Flying

Hours and hours of conversation
Questions answered without hesitation
Smiling so hard our cheeks are in pain
My new favorite song’s the sound of your name

Learning about you, new things each day
Refreshing and honest – you don’t shy away
Challenging me with all the right words
With just one smile you calm all my nerves

I am completely vulnerable
A naked feeling, while I’m fully clothed
These feelings we have are terrifying
Afraid of heights, but here we are flying

The men in my past have always lied –
To get in my pants, to get in my life
Said things they thought I wanted to hear
Took pieces of me and then disappeared

You call me gorgeous and say I’m sexy
For the first time, there’s no questioning –
What you say is what I believe
You’ve become someone important to me

I melt inside when I see your face
The sound of your voice, a familiar place
I’m giving in, my hearts on my sleeve;
An unexpected surprise – a find I hope you keep

Hearsay

They say time heals everything – I’m still waiting.

They say good things come to those who wait – yet here I am feeling the same.

They say what’s meant to be will find a way – no one is searching for the path to me.

They say travel the road less taken – I’m stuck here again on this dead end.

They say go after the things you want in life –
But what are you supposed to do,
when the things you want don’t want you?

Days End

When she laid
She let the weight of the day
Press to the mattress

Closed her eyes
Sent thanks to the big guy
And let her feet rest

Chasing dreams
Nothing ever as it seems
Getting lost in the night

At day’s end
Forgive, forget or pretend
Everything’s alright

Friend Zone

I would erase you, delete every moment from my mind.
It wouldn’t effect any other portion of the time that’s gone by.
Then you wouldn’t exist and neither would the pain –
That’s what you do to a girl when you tell her you don’t feel a thing.

She Went On

She held on tightly
As you slowly let her go
She told you her feelings
You wouldn’t let her know
She kept trying
Holding so tight you slipped away
She went on crying
Only hoping you would stay

She felt empty
As you went on having fun
Her world was ending
As you felt yours had just begun
She kept thinking
Was she just another mistake?
She went on crying
Knowing her wake up call was too late

She held hope
Thinking you’d realize your loss
Her heart was breaking
Not knowing all was lost
She prayed you’d change
Beg for forgiveness from her
She went on crying
Not knowing if you’d be back for sure

She couldn’t move on
Knowing that then you would, too
She couldn’t let go
Of the thought of the both of you
She didn’t try
To be with anyone else
She went on crying
Thinking if she lost you, she lost herself

She finally broke down
Letting everyone around her see
How she couldn’t let go
It wasn’t love it was robbery
She still hopes
That someday you’ll come back
She went on crying
She just couldn’t face the facts

She sounds so weak
This girl attached to you
No wonder you let her go
Other men have, too
I feel sorry for her
This girl you used to see
She screwed everything up
Oh that’s right, that girl was me
