This girl I know
She's afraid to love
And to be loved
But she can't be alone

She cries into her pillow
Wishing some one
Would love her
She craves what she fears most

I see this girl every day
Fall out of bed
Looking dead
Alive but not living like she could be

Because of past trial and errors
Her heart is torn up
And shriveled dry
Like a desert before the sky cries

And she looks at this boy
Every day
With a love and passion
Stronger than fear

She just wants to love
And be loved
She desperately clings to the hope
That her demons will fly away

She wants him to water her heart
Clear out the tumble weeds
And make permanent residence
Where it matters most

And this girl stares back at me
With deep gray blue eyes
And her freckles litter her face
The girls lips full and round

The girl tells me I am pretty too
Even though I know I'm not
Because reflections are deceiving
Not even I can comfort myself

We don't kiss because someone taught us that two people in love are supposed to kiss. We kiss because there are moments that I see you and you see me and our lips are our only way of communicating, but the things we feel have no words, and maybe we think that putting them together is the best fix. Honestly, I don't care. Neither do you. Because I love you, and I know I use those words a lot, but if you only understood how much of my day is consumed with that exact thought, and kissing you.. Well, that's just the best **** thing I've ever felt.
                                                
I know a spot with a wall where the sunset lines the horizon perfectly. There'll be a silhouetted picture of us for the rest of our lives. Reminding us that we've always loved each other. So much, we watched the sun die with your hand in my hand.
Come here baby. There's not much time.. Come be with me. There's an entire world waiting to see what we can do.
