughts come and go so quickly that I feel dizzy.
