I don't know what to do
I don't know who to be
I don't know how to tell you
That I don't know me

I'm a shape shifter
I've been this since birth
I'm a different person
Every day on this earth

I'd been someone else
For so very long
That I couldnt see myself
And everything felt wrong

Until one day
In the middle of the night
I woke to a woman
such a beautiful sight

In her eyes I saw
The perfect reflection
Of a man
With familure complexion

I know what to do
I know who be be
Because I love you
And you love me
Needs some work...

I'm forgetting so much this year
They charge a memory for every tear
The last thing I remember came crashing from my eye
and now I have no reason left to cry.
Blessed are the forgetful
for they get the better even of their blunders.

It was eighth grade band
the very first day
I'd been a member for years
and I knew how to play

But I looked across the circle
and time stopped dead
I couldn't catch my breath
and the thoughts left my head

That moment stretched on
for what seemed like a year
I was overwhelmed with bliss
and consumed with fear

I never believed
in love at first sight
but there she was
she shone so bright

But this isnt a fairy tale
with a happy end
we still see eachother
but she calls me a friend

I still lover her
but it matters not
she moved on
my love she forgot

I'll cherish that moment
for the rest of my days
when I saw the only girl
I will love...always.

— The End —
