Smiling from ear to ear
One dimple and all

Yeah, it’s completely your fault


And you like it.

Things just instantly got simpler.
Is that really all it took?
A talk, a glance, and a fear to lose...
I know I said it wouldn’t change anything,
but I lied
Don’t get me wrong, I won’t act like it did
But you know better
And for some reason
I don’t feel so alone anymore
Please don’t walk down a road
that I can’t go
Because honestly
waiting has been my specialty
That head tilt, those nights, these talks
I don’t know how else to explain it,
other than I somehow feel like
even though I don’t know the details,
my life was just reassembled
For the first time in a while
my smile means that I’m happy
and I know that no matter what
I’m changed for the better because of you

I’ll never stop caring
I’ll never stop buying you dinner or flip-flops
I’ll never stop writing obviously coded poems about you
I’ll never stop being here for you
I’ll never stop being annoying
I’ll never stop giving you hugs when you don’t want them
I’ll never stop getting on your last nerve about stupid ****
I’ll never stop doing random **** for you to make you happy
I’ll never stop being here
I’ll never stop bugging you to talk to me about how you feel
I’ll never stop being protective over you when it comes to people you date
I’ll never stop sending you random ****
I’ll never stop couch attacks
I’ll never stop shower talk time
I’ll never stop groaning about your shows you get addicted to
I’ll never stop being your best friend
I’ll never stop treating you like your the most important thing to me, because you are
I’ll never stop rolling my eyes when you tell me to do something
I’ll never stop taking random trips with you
I’ll never stop getting into pointless arguments with you for the sake of just yelling at each other
I’ll never stop being there for you when you’re sick, even though you hate that
I’ll never stop randomly thinking about what could’ve been
I’ll never stop going to concerts with you
I’ll never stop reminiscing on our many adventures
I’ll never stop calling you dear to annoy you
Sweetheart, I’ll never stop loving you
And that’s that

I never have really like coffee shop love stories anyway
So it’s a good thing that this isn’t that
Who are we kidding?  
This is a four-way hexagon CIA basement with black lights love story
People see right through us, and me, sorry I can’t help that
If only there was someone there to reassure me that you actually care
I mean, I know you do, but ****** it’s too good to be true
You are too good to be true
I get it, but just for my sanity
Tell me who I am?
I’m wandering through the basement with the two others and the hexagon is completed
The CIA is about to kick me out so please hurry and tell me
I need to know
I normally don’t call favors
But you owe me that much dear

Some days are better
Always me, never be

Other days are hell
Always me, never be

This is just a lie until you leave
Always me, never be

What will I do when this story has its end?
Always me, never be

Will you water the grass on my grave with your tears?
Always me, never be

Pay attention to the answers I’m giving you
Always me, never be

Sometimes life has its ways
Always me, never be

Words run through my mind and won’t leave
Always me, never be

Your silence is a deafening roar
Always me, never be

I will wander until you guide me back
Always me, never be

Why can’t this be simple
Always me, never be

Right, because it’s you
Always me, never be

I’ll stay until you see
Always me, never be

It’s been one week since you called me
I should be happy, I guess
But I’m not
This gap in my heart is getting ever much so bigger
And I slowly realize that maybe I was wrong to let you go
We had our times that were rough
But god did we have it good
Everyone sees this terrible relationship
But on the inside it was better
Or so I thought
I guess what I’m trying to say is
I really love you
And you were definitely
My favorite mistake

I feel your silky hair through my rough, calloused hands
Your flawless skin softens this hardened heart
Melting away into your arms
Gentle scratches across my bare back remind me,
That I am far from alone in this cold world
I crave this beautiful touch, not between lovers
A reassuring brush of the shoulder and a deserving look
Eyes that sparkle like a priceless gem
A wise, bullied soul with a sharp wit to match
The voice that strikes fear into me, as a conscious into a person
My love, do not mistake this weary traveler for an idiot
