i'll be brave tonight.
either live or die.
i'll be brave tonight,
standing tall and bright.
such romantic eyes,
got me hypnotized.
and if i had my chance
i'd never let you go.
That night we talked;
we talked about life,
about our times together.
Maybe we aren't the same two kids
we once were, but some things never change.
Some things last, & even though I didn't
know what was going to happen
to us or where we were going,
I just knew I couldn't let you out of my life.
Truth be told, you're not what I'd normally go for.
When I point you out to my friends,
they give me this, "Are you serious?" kind of look.
But the thing is, I don't care.
I'm ready for a change, and you're it.
and now i see that the only thing you want from me is another reason to let go.
i gave you everything, and you took nothing less,
but i can't waste another second trying to make this last.
but then you assure me
i'm a little more than useless.
when i think that i can't do this,
you promise me that i'll get through this,
and do something right for once.
hold my hand.
brush the hair off my face.
whisper in my ear.
hug me when i'm cold.
off me your jacket.
i don't care how you do it,
just show me that you care.
love comes when manipulation stops.
when you think more about the other person
than about his or her reactions to you.
when you dare to reveal yourself truthfully.
when you dare to be vulnerable.
don't you ever wonder when it says he's
typing a message, and then doesn't send it,
don't you ever wonder what he was about
to say, how it could've just maybe
changed your life forever ?
i still remember the first day we met,
and the first time i looked into those
sleepy brown eyes, i just wanted you to know,
i'll never forget the butterflies.
god, that was strange to see you again.
introduced by a friend of a friend.
smiled and said, "yes i think we've met before."
in that instant it started to pour.
it was cold.
my hands were shaking, and you stepped
in front of me just to wrap your arms around
me as you said, "let's pretend winter isn't here."
i buried my head in your shoulder,
and i whispered,
"let's pretend the snow isn't the only thing falling fast."
All of us have had this experience.
At some point, we have each said through our tears,
"I'm suffering for a love that's not worth it."
We suffer because we feel we are giving more than we receive.
We suffer because our love is going unrecognized.
We suffer because we are unable to impose our own rules.
And I'm the kinda girl
That will crack a joke
To brighten your day
Even when I can't
Seem to brighten my own
then i'll see your face
i know i'm finally yours
i find everything i thought i lost before
you call my name
i come to you in pieces
so you can make me whole
You are as beautiful as ever, yet I'm starting to resent your smile, because it's killing me to say this, but I'm dying inside to leave. It's a place we've never been, it's a waste to keep it in. It means little to you, but the world to me
I bet you didn't know that I am
terrified of the dark,
and every time I think of you, I smile.
I bet you don't know that I love thunderstorms
& I'll say I love dancing in the rain,
even when I've never done it.
or how much I laugh with my friends
& how much I truly enjoy being happy.
I bet you don't know how many tears
I've cried just for you,
or how much I doubt myself every day.
I bet you don't know how ticklish I am
or how I can't make decisions.
& how it drives me crazy
when you look into my eyes.
I bet you didn't know how I can't
keep a straight face for more than 10 seconds
or keep a straight answer.
I bet you didn't know that I would
do anything to be with you.
But mostly I bet you didn't know
how much I love you.
I wish it didn't hurt,
hurt like this to say these things to you.
I'll sacrifice one moment for one truth
if we get to see tomorrow
then we'll be fine.
We'll wait forever & see how close we get
it's just another day, one more chance to get this right.
I'll sacrifice forever, please just for tonight.
Your first love.
You know who I am talking about because
I bet you read the words "first love"
&that one boy came into your mind.
There is nothing like that first boy you were so afraid to lose,
the one boy that you knew it was love despite what others said.
The one boy that changed your expectations
and the one that you compare
all the future boys in your life too because
deep down inside you know that he
was the one that set the standard for love.
I am perfectly happy with being his friend.
In fact, I love it.
I just always have this incredible urge to kiss him
that doesn't go away
and this feeling that we would be perfect together.
I'll tell it to you straight up; Im sick and tired of it. I've tried countless times to prove to you that i'd give you the world; anything i possibly can. Each time I've failed, but you know what? The next day, I went at it even harder. But the day finally came when I couldn't go any harder; the day I broke down to my knees because i love you so much.
stranger than your sympathy
and this is my apology
I've killed myself from the inside out
and all my fears have pushed you out
To the love, I left my conscience pressed.
Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer.
What did it ever do for me? I say.
It never calls me when I'm down.
Love never wanted me.
But I took it anyway.
now that everything has crumbled down.
i feel like and idiot, missing you more;
each day, trying to get by, but im just alone.
i miss you giving me advice every day ,
and telling me the things, that i wanted to hear,
its harder than you think, and you'll never understand
