i've had moments
here and there in golden
sneakers and navy blue
lace covered dresses
but i'm not the girl
in an owl city song
not something worth
writing dreamy poems
about not so lovestruck you
replace your words with dada

9/18/18
same sneakers
same dress
same faces
fresh sweat

suddenly the stars
all fall together
and my life comes
careening full circle

your arms around my waist
flashing blue lights
in our eyes as i scream
every word that kept me
sane through years of
hopelessness and rain

you move your mouth
trying your best to
sing along with me
but it all comes out dada

and shockingly
blindingly
i can see myself
clearly

and i find myself at last
the girl in an owl city song
hand in hand with
my very own adam young

now i know
all wishes come true
even the ones you didn’t
realize you made

and isn’t it the most
incredible
impossible
cosmic destiny
how years after we stop
dreaming
when we storm on through
washed out hopes

one day the pieces
just fall into place
with closure and new
beginnings all at once

rainbows and clouds
epiphanies and ecstasy
dreams and the dreamers
you and me

Constellations of stars bend from heaven
To envelope you and kiss your soft lips.
But here I am drinking from the ocean
To forget about the sway of your hips.
I'll fall asleep and doze off either way
After writing you a letter saying
I miss how you pray: "it'll be okay",
Cause I wish you were here, under my wing.
See, the galaxies between my fingers
Are right where your planets fit perfectly.
Now come down, step away from the dreamers
Let me sweep you up for eternity.
If my voice could reach you, I'd sigh in your ear:
"Oh darling, my love, I wish you were here."
Sonnet based off of Vanilla Twilight by Owl City. I made this last year (April 17th) and there may be mistakes in the sonnet format!
You never grasped the fact
The reason
Why you, singing that song
meant a lot to me.

So I will put this plainly.
You are my home.
But ironically,
You are my north too.
And it is my heart...
If my heart is a compass
It would definitely always point to you.

You took my hand, and asked me to stay, away .
I stared into your eyes, and you took my heart, apart .

But I love you, oh I love you,
Heaven knows it's true,
If you were gone, oh if you were gone,
I'd have no one to hold on to.

I saw you leave, and tell me goodbye, goodbye .
Everything was sad, and you left my side, to hide .

But I love you, oh I love you,
Heaven knows it's true,
If you were gone, oh if you were gone,
I'd have no one to hold on to.

It made me small and full of pity,
So I took my refuge in the Owl City, in the Owl City
I took refuge in the Owl City.

But I love you, oh I love you,
Heaven knows it's true,
If you were gone, oh if you were gone,
I'd have no one to hold on to.
*But I took refuge in the Owl City
Tribute to Owl City
Made me want to scream
When I knew I wanted it
The impossible.
It made me want to scream,
The way I /knew/ that it was what I had wanted for /all these long months/
But it was impossible to achieve.

Not anymore. >:)
It's out, it's out,
It's finally out!
The song that I've been waiting for;

Owl City
Lets me download for free
But I'm on my iPod, so I have to wait for the morn.
