lua

let me be your girl
your world
and all the inbetween
ill be the the moon, the sun
the stars and the seas
ill be the rain, the snow
the hail, and the heat
i could tell you all i know
and all youll ever feel
ill be your crash course
the cause of your all-nighters
ill be your wake up call
and the whisper in your dreams
ill be everything i could ever be
ill be yours
i could be yours.

Alice

long distance

but now that I've found you
and you're millions of miles away
it hurts worse

come home

Instead of saying nothing

Keep your diary
Full with the stupid **** I've said
and tell me you're too good for it

The History: Honesty is the best policy.

& grew so small

Your name on Yellow

Labeled biohazardous

I drank like Alice

The History: Go ask Alice if she regrets her choices in wonderland, and she'll probably say no.

Wild Bouquet

I want to buy you every Forget-Me-Not
so that my name's the only one you remember.

I want to drive down highways, backroads, and forgotten paths, picking those wildflowers that you love.

Lilies and hydrangeas, and all the other fleeting pretty things,
I want to give them all to you.

After collecting every flower, and setting your world into
a wild bouquet, I want to just be there, with you.

Wrote this for an old flame once upon a time, since she lived too far away for me to just give her flowers.

No Option

I always set my eyes only to you
My vision is clear and it sees you
You are very near that I can't see others
A lot of options and temptations
But you alone is enough for me to keep on
