you may not know this, but I have liked many people.
'liked' being the key word there.
I may have had a couple 'things' that I don't even like considering a relationship
I thought the feelings I had for them were strong.
and yes, I've had feelings for both boys and girls.
but I don't even remember how that felt anymore.
because then one day, I fell in love.
I've loved this girl ever since I met her
and we've been through alot
even when I may have said
'i hate you'
I could never hate her,
I was always terrified to lose her.
it's funny how it seems, we're always going to be okay.
I wonder if she knew how much I really cared
but sometimes just said everything wrong
I wonder if she knows how much she means to me

nothing has ever felt more real

I've been at a loss for words many times before...
but not like this,
I don't know what to do.
my heart tells me one thing
my head tells me another
peoples opinions don't matter
I don't know what I'm thinking
like i don't know exactly why I'm always sad

it's easier to fall

I've left you all questioning before
you question my truth, and what I stand for
you question my heart
my will
my strength
how I once thought I had an everything
a story built up on mixed emotions
a mixed dream
a mixed life
nothing really showed itself till I was at my worst
should I do this again?
I'm not strong enough to go through this again
I'll be forever alone if that's what it takes
cause no one will ever love me for my flaws.
no one will ever love me for who I am.
it's easier to fall
but it takes someone strong
to walk away

do you remember when...

do you remember the days of old
when your heart never felt so cold
the dreams made sense
tension was never so tense
with reasons behind your tears
still hiding from all your fears
everyday was a good day
when everyone still seemed to stay
nothing to change your mind
because everybody seemed so kind
no struggles to detest
no poison to ingest
life was at its prime
once upon a time
