Igniting inside
A candle burns forever
Warmth felt everyday

Shy girl
I'll tell you how I feel
While you hide behind that smile
And the soft hellos
I'm afraid to ask you
How you feel about me
Your reply will be

                             You know.

When I say I'd give you the world
I meant it
All the mountains we must climb
All the oceans we must cross
Everything we face
I meant it
All the doubt is in my mind
While all the love rest in my heart
So when I say I'd give you the world
Believe me
Because you are that world

Every time I drive home
late at night
my mind tells me to
drive to you,
but I haven't heard from you
in months.
I still wonder if you
ever regret kissing me
goodbye for the last time.
If you replay the moment
in your head over and over
again, wishing
you had never changed your mind.
We all know feelings and life
change like the weather
and there was nothing I could have
done to get you to stay.

Forgive me my dear
If I stumble too far
I know not how to love correctly
I'm silly and clumsy with my words
They don't take shape in the way I want
Just let me kiss you instead
Let these sad lips kiss you
And show you what my heart cannot.

She was remarkable
Easily the most beautiful
She was complicated
Her hair all tangled
Like a ball of yarn in the cats paw
And all I ever wanted in life
Was to sit by her
And help untie her knots

I met a girl who puts her hair up with a pen.
But before thinking, "that's an odd thing to do,"
I lended her one of mine so I could try to see her face, now uncovered.

That beautiful face.

That beautiful girl.

I want to kiss your lips
until my whole mouth burns,
The kind of affection that would leave
me in pain and suffocating for air
as my lips weld shut,
Yet your breath is a small consequence
to pay for the moment with your touch.
