The street is illuminated in that shade of orange that makes everything liminal and we move in an opposite direction as the runners. It seemed funny back then— like fish veering away from its school and maybe that’s what we are. As we sink our feet in the slightly muddy field and we sit without care of our light-colored jeans, the fireflies light the dimmest corners. We ooh and ahh like children and maybe that’s what we are. Boy and girl with no faces, no names. I know you by a monosyllable still I come, still, like strangers made bolder by the circumstance and maybe that’s all we are.

What We Were on an Evening in June
You taught me to accept that one can never know everything because if we had the answer to everything and a written explanation for every star in the sky and why flowers bloom and die repeatedly within every season. Then life would be no fun and the excitement of the unknown would only be a concept. I quite like it that I can look into your eyes and can’t pinpoint the feeling in my heart, yet I know it’s called love. As if it flutters at the mystery that lies behind it.

I saw you over there, Across the street. A beautiful angel, With a smile, Even more pretty. I glance your way, I can't help it. I trip, I almost fall, But its totally worth it. You saw me looking, Catching my gaze, Holding it. My heart races, My body starts to sweat. I look away, Panicking. I take a moment, To act like I wasn't looking. Eyes darting around, Pretending; Like I was looking for something. I gather up the courage, To look at you once again. I turn my head to you. And all I see, Is an angel, Smiling back at me.

Over There
"No, let's not exchange notes..." "It's not okay to compare our love for each other," I said. "What are you scared about?" He questioned. "Scared of you losing... Me."

Not fair.
When she first saw him, he came fearless wearing red She was uncomfortable, in her usual black And by that Anyone could say they didn't match Although they got along It was clear that something would go wrong A mischievous boy Falling for a broken heart girl Who would dare to believe that from it A love could grow? The girl didn't know how bad this boy could get And she had confidence to let him in Like with somebody else she never had He stabbed a knive at her back While saying "I love you," "I don't know why you always so sad" One day the girl realized that she didn't deserve to be treated that way She wasn't able to save him from his demons 'Cause he wanted to be bad anyway Didn't take long To the boy realize he was wrong And so he got hit by the epiphany of all the bad things he had done All the pain he caused, he felt in his own guts And with this sad ending They part from each other Now the broken hearted, As so deserved, was him

About me, you and the tragedy we called "dating"
I see the pain behind your eyes Drowning your hopes for tomorrow Love will wear many a disguise To find a way through your sorrow You feel you’re lonely everywhere The world to you seems so unkind All this time no one seemed to care Your heart will show the light, you’ll find The truth of your soul comes your way The mind will only deceive you Just when it seems you’ve gone astray You know your troubles will leave you Call my name I’ll be there somehow Remember the love you found here Every day when you need me now Through the spirit, we are bound here Falling like a star from the sky Falling like an autumn leaf does By your side, till the day I die This is how falling for you was You can hold me deep in your heart You will remember true love’s place When your world seems to fall apart Think of me just stroking your face Our true love is deeper than deep It takes you from the burning pyre With a little work, you can keep The truest love you most desire

Closer
I seen you in the hallway And at the shoe store The other day Each day I wanted more Knowing you couldn't feel the same way I was broken, downed, Rescued I seen you around And our story continued And my heart started to pound It was raining I stole a kiss The night was waning Why can't I hold all this bliss Your lips left me wanting

Wanting
Stranger; looking away. Smiled, then she walked away. Sexy hips shaking as she walks a way. Stranger; looking a way, as she walks away.
