When the day comes I get tired of dreaming about a stranger, maybe by then I can finally let go of my dearest and free myself from the love that consumed me.

Maybe by then, I can finally look at you without shedding any tears. And maybe I'll just laugh at the things I wrote about you; even this.

But right now, I can’t let you go―not today, not tomorrow or in the next few years―but someday, I will. And when that day comes and I remember you, maybe I’ll realize that I am far too young and naive now to know something about love, and that I only got swayed by the smaller traps of life. Just like how I found myself getting trapped by the love I have for you.

Someday, I will...

I'm just getting started my love
They said I'd forget you soon
Not to take it so seriously
But I can't live like that

I wanted to think of forever
I wasn't practicing how to love
I thought you deserved my best
I guess it's not good enough

I'm the one that got away
It's gonna come alive
You'll remember I knew
I knew how to love you
Because that's all I wanted to know

I don't want to make mistakes
I tried to figure you out
That's where I went wrong this time
Putting pieces together before they break

Now you want to say you're sorry
Somehow I'm more important than ever
Telling you it's ok so you can move on
And give a clean heart to someone new

I'm the one that got away
It's gonna haunt you
You'll wake up thinking of me
And how I was the right kind of fool
The right kind to fall in love with you

But I'll love again
Yes I'll love again
In spite of you
In spite of you

I've lost you more times then I've
lost my keys
And for years I've prayed to that saint
You know, the one who finds things that are misplaced
Can you tell by my expression
I stashed away all the maps and clues
And lately I can sleep at night
It feels strange to cherish a vacant conscious

Love!
I’m in it!
Love!
I’ve win it, no! WON it!
Oh **** it! I’m in it!
I wrote this the first time I fell in love. It still reminds me of that giddy optimism!

I was confined in a box
The only way I could talk to you was through a detrimental robot
I wish I said more
I wish I wasn't so torn
Goodbye my love.

I cried for so long
Because you couldn't hold on
I daydreamed for so long
Because you kept my spirit going on
Goodbye my love.

Although our time was short
You were my fort,
You were my temple
And I ******* praised you

Goodbye my love.

my pillowcase knows the secrest of us
I remember waiting for you and I thought I needed you more than the steady air in my lungs
like losing you would result in my own self-destruction
two days of silence and tears fell in my sleep
because you were the one and then you were a stranger
and just as briskly as I loved you I lost you
and I felt everything and then nothing at all
and I held you for a makeshift eternity
and you were something divine before I remembered a boy is just a boy

Thank you for letting her feeling something
You let her awake and feel
A feeling of pain
It's much better
Better than feeling nothing and numb

She's grateful you're the one who let her feel something
So in the end of the day
She could forget you without even trying
So she could live her life
Without your shadow in her mind
