So I've been feeling head backwards
but I'm not trying to make it feel right.
I find it funny you want the sunshine,
and all the comedy in the dark **** gets left to me,
but I didn't come here to berate you,
belittle you, or condemn you.
I came here because although I don't miss love,
well, I kinda miss you.
You are my center when I spin
out of control, up and away,
beyond the clouds.
You are my gatekeeper when I
try to run away from everything.
I try to run away.
I didn't make any reservations for this,
this time or point in reality,
yet here I am.
For you.
I've asked myself a lot of questions,
and tried to stuff the answers in my pockets
and run out the doors before anyone
can grab me. Not this time.
I don't really know why.
I don't, and I didn't miss love,
but honestly, I missed you.

Time keeps marching on.
We are powerless to stop it.
Our strongest forces
Cannot halt the ticking story.
But
What we can do
Is stretch it out—
Stretch time out—
Make every second count,
Fill every minute
With the beating hearts of life.
That is what we can do.
That is how we can remain strong
In the wrinkled, weathered face
Of Time.

Quality beats quantity any day of the week,
And if you want to be strong first you have to be weak,
This great existence is anything but bleak,
You have to keep climbing in order to reach the peak,
Listen carefully mother nature she speaks,
In the sound of the wind and from the eagle's beak,
To enjoy the cool first you must feel the heat,
Just dance to the rhythm of your own heart beat.

When I was younger, all I ever dreamt of was touching the stars
and holding them in my hands,
feeling the warmth and the beauty that was so bright and blinding
it almost hurt to look at.
I wanted to know what that felt like.
I thought that if a car drove fast enough, it could reach the sun
and if a plane flew high enough, it would take me to the stars.
Now I know that the stars burn your fingertips
and if you touch the sun, you die.
I don't think I'll ever understand why
something that looks so beautiful
and pure can be so deadly up close.
I was always taught to be realistic
but sometimes I can't help but think that we deserve
to have beautiful things.
Maybe this is why I was silly enough to believe in you.

I remember that it hurt, seeing you hurt.
These lives we lead so different but intertwining;
Each filled with its own pain and anguish.
I don't want it to hurt.
I just want everything to be the way it was before
When I was slowly falling for you
When there wasn't a care in the world
There was only you & I
But right now,
everything hurts.
Being with you hurts.
