You stood there alone
Broken heart clutched in your hand
Everything you knew shattered on the floor before you
You scanned the room
You looked at me helplessly
Now what?

So I took your hand and off we went.
That was the summer that I learned you.
Your heart,
Your mind,
And their constant battles.
But little by little,
Your broken pieces slid back together.
And I had never been so reckless,
As to cut myself on them as they did.
You were a part of me now.

I blame it on the music.
The way we fell in love,
It was to the beat of our own drum.
It was the way you looked at me
When our part of the song played.
Or how we danced in our classroom kingdom.
And kissed all of our own rules goodbye
As we naively and boldly,
Kissed the familiar passion
Hello.

Then I blinked
And I could've sworn that you'd be here when I opened my eyes
But life doesn't work like that
Time doesn't work like that.
And now you're gone.
Broken heart clutched in my hand
And I'm standing here alone
Everything I knew is shattered on the floor before me
Now what?

You love haiku poems
I only love being free
Love is different

I am not carrying the plague.

I am carrying the key to the future of music.
It slowly opens many doors.
The voices will crumble, should I lose it.

I am carrying a bulletproof shield.
Defending shots fired from sometimes the enemy,
But mostly from my own army.

I am carrying a pair of shoes.
With me, they have walked through the storms
And danced in the rays.

I am carrying a little light.
Although somedays it doesn't shine,
I call it Hope.

In my life, I am carrying many things.
Yet I am grateful,
For I am not carrying the plague.

Don’t you dare look at her like that

With those ocean eyes overflowing with love, with hope.
Don't let your lips curl up into that half smile 

Like you have three words you’d like to sputter out

But you can’t.

Don’t fall through the windows to her soul

Her’s are brown and bitter

Mine, blue and blissful 

Don’t let her beauty and the butterflies fool you

Because once you look at someone that way

There’s no going back

So don’t you dare look at her 

The way you’ve always looked at me

We ride in the car
Just like always
Your eyes scanning the road
And mine fixed on the horizon
Or on you.

And just like always
On comes our song
And just like always we sing along
You fumble over the bridge
I'm friends with every platform of it
You laugh, because the words don't matter.
Not to you, anyway.

Your lips released her name, yet again.
And for a moment, my sealed lips unlocked.
Out came lashing and biting words on that day.
And you fell silent.
When all I really wanted to know was:
Do you two have a song?
Do you stumble for those words too?
Every **** time...

Though she's beautiful
Outgoing
Abundant
Honest
I'm the one you always choose
I have so little to offer you
And she has so much.
Yet I know one day you'll listen to our song and you'll hear the words.
But by then, it'll be too late.
We'll be too late.

The thing about loving you
Is that I don't love all of you.
I don't love:
-Your arrogance
-How you push me away to look cool
-The way you get away with everything
-The look in your eyes that almost shows me your heart.

But here's the other thing about loving you,
Everyday I love something about you that I used to hate.
I love:
-Your passion
-How you make fun of the things I used to be so insecure about
-The way you'd do anything for what you love.
-The look in your eyes that almost shows me your heart.

So I guess that makes the score for the day:

You: 1
Me: 0

And eventually, I guess, the score will be:

You: All of me
Me: All of you

I'd like to buy a year.
A year for us, and us alone.
A year to realize what we've been missing all this time.

I'd like to buy a kiss.
A kiss for us, and us alone.
A kiss that ignites our somber and dreary souls.

I'd like to buy a song.
A song for us, and us alone.
A song that plays on through the brightest days and the darkest nights.

And lastly:

I'd like to buy a vow.
A vow for us, and us alone
A vow that will not be broken.
A vow that thinks a year is forever.
A vow that intrigues an all night kiss.
A vow that insists that a song never ends.
And knows that we won't either.
