On Our Next Play Date
I like playing house
I’d be the mom, you’d be the dad
We would have a pretend house
We would take care of our pretend children
Sometimes we switch up the scenes
You’ll be my heroic prince
I’ll be your damsel in distress
And we would live happily ever after
We never competed though
It was all just pretend
Your other friends would play rough
But with me, you were gentle
You’re sweet enough to carry my dolls
And you once gave me your jacket
You’d punch your friends on the shoulders
But you once grabbed mine to hide from a...

Shower Thoughts
I can easily take your breath away, but I won't
I can easily fall in love all on my own
I can easily be your knight, though I can't fight
You can easily be everything that is not right
I can buy you all the shoes before you fit it
I can break your heart before you give it
I can always be one step ahead
But you're not the one lying next to me in bed
You're everything and everyone
You're exactly what I want
But when I fall where will you be
You're what I want but not what I need
I can easily fall in love all on my own
I can easily be your knight, though I can't fight
You can easily be everything that is not right
I can buy you all the shoes before you fit it
I can break your heart before you give it
I can always be one step ahead
But you're not the one lying next to me in bed
You're everything and everyone
You're exactly what I want
But when I fall where will you be
You're what I want but not what I need

When I Loved my Best Friend
Do you know how hard it is to look up from your shoes and see your best friend in her happiest state but not because of you?
Because that’s right, her happiness only came when you stopped being friends with her. Because you are not the thing that motivates her to wake up in the morning.
You don’t even deserve to call her your best friend. Because even though you did everything together, even though you shared secrets with one another, that… doesn’t qualify you to be her best friend.
She is special. She is one of a kind. You’ll never meet someone like her again. You don’t deserve...

Wheat Fields (Inspiration from Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe)
You said, under the leaves, we will wake up in Atlantis, Together, knowing what lies, In dreams of dreams after sleep. Your smile is what bears, The undying leaves, ...

You
Love is brewing coffee in the morning at 7:00 am
Love is brushing our teeth together at 8:00 am
Love is watching Grey’s Anatomy marathons with you at 9:06 am
Love is making fun of each other’s outfit of the day at 10:27 am
Love is texting each other memes behind our boss’s back at 11:00 am
Love is driving through McDonald’s at 12:40 am
Love is singing along to Backstreet Boys on the freeway at 1:03 pm
Love is walking our dog and arguing who cleans the mess up at 2:56 pm
Love is tripping and racing each other on the stairs at 3:14 pm
Love is failing...

Stop Lights
Underneath your car hood is a human
Underneath your fingerprints is a human
But the weather is still the same
It drizzles, it rains, it lights up
When you’re choosing between medicine or rope
When you either stay here or drive away
Your house will still be there
Two roads up, a left turn, straight away
They can call you names but it doesn’t matter
Its not what you’re looking for
And when they start to ask questions
Everything should still be the same
Have you decided between medicine or rope?
They’re not going to stop, you...
Underneath your fingerprints is a human
