If the lizards tail
Is to ever be cut off
It always grows back

I told her I'd never fallen in love
with an alien before

She gave me an odd glance

And then I told her she was out of this world

She chuckled and smiled

And at that moment
it became evident

*Her lips don't even have to touch mine for me to get lost in them

She was a deep woman.
And he wasn't prepared to hold his breath
long enough to reach her soul.

When I meet my end.
I don't want
anything less than,
a life of laughs
and love.
I life were struggles
only made me strong.
And then hopefully...
When my wrinkles
are all but trophies,
of all the many year's
I've seen,
I'll be able to look back
and breath them in,
so very, very
slowly
Knowing that it was,
in fact.
the best it could've possibly
been.

They say love is forever,
But forever is a lie.

They say to keep looking up,
To find your name spelt across the sky.

They say you'll always be mine,
Frankly lately I couldn't be bothered tryin'.

They say you can't be my friend,*
*We'll have to see what happens in the end.

There--she's standing right there.
Just do it. Just say it.
Deep breath. It's okay.
"Hey so I know we've talked and stuff and I know we're just friends and I KNOW we're really different but....I like you and...I...I mean....forget it."

No. The nerves come again and
I leave her standing there.

And another day will pass, and a week, and a month
And even if I've recited it so many times in my head
I never tell her because it feels so wrong

Because every time I've done it before in the past
We grow more distant than
before.

So I'll leave her be and wait quietly on the side
Hoping....that, for once, she'll come for me.
