With Every Mile

I'm just trying to get out of here,
I'm trading these sunsets for sunrises,
I'm trading these pines and oaks for palm trees.
I'm trying to do exactly what you told me,
I'm trying to make it on my own
With every mile I travel
I'll drop a pieces of this broken heart
So that maybe one day
You'll follow the pieces
Back to me.
But if you don't
I'll be okay
The sunrises and palm trees will keep me company
I'll tell them of this broken heart
And why I ran away from the sunsets and the oaks
Because they didn't make me happy
I felt like it was a prison
But with every mile I travel
I'm breaking the chains
And becoming free
To live the way I want to
And to finally be truly happy.

Chasing Butterflies

Charming
The way you smile when you say something sarcastic.
Mysterious
I can never guess what you are doing or what you are thinking
Intelligent
Everytime I you speak I fall for you even more.
Sexy
I can't even describe what happens when you are around and I close my eyes.

It feels like I am chasing butterflies, free, beautiful,and wonderful. You don't even know how you make me feel. When you are around I feel calm, I bask in the moments I spend with you. I want you, but I am scared to tell you, because who knows what would happen? But as much as I want you I can't have you. Just like a butterfly, if I catch you you will no longer be free, beautiful, and wonderful. So I keep my feelings away from the surface, so that I can be around you so I can experience your charming smile, to hear your voice, to always guess what is coming next, but most of all I want to be around you so I can close my eyes and think of my fantasy, free beautiful, and wonderful.

A Love Story

You stole my heart
no
I gave it to you
because when I looked at you
it made my heart fly
you made me feel like a person
you made me smile
you made me laugh
you are wonderful
you are my world
as we sat and watched the sunset
I hoped that it would never end
that you would be mine forever
and I yours
it's perfect
you and I
were made to be together
I don't want a prince
I don't want to the princess
I'm fine with just sitting here
in jeans and t-shirt
with you
holding me
making my soul warm
i love you

It's funny
I thought you were different
you acted different
you talked different
you treated me different
but in the end
you weren't different at all
you left

I sat by the phone
waiting
but you never called
I guess you didn't feel the same
You didn't feel the butterflies
I still try
I want you so bad
I'll forget
I will do whatever you want
please love me
please
don't leave
stay
let me show you
how much I love you.

You stayed a little bit
of course
you are a guy
you want proof
I gave you proof
but after
you still left

I guess I wasn't good enough
I wish I was
I stay up all night
thinking about what I could have done different
what I could have done to get you to stay
I guess I just wasn't good enough
to keep you
because you will leave
no matter what I do.
just like the others
but you meant so much more
then all of them
I'd trade all of them
for you
but it doesn't matter
because I wasn't good enough
so leave
but remember
i love you

Scared

I'm scared
that I won't ever love again
that I made the wrong decision to leave
that loving you was what I was born to do
that when I leave you'll forget
that you'll pretend I never existed
that you'll move on
that you'll have the life I always dreamed about
that you'll be happy and I won't be
that I am not skinny enough
that I am not pretty enough
that I am inadequate
I'm scared that I'm not good enough.

So play on my insecurities
tell me that I am beautiful
tell me that you love me
tell me that you miss me
tell me you want me back
tell me that you want to hold me
tell me there is no one else
tell me no one is more important then me.

Then you'll get what you want
then you'll use me
then you'll lose me
then you'll pretend nothing ever happened
that I am just a footnote in a chapter of many women.

Be Mine

"Be Mine"

It was crazy,

most people say

you fall in love first

then you touch.

But love is a crazy thing

sometimes it doesn’t work like that

sometimes when you touch

you melt

and you just realize

you were never meant to be with anyone else but them.

That’s what happened with me and you

it happened way to fast

I told myself to hesitate and put my guard on.

but it didn’t happen

and now I’m yours.

Now I find myself

going crazy over you

and how much

I want you to fall for me

just has hard as I have fallen for you.

so come dance with me

be mine

because I’m yours.
