You’ll remember me
It might take a while for those three words to sink in, but I know that by the end of this you’re going to be remembering why you forgot me in the first place
I’m not blaming you for going away; I’d like to do the same
Sometimes I feel trapped in my own skin
Sometimes I just want to get in a car and drive, never stopping until I figure out where I’m meant to be
Speaking of where I’m meant to be, I thought I figured it out
And I guess I was mistaken when I thought it was with you
It’s just that when you held me that night, I could’ve sworn it felt like one of those cheesy l
you see there is not much of me left to give
but i’ll give you what’s there because i know that i don’t deserve it, not because i think you do
i’ve wasted so much of myself already
that I don’t think it really matters who gets the rest

I Can't Give You Anything More than Everything
Over and over I have tossed aside the things I love for you
And I've let go of dreams that I was just beginning to believe in and hopes that I thought I would always long for
Because I thought that maybe someday you would do the same for me
I stupidly thought that you might eventually learn to love what I love and see what I see
If only for just a moment
I'm old enough to understand
I know that sometimes I make mistakes
Mistakes that cause you to look at me with that I-told-you-so expression in your eyes telling me that I won't ever amount to anything
But at least I admit I don't have everything figured out
At least I have the guts

This Isn't Goodbye, But This Isn't Hello Either
I'm no good at hellos, I feel that introductions are often a lie
You never hear people say: Hello my name is so and so, and I'm afraid of being alone
Because people don't like to admit that they fear anything
Being fearful of something makes us seem vulnerable
(Or does it?)
I think I somehow knew it was going to end up like this
There was always you and there was always me
But there was never us
I replay the first time we met, those awkward first glances and exchange of words
The beginning of many conversations to come
We didn't know it then, but we would soon be listening to one another's voices like they were the only sounds that
To the boy with the ocean in his eyes,
I don't know if you remember, but you saved me once
I was drowning, and so very tired, I couldn't keep my eyes open
but I didn't care if I fell asleep
I didn't care if I never woke up
I was sinking. I was falling, deeper and deeper
My heart was so heavy, and I didn't want to go on breathing
I didn't want to even try
I had given up, counted myself as lost
But you reached for me,
you pulled me out of the darkness
Do you remember now?
When you held me, and you whispered that I was going to be ok
You promised. You promised that everything would be ok and that you would never let me go
But
I. L o v e
A longing so deep that just the slightest touch of his fingertips could make her feel connected to something greater than herself.
She remembers the last time he was with her.
His arms wrapped around her, folding her into his chest. She loved feeling of being so close to his heartbeat, but she knew that when he finally let go, he would have to leave. He would kiss her goodbye and hours later he would be sitting on the plane, maybe feeling the same tugging in his heart that she did.
I love you, I love you. Please come back to me.

I Plan On Living Forever
She climbs up on the ledge of the bridge and stands there looking out over the water.
"Be careful." I warn.
Neither of us says anything for a long time. Her eyes catch the light of the sun, trapping the glow in their depths of green. I watch as strands of her hair come loose from her ponytail, the wind gently carries the pieces of hair in its currents.
"The sky is my favorite piece of art, ever. Just look at those colors." She smiles and spreads her arms as if trying to embrace the sky itself. She is so beautiful; I can't make my eyes look away.
"You know, I'm tired of people telling me to be careful." She says still staring off into th

The Calm and the Storm
His eyes were clouded over skies casting shadows on her heart. And she was light, half sunrise and part sunset. He loved her like a storm. Like a dark cloud looming above her, threatening to break open and pour out everything inside him. His heart was made of thunder, beating louder and louder with each flicker of lighting reflecting in his eyes.
She wanted him, but not because he was like darkness, but because he was strong and moved through her like a sudden storm passing over the most beautiful blue sky. Sometimes he was like the wind, unpredictable and fierce, but still soft enough to catch the free strands

I think I think too much.
I think I think too much. Every thought is a never-ending thread and every thread is tangled and tied with knots.
I think the threads of your thoughts are just as tangled and knotted as mine. But you're so good at keeping them that way. Mine are frayed and unraveling at the ends.
It's not you it's me. I just can't wrap my mind around how wonderful you are and how so undeserving I really am.
I'm waiting for the day I wake up, because this is such a beautiful dream.
But you're still here, and I'm still here. Even though sometimes it feels like I'm so close to being the furthest thing from you.
You are the only one who sees me. And I se

Please Don't Write Me Off Just Yet
I want to be for you what words are for me
To drown you in every adjective, every noun
In mesmerizing waves of metaphors and similes
I'll whisper in your ear
Quoting verse after verse of silly love poems
But if they won't make you feel anything, if they don't ever reach
Through the cage of your ribs and into your guarded heart
Nothing these lips utter will ever be enough
I might as well quote tragedies
Because they're all you've ever known
You're familiar with the plot twists and unhappy endings
The series of dramatic, irreversible incidents that shape your past
If only you knew that not every story ends with heartbreak
My dear,
