Unrequited

One day I'll kiss you,
walk right up and plant one on you.
I'm not sure what you would do,
Whether you'd slap me or be happy.

I've been so patient, it hasn't been easy.
I'm love sick and it's making me queasy.

I scream in my head, "NOTICE ME, NOTICE ME!"
Night after night I think I can't get much sadder,
I know so much about you but it doesn't much matter.
I fear you've already decided,
my love for you is unrequited.

Lonesome Tired

I know that sinking sadness of guilt and madness,
She said she doesn't like me,
I can't decide if I'm miserable or free.
Everything inside me says "hold on",
But I tell myself the battle can never be won.

To make me feel better, kind words were all she said,
like patting a toddler gently on the head.
"You're a great guy", "It's not you, it's me."
I've heard those words, unfortunately.

I truly feel, my Juliet, rejected.
Like there's no place for hope.
I tried and waters have been tested,
but still, I leave a lonely dope.

My heart on a platter...
Somehow that makes them run faster.

Simple Plans

I smile at you, you smile at me.
You're my angel on earth, God planned it since birth.

You're kind and gentle; not overly sentimental.

I whisper so you draw near, and even delight in the quaintness of your ear.

Every wish that's thrown in a fountain, I make for us to live on a mountain...

Or a pond or a lake, anywhere with you, I would take.

You see, I can not place it, not the time or the day,

but I've fallen for you in every single way.

At 24

At 24 

with a heart of foam,

And legs to roam,

I find myself steady in the stand I ground.

When I was younger,

My eyes saw wonder,

My feet left the start before I even heard the gun sound.

Now I never forget, no, my memories don't escape me.

I hold on to my drive, my diligence, my determination, see.

Coke

You're my sweet Coca-Cola.
I think about you all the time.
If only I had a dime.
I'd come up with something to rhyme.

You're what I crave.
Night after night, I slave.
Working on myself.
Not worrying about my wealth.

I fall apart,
putting back the pieces to my heart.

Replacing all my doubt
with "it's what life's about".

Sticky, licky, sugar.

Letting Go

I save your name in my mind for all my life.
It may be in vain to wait for you to be my wife.

I tell myself I'm obsessed,
just to close my eyes and rest,
and that it's for the best.
But deep down I never gave up.

I tell myself I am only hurting me.
By holding on, I'm not setting myself free.
In the end I'll be left battered,
my heart, like glass, gets shattered.

I'm not afraid to let go like a child.
I know I'm strong and wild.
I care a lot, at times, to a fault.

Since I was born, I knew how to love.
This zeal is nothing to fear, it was sent from above.

Familiar Feelings

I'm feeling down,
but not on the ground.
Love makes me float,
then becomes the weight I tote.

I find a friend I like,
we do fun things,
kayak, fly kites, and bike.

She makes me happy
and not so lazy.

I wish I could do the same,
but everything I say gets stained.
She's a girl I'd share my name,
but everything I say gets swayed.

She makes me feel immature,
which makes me feel insecure,
which makes me feel small and out of control.
