thank YOU.

I just want to run free 

And far from the novacane laced words spoken like a rhythmic gymnastics routine meant for Nationals

I want to be the one to change green into red and green into blue for you 

I want you to be the moon in my sky of tossled dreams

You make me want to love with my whole heart, my whole self as a human being

You make me want to better myself, my world and my existence.

You have cleared the dust off the empty shed and turned it into a home 

The light is much brighter with you around

You refresh and awaken my soul. 

Thank you.

Perspective

Walking down the terrace of rose petals, fireflies and frozen butterfly wings 

I was blinded by the light of my own creation

Living a fabricated fairy tale it was time to retreat 

And be true to myself, so I fell back down

Here I lay, surrounded by my own shadows

Nothing seems to reflect the truth better than pitch black darkness 

I was lost in my own world, believing what I wanted to see was real

When you gave me coal, I turned them into doughnuts 

I was good at lifting myself up, because you never could

It's hard to say you're wrong when you're living in it

But it's so easy to see when you have something this good

It puts the past to shame, like it didn't even happen

I don't have to pretend, I don't have to defend 

Nothing compares to what I have now

When were together it's like two best friends hanging out

The curtains are pulled, we are ourselves there is no pretending

You are just you and I am just me, we fit together so perfectly 

I couldn't imagine a love like this

It goes beyond the surface way below the deepest depths 

We love each other immensely, intensely 

We don't take each other for granted

We listen to each other, and let each other be 

And that, fits perfectly in my idea book of you and me

Not the end

Sitting alone in the backseat of my own car

I'm holding you close

 I'm breathing you in

I won't let this go I won't ever breakdown

This isn't the end of our road 

Maybe the stories were miss told

Maybe we are meant to grow old 

And watch as the clouds fade away 

I keep holding your hand in mine

And you're saying things so kind

But I can't hear a word you say

Without you taking my breath away 

This isn't the end of our road 

Maybe the stories were miss told

Maybe we are meant to grow old 

And watch as the clouds fade away

As I sit here alone in the dark in the cold

And the sound of me missing you 

Makes me shiver and shake 

You're the only one I want not only tonight but everyday after that

This isn't the end of our road 

Maybe the stories were miss told

Maybe we are meant to grow old 

And watch as the clouds fade away

Out of Touch

I shouldn't have to tell you
To hold my hand
To ask you if I look alright
I shouldn't be walking alone again tonight

As the sun creeps through the ocean
You remind me of the night when
We drove past midnight, into the light of the moon
We never wanted morning to break

Under the shadows of your 5'oclock 'stache
I know you better than that
You can't stand still you can't sit alone
The ground beneath me is crumbling

I shouldn't have to tell you
I need you here with me
I shouldn't have to be the one
Picking up all the pieces

Time was between us
Time made us who we are
Time was our friend
Time became our enemy

Twinkling stars never let go of the night sky
Even when they outshine the moon
They still hold on, as I hold on
As you let go of my hand

The words we say, the things we do
You can't walk into the dark without me
I can't do this alone, alone
Without you, without you

Night air

Leaves fall from the trees
The wind caresses their fall
I walk under the tree and watch them collect
One by one they fall, into a messy perfect pile


The wind howls sweet music in my ears
It's a cold, hollow wind- the kind that makes you want a hot chocolate
No one knows where you go when you're silent
Stuck in silence, stuck in space


There's a beauty in melancholy when you're walking alone on a crowded street
You can be anyone you want to be, no one will know the difference
The cold air pierces my face with each step reminding me I'm alive
Alive in spirit, alive in my body


The night relinquishes my thoughts and I'm back in my head
I walk down the street and lay under the trees
Catching the leaves and crumbling them in millions of pieces
I'm here, I'm okay, I'm alive

Only you in the world

Why do we look into the eyes of strangers for approval?
Why do we trust their opinion over our own?
What we don't know is that this view is thrown
We're more than just a like we're more than a reblog
The only person who guides your battleship is you

If there's only one you in the world then why do we try so hard to fit in?
Why do we give someone else more value and importance?
Why do we often times put ourselves down for not being good enough?
Stop comparing yourself to others.
Others aren't you. You're the only you that will ever be in this lifetime.
Start living. Stop over thinking. Start living.
