  <description>on the ride home you sat in my lap and held my hand and we sang every song that came on. and we never left eachothers eyes. i kissed you and i never felt lips like those i never fucking help a hand that fit like that and your eyes just fucking hit my soul. and i knew in that one moment, all time stoped as those songs feel from my lips that this was it, you were the one. it was all over. my search was done. this was my life looking back at me and smiling. and god damn it i would give my whole life to go back and ride that same ride one last time. you dont know the emotions that were rushing through me and that was the first time i ever said i love and you ment ever fucking letter of it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;what do you say to that.</description>

  <description>All I know is that you&apos;re so nice, &lt;br /&gt;You&apos;re the nicest thing I&apos;ve seen. &lt;br /&gt;I wish that we could give it a go, &lt;br /&gt;See if we could be something. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish I was your favorite girl, &lt;br /&gt;I wish you thought I was the reason you are in the world. &lt;br /&gt;I wish I was your favorite smile, &lt;br /&gt;I wish the way that I dressed was your favorite kind of style. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish you couldn&apos;t figure me out, &lt;br /&gt;But you always wanna know what I was about. &lt;br /&gt;I wish you&apos;d hold my hand when I was upset, &lt;br /&gt;I wish you&apos;d never forget the look on my face when we first met. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish you had a favorite beauty spot that you loved secretly, &lt;br /&gt;&apos;Cos it was on a hidden bit that nobody else could see. &lt;br /&gt;Basically, I wish that you loved me, &lt;br /&gt;I wish that you needed me, &lt;br /&gt;I wish that you knew when I said two sugars, actually I meant three. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish that without me your heart would break, &lt;br /&gt;I wish that without me you&apos;d be spending the rest of your nights awake. &lt;br /&gt;I wish that without me you couldn&apos;t eat, &lt;br /&gt;I wish I was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All i know is that you&apos;re the nicest thing I&apos;ve ever seen; &lt;br /&gt;I wish that we could see if we could be something</description>

  <description>Don&apos;t you dare sleep with someone you don&apos;t know.&lt;br /&gt;They&apos;ll feel it in the back of their throat. &lt;br /&gt;We know I can&apos;t construct a poem, &lt;br /&gt;Cause words like girls get bored and run &lt;br /&gt;C&apos;est la vie, I say &quot;I&apos;ve got so many better things&quot; &lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve got nothing, you should see me, &lt;br /&gt;I smoke myself to sleep. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And blame postmodern things I can&apos;t relate, &lt;br /&gt;Like summer camp and coastal states. &lt;br /&gt;Like alcohol and coffee beans. &lt;br /&gt;Dance floors and magazines. &lt;br /&gt;I think its safe to say I&apos;ve only got myself to blame&lt;br /&gt;But boys in swooping haircuts are bringing me down, &lt;br /&gt;Taking pictures of themselves. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so I walk the web in search of love, &lt;br /&gt;But always seem to end up stuck. &lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m finding flaws in everyone. &lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve reached the point where all I want, &lt;br /&gt;Is to sleep around in hopes that I will catch back up. &lt;br /&gt;We are parallel lines we’re running in circles, &lt;br /&gt;We&apos;re never meant to cross. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m at a loss, you were my tangerine, &lt;br /&gt;My pussycat, my trampoline. &lt;br /&gt;Now all I get are wincing cheeks, &lt;br /&gt;And dog problems, I signed a lease. &lt;br /&gt;Thinking my heart belonged at 93rd and park. &lt;br /&gt;Instead I broke a girl’s heart, &lt;br /&gt;And flew back to Phoenix to finish the year as it started. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you hear me? &lt;br /&gt;Are you listening? &lt;br /&gt;This is the sound of my heart breaking. &lt;br /&gt;And I hope its entertaining, &lt;br /&gt;Cause for me it’s a bitch. &lt;br /&gt;Was it worth it? &lt;br /&gt;When you slept with him? &lt;br /&gt;Did you get it all out of your system? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a man&lt;br /&gt;Holding it all &lt;br /&gt;I couldn’t breath &lt;br /&gt;Comming across&lt;br /&gt;I didn’t know &lt;br /&gt;I couldn’t give up &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;B is for believing you; always be here for me. &lt;br /&gt;E is for everything, even when we see it though. &lt;br /&gt;C, c is for seeing through you, you are a fake, which brings me to &lt;br /&gt;A because, because, you always run away. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never finish phrases, I misspell. &lt;br /&gt;Open arms are prison cells. &lt;br /&gt;When I said, &quot;I hate what I&apos;ve become&quot; &lt;br /&gt;I lied, I hated who I was. &lt;br /&gt;So when you start to wonder &apos;bout the pain in my throat, &lt;br /&gt;Then don&apos;t you ever, no never, ever, sleep with someone you don&apos;t know.</description>

  <description>My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away&lt;br /&gt;But every now and then you come to mind&lt;br /&gt;Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game&lt;br /&gt;But when your name was called, you found a place to hide&lt;br /&gt;When you knew that I was always on your side&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent&lt;br /&gt;But your demons and your angels reappeared&lt;br /&gt;Leavin&apos; all the traces of the man you thought you&apos;d be&lt;br /&gt;Leavin&apos; me with no place left to go from here&lt;br /&gt;Leavin&apos; me so many questions all these years&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear&lt;br /&gt;Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear&lt;br /&gt;Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally&lt;br /&gt;This isn&apos;t how it&apos;s really meant to be&lt;br /&gt;No it isn&apos;t how it&apos;s really meant to be&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well they say that love is in the air, but never is it clear, &lt;br /&gt;How to pull it close and make it stay&lt;br /&gt;Butterflies are free to fly, and so they fly away&lt;br /&gt;And I&apos;m left to carry on and wonder why&lt;br /&gt;Even through it all, I&apos;m always on your side&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear&lt;br /&gt;Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear&lt;br /&gt;Or are we left to wonder, all alone, eternally&lt;br /&gt;But is this how it&apos;s really meant to be&lt;br /&gt;No is it how it&apos;s really meant to be&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well if they say that love is in the air, never is it clear&lt;br /&gt;How to pull it close and make it stay&lt;br /&gt;If butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly away&lt;br /&gt;Leavin&apos; me to carry on and wonder why&lt;br /&gt;Was it you that kept me wondering through this life&lt;br /&gt;When you know that I was always on your side</description>

  <description>They say that your first true love will hurt you so bad that it&apos;s unbelievable. That they take a part of you away. You&apos;ve taken a part of me that leaves me unbalanced, off, even empty. I want nothing but to be with you always. You&apos;ve changed me in a way not possible.</description>

  <description>You want it to happen. &lt;br /&gt;exactly what u wished for&lt;br /&gt;Then u realize, it was only a plane high in the sky&lt;br /&gt;Passing by as your dreams slowly faded away. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You started becoming Vague&lt;br /&gt;I couldnt grasp why it was I was crying over you&lt;br /&gt;The indications were more than just your words&lt;br /&gt;The bluntness of reality began to set in &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Walking through the city&lt;br /&gt;unfamiliar people rushing by &lt;br /&gt;You contradict my feelings and thoughts&lt;br /&gt;your as fake as their polyester suites &lt;br /&gt;and their briefcases filled with lies &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whats the difference between a lie and a truth&lt;br /&gt;It somehow seems to take on the grayest shade&lt;br /&gt;False stiletto felt real in my heart&lt;br /&gt;But I somehow take pleasure from pain?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Walking away hurts more, then staying and living a lie&lt;br /&gt;Because I&apos;d rather&lt;br /&gt;hold onto something fake that makes me smile&lt;br /&gt;Then drown myself in the tears of truth, &lt;br /&gt;As I watch you slip away, further now&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But a lie cant last forever,&lt;br /&gt;And my dear, that planes about to land&lt;br /&gt;So pack your things, and ill say goodbye&lt;br /&gt;To the best thing I never had&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So long, to the grayest shade of love you gave me &lt;br /&gt;I somehow still felt like a pallet of colors,&lt;br /&gt;Being painted into something abstract&lt;br /&gt;That no one really could understand or grasp&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the lies, the truths, and the truths the lies, &lt;br /&gt;entwined, to form that polyester love,&lt;br /&gt;that I wished so much to be real&lt;br /&gt;which was nothing more, then a plane passing by &lt;br /&gt;And then I watched as my dreams faded away</description>

  <description>&lt;center&gt;Back to square one. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I must admit, our conversation last night made me cry -- not simply crying, but breaking down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought the second time around things would be different.&lt;/center&gt;</description>

  <description>So I sit here and ponder, “What a wonder it would be to have a crystal ball and to catch a glimpse of the future.” Would I live my life any differently knowing what is to come? Would I be disappointed in how I turned out, or would I work towards something better? Would I alter my course in life in spite of the future I saw and think I could affect the outcome? Wouldn’t my actions still simply result in the foreseen? These thoughts are so foreign to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only times I have ever really thought about the path before me have been in dread or worry… or sometimes with a surrealistic sense of wonder, but never with enthusiasm. I live one foot ahead of the other. Never really wondering too much how different my present would have been had I made different choices along the road, and never really thinking too in-depth about where I am headed, so long as the journey is worthwhile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But now I wonder how different my future could be, depending on choices I make now. Every possibility seems available now. I look forward and I am intrigued. I wonder how I will be in a year, and hope that you’ll be there with me. I look forward even further and still hope the same and more. I can steer my course for a change, instead of relying on the Universe to move me along. For a very long time, I have relied on that simple philosophy: the Universe has some Order to it, and all will turn out as it should be. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have something I want very badly, and am willing to alter my path to keep it with me. So I ask myself, if I could see the future and found you were not there, would I change my whole philosophy in life and fight for a new future? My answer is readily a YES. What is this change in myself that would move me to such an extreme? I could not quit you even if I wanted, and I could never in a lifetime imagine I would want that. I love you so completely and deeply, that you have become part of me. Some days that scares me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It scares me because now I fear. Above all, I fear loss. Again, I cannot see that future to even know that you or I will be breathing tomorrow, and that uncertainty chills me to my core. Would I still look into that crystal ball now? This unnamable fear chokes me and keeps me standing in place. This fear makes me want to hold onto you so very hard and never let you go out of my sight. The thought of a future without you blackens even the most beautiful of days. When we are together, these fears seem so silly and far from my mind, but as soon as we are apart, I am afraid. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m putting these fears down on ‘paper’ to claim them before they claim me. I want to tread my path again, unafraid, and embrace what the Universe puts ahead of me. Whether that means we walk this path together for eternity, or for a brief moment in time, I want to enjoy you, us and what we have made here between us. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the question remains: would I look into that crystal ball, not knowing if what I saw was certain to be, and not knowing if I could affect what I saw, for good or ill? No, I wouldn’t look, because I have my hope. The hope that you would be happy, healthy and mine for a very long time. And these are hopes I would like to make the future at all costs. So maybe I have changed my philosophy after all… but what is it to be alive if we cannot grow?</description>

  <description>&lt;center&gt;&lt;i&gt;Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists... When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/center&gt;</description>

  <description>You were good to me. So much so that I trusted you with everything: my worries, my fears, my joy--in the end I gave you my heart. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You told me so many things, about yourself, about how you felt about me. You told me I was the best thing that ever happened to you, that your heart was mine. You told me you loved me, and will love me always. You said you wanted to marry me and spend the rest of your life with me --- you said I complete you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We were each other&apos;s destiny, fated to be together by a stroke of luck that led us to each other, when the chances of our meeting was practically zero. We were soul mates, you said. We complete each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You left me without a word one day. You disappeared, and I fell. You were the pain. You ripped out a part of me and left me with this gaping hole in the center of everything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was completely lost in the haze of pain, and you weren&apos;t there with me even when I looked for you hard enough for my eyeballs to drop out of their sockets. You left me alone to deal with what was left, to pick my way barefoot out of a house with floors filled by broken glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you had loved me you wouldn&apos;t have lied. If you had loved me you would never have disappeared, you would never have walked away and left me to deal with my pain alone. You wouldn&apos;t have been the one to make me crawl through hell and shed tears that scalded my heart, you wouldn&apos;t have been the one to make me wish for death and yet revel in the pain I was feeling, because it was the only thing telling me I was still alive. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I guess love does come with a price. I am more in-love now, than I have ever been.</description>

  <description>It&apos;s nights like last night, that I wish the world would just stop and let me live in that moment forever.  Or atleast slow down.</description>

  <description>Spider web. I&apos;m in your spider web. Scratching at my face and hands trying to get the silky strands away from my body before they envelope my being. I am fascinated by the way you do not realize how utterly amazing you are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love. That&apos;s what describes my feeling for you. Peace. Complete comfort the times I was in your arms. Not infatuation. Infatuation is obsession. Many are infatuated. Not in specifics over you, but over someone. I can&apos;t believe I let you go. They say If you love something, let it go. If it comes back, it&apos;s yours. If it doesn&apos;t, it never was. I let you go but you didn&apos;t come back. I guess it&apos;s because you weren&apos;t let go. You were pushed away. I can&apos;t believe the lies they told me affected the feeling I had and don&apos;t seep through my soul making me a bitter poor excuse for a human being.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That&apos;s what I am though. I am a poor excuse for a human being. As for bitter, I can&apos;t go that far. Bitterness takes victory and after that repeated defeat. I have been defeated once. I have been victorious once. You decide whether or not I become bitter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exhaustion. I reach and reach but I keep stretching myself out and when I come back in together I am tired and raw. Raw from a feeling of expectation. Someone was walking toward me smiling at me reaching out their arms and as I began to reach out mine they walk around me to the unexpected popular beautiful person behind me and smirk at my assumption.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beggars. People all around you begging for attention along with me. I run and jump, screaming at the top of my lungs as loud as possibility grants and you don&apos;t hear me. The murmur of the crowd is too loud. Talking too silent. Quietly and silently. I am screaming but it won&apos;t come out more so than a whisper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You. I pushed you away. I thought they were my friends. People who wouldn&apos;t lie to me. My voice was louder than anyone else&apos;s and you could hear it. YOU could hear it. Then my friends whispered lies in my ear and I believed them and they stole my voice to divide among the crowd so everyone would be louder. I stand here. Silent. Quiet. Waiting for the silver strand of hope to snap into and me to sit down on the cold cement crying while the rain falls on others like myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voiceless. Completely so. I slowly gain back a hoarse whispery moan. I slowly get back words and I can talk. But my words used to be beautiful. Articulate and accented. Now my hoarse whispery words make people cringe as they shout to me to be quiet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I do. But over the crowd you seem to glance in my direction more and more. And though I can whisper the gorgeous words once more and sound like I used to, you can&apos;t see me. You search the crowd because you were mine. I pushed you away and let you go and you are trying to come back but can&apos;t climb over the crowd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I can get to you I hope you will forgive me. I will forgive you. I&apos;ll reach you. Someday I&apos;ll reach you. Hold out your hand and wait.</description>
