A girl couldn't die
at least without her permission
her heart had a defect
a rare one indeed
A girl was immortal
at least until she loved someone
so she must pick wisely
because although a life
is an awful thing to waste
an eternity is much worse
so she bides her time
slowly and surely
she is with a boy
but for how long is the question
because when forever is actually forever
true love is a tough thing to mention

A boy got drunk
A boy woke up in the hospital
A boy's parents hate him
not him but what he had become
not what he was mind you
but what he had become
a boy didn't know what he was
he knew what he was to himself
but what he was to others
that's what was being called into question
this was new to the boy
he was used to being loved
of course he was still loved uncondotionally
but there was something inorganic
about the need to state it

*******
You want to know why every guy is constantly thinking about *******?
It's not because of any hormonal rage rage
or a Neanderthallic pre-ordained
sensation assaulting our brain
it has nothing to do with
***** or ****
or ***
or face
It's because in this world no woman is truly yours
until you **** her
and **** her right
Love is nice
compatibility is great

I miss you (lets get that out of the way)
2. We have not talked in 9 months
3. The reason for that is that our breakup wasn't great
4. It was barely a breakup because we were barely dating
5. I don't know if you wanted more but I know you knew that I wanted more
6. I told you I wanted more
7. The amount of time I've spent with you is about a thousand times less than I would have liked
8. I went to college and gave you an ultimatum
9. You chose to let me go
10. I made you hate me for that
11. I judge every girl I meet by how much they remind me of you.

I tried to tell Kyle this
but he hates me
Who can blame him though right?
What a ****** ******* role model I was
He was 17 when he found me cheating on his mother
I still remember the look in his eyes
he didn't care that it was the only time it happened
20 years he screamed at me
I had been married to his mother for 20 years
and that's what I did
I don't know why I'm telling you this
Kyle probably already has
I just want to give you my side
I met his mother when we were 11
we started dating immediately
like the first day we met
and then we got to high school
and everyone thought it was great we'd stayed together
then we got to college and then law school
and it was all the same
the praise
the admiration
it was like a drug to me
I loved that people thought we were perfect for each other
I LOVED IT
do you see what I'm saying
I didn't love her
I loved the idea
the idea felt right
50% of marriages end in divorce
people try to say that means love isn't real
but that's *******
Love is real
believe it
the truth is that Love is so scary
so ******* intimidating
that people will go out of their way to avoid it
they'll marry someone they don't love to avoid it
they'll stay with someone they don't love hoping it might show up someday
What you and Kyle have is real
It's special
and I know he'd never let me tell him this
so please please
Don't be the reason my son doesn't believe in true love
he already has me to blame

A boy and his father sat by a lake
fishing rods in the water
but no conversation in the air
the dad asked what he learned in school
the boy said nothing
as his hook remained afloat
ok the dad said
but one day ill be gone and you'll wish you had told me

That boy became a teen
concerned with bigger things
like girls and homework
and designer jeans
he had his first date
but declined to tell his dad
that's fine the dad said
but one day ill be gone and you'll wish you had told me

that boy became a man
who had a little trouble getting on his feet
he was afraid to go home
to the parents that raised him
he felt his failures were a disappointment
so he said he was fine alone
just know the dad said
one day ill be gone and you'll wish you had told me


That man landed a better job
and met the woman he loved
now he was secure
and everything was ok
He picked up the phone
and had so much to say
but it turns out that day
was one day

I'd call you
if I thought you'd respond
how did we get here?
how did we get like this?
why can we only come together when we are apart?
we can't keep doing this
eventually we will take a break
and the next time we see each other
you will be married
you will have a kid on the way
and I will know true pain
true regret
