It's beautiful the way you make me laugh,
But sometimes I get scared,
And sometimes it's hard to breathe,
And sometimes I can't see what's real through the tricks of my mind,
And sometimes I just wish
That I could lay my head on your shoulder
And cry.

nothing compares to that feeling
that catches my breath
and tightens my chest
and makes me wonder
why anyone ever does anything
but this

and it's quite possible that she's absolutely mad
but she sparkles and fizzes and pops
and loves truly
and gives freely
and takes the business of loyalty
quite seriously,
and those who can see past the madness
are rewarded with her all-consuming love
                                     (forever)
                                           (i mean it)
                                                (no take-backs)

any two people can grow old together
if circumstances allow.
it isn't spectacular.
we can do better.
let's grow beautiful together,
let's grow strong together,
let's grow whole together.
let's grow together even when we're apart
so that time only brings us closer.
let us always love each other in this strange and beautiful way
so that i always have a reason to try harder
and be kinder
to make sure someone loves you
the way you deserve
to be loved.

i don't think that i will know you five years from now,
but i will remember you,
and i will hope that
wherever you are
and whatever you're doing,
you are happy,
because that's all i ever wanted for you,
anyways

I did that thing I do,
Where I push people away
Without even trying.
And I can't ever translate
The breathless and overwhelming love I feel for people
Into actions and words
Or anything all
That is visible to others.
So I constantly seem
Like I don't care,
Or I don't love,
Or I'm only being nice
Because
I'm high.

And this girl with the rough edges
And the sailor's mouth
Just might be the most beautiful thing
I've ever seen.
It's not a secret that
I like a girl who can hold her liquor,
But it might be a secret
That this girl,
With her tattoos
And her piercings
And her ****-'em-all facade
Fits so perfectly in my silly dreamer's heart
That I sometimes forget
She isn't mine.
