Alone on a balcony
The stars are out tonight
Both in the sky, and in our eyes
Do you see them too?

Finally the words come out
'It looks really nice'
Subtle, but appreciated
My heart pounds, but I respond

'Yeah'
We could stand there forever
Get lost in each other's souls
Truth hits me, I am a fool

'We should go back now'
Barely a minute, and it's over
Heart
            drops
That was the end of it, our moment?

No, no, no
All I did was amplify, exaggerate
Feelings for me are naught
Nothing, just as I thought

*Nothing.
so the other night I was on a balcony with my ex-crush (we went to get something and were going to walk back) and it was such a beautiful cliche romantic moment that I almost fell back into it ha ha ha halp but nah, I'm sure we all amplify these small moments into big ones right?

Do you think we could go
                               back      
                         to
                    a
         time
when life was simpler?

But why would you want to?
Simple is boring
If you do, what's the point in living?
Instead, please
                            keep
                                        moving
                                                        forward
time is a funny thing. when you're young, life is simple, and seems fun. you grow up and life is so complicated, but it's so much more fun and the emotions keep you going.

you're tired
carrying the weight of the world
running, running away
what are you chasing?

carrying the weight of the world
against your frail fragile frame
what are you chasing?
peace, quiet, the paradise you'll never find

against your frail fragile frame
still nowhere to hide
peace, quiet, the paradise you'll never find
you're lost

still nowhere to hide
running, running away
you're lost
you're tired

Don't approach a dog unknown to you
Holding out your hand, making eye contact
You may frighten him
Let him come to you

Don't write a poem uninspired
It won't work out
In good time
Let it come to you

Don't go out there seeking love
Like a child with a butterfly net
Live your life
Let it come to you

What if it doesn't go the
Way I want it to?
What if it becomes a big
Flop?

Excitement and fear
Battle it out in my heart
As the hour draws near
So close yet so far

And then it hits me
Like a cannon freshly fired
This matter, simply trivial
Just the way my brain is wired

Why should I worry?
Let it go the way it does
All these fears, bury
Because think about this

If I can worry about that
Equal fear then goes to:
What if the sun doesn't rise?
What if I never wake up?

All equally scary
Once you take a moment
To
        *think
so I'm really excited for something tomorrow but also scared it all goes just wrong, so just have faith that everything will go the way it's supposed to :) even if you're not religious, there's no point worrying in something you have no control over right?

Dropped when bored
Just for your pleasure
