"long time, no see,"
is what i'd say if i found you again
i probably won't find you again
but my heart is aching for you
my heart is hoping for you
and i need you

i was a pianist,
you loved to sing and make up lyrics to music
you woke me up from my solitary dreams of music
so beautiful, were your words
so innocent, were your words
you were the first new thing i heard

where are you now?
i miss our days of music
can we have one more day of music?
the place; time; songs would be different
even we would be different
maybe our old joys would be brought back in that instant

how have you changed?
i can't play piano, i'm too short to catch you like i did
but let me put my heart into mixtapes for you, and i will
you brightened my world in our old life
you were my ray of light in our old life
i have just one wish in this life



that we get to spend it together too.









hey, are you out there?
i only had two friends and you were one of them.

I spent my life
trying to please my family

It didn't work

I spent my life trying to
Please others


I spent my life......

Make it through make it true
Lay it bare if you dare
Banish doubt make it count
Look around you’ve made it there

Shout it far show your scars
Fill the day with twenty-four hours
This is it what we’ve got
Looks like **** but it’s ours

You see this life filled with strife
So much hurt so much pain
Now you win now you lose
One’s loss another’s gain

It wasn’t meant to be pretty
Empty towns ***** cities
People all around have issues
Insecure, lost and misused

You can choose to stay and fight
Assert yourself claim your rights
Or decide to turn away
Make your mark another day

Showing up is half the battle
Knocked down back in the saddle
It’s not the wins and the losses
It’s the learning it’s a process

At the end of the day
Stop and do the math
Those who've made hay
Don’t have to look back.

"love is deadly", he said, slowly killing me with his smile
