this breeze isn’t settling
and i know your thoughts aren’t
as you think of him still
we both don’t know why
I’ve sat outside waiting
for the moon to melt down
like a candle lit by your bed
but a dozen half times
i still hope to find myself
right there.

dream.
i dream of you.
and if it were up to me
i would not wake.

an endless grass line
pulled down by the pond
I’ve seen your sundress
reflect off that water
but i know I’m one of many other men
how often do you think of only me?
because we don’t talk much
and only cause i learned how to resist
or I’m becoming afraid
that i won’t be enough now.

I deserve to be happy

I’m not waiting on a woman who would rather get hurt than be treated with love.

time and time again

new song i just recorded but im sick and its not awesome yet.

————————————————————————————

i only see one light
and what I see is beautiful.
why is it when I sit next to you
when you ask me to, i feel your warmth?
but you won’t take a look or speak a word to me
so why don’t i just plant my feet in your yard
and try to grow in front of you?
i’ll branch out to all your friends
but i won’t speak of him
i know how that makes you nervous

you’ll tell me that it might work
the few words i throw at you
but you won’t say that you want me to win
I’ll draw out these lines and cross them
it never gets far enough
because we’ve used them so much

can we just sit down and talk?
i want to look you in the eyes
and feel what you are thinking
after a year of not seeing you
you act like you don’t even care
can you just feel the same way that you want to?
instead of pretending everything for you image
build up some courage and tell him the truth
because it’s not so easy
no one ever said it was.

thoughts.

for a couple years now all i’ve wanted to do is move away and really not care about what or who i’m leaving behind, but i don’t think i feel comfortable about that anymore.  i want to miss people and places and memories. i know that would naturally happen, but i know what i’ll be leaving and i care about them.  When the time comes everything will fall into place and i’ll have become closer to the things and people around here…until then.

I have to wait just a little bit longer….
