I woke up early and cleaned my room
and now the emptiness of the floor just reminds me
I have nothing left to do
summer time
its supposed to be freedom
i think back to last year
days in a blaze, television on
i didn't do much writing, but i forgave myself then
i was in a different place
i had just found the world, found myself, found my happiness
but i still hadn't found you
Now that my life is connected with yours, i feel more responsibility
my actions and choices belong to both of us
our future, moving forward,so someday it can be perfection and i never have to leave your side
its so funny how when i was a kid, that very same word took over my world
that's what i wanted more than anything, so that i could disappear
now i use that word to exist, to live out loud in rainbow colors, to be in love with you
motivation
the methoxetimine is helping
i am writing because i want a history
i want words that won't wander off like memory,
that time doesn't wash like sand on the shore
i want this state of mind to be permanent
being in love, the other half of your heart hidden safely in mine
i called our story forever
you said to call it perfection
maybe, in a way, they mean the same thing
jump to my bed last night, night sweats
toss and turn, pillow burn,
with body heat and bad dreams that don't make sense
and aren't me
then you call, finally, but in that space of half consciousness i realized something
if you were to die, then i would just have to kill myself
and then i went back to sleep
no one understands
those are teenage words, but i need them now
"you seem to be living in lala land recently"
she meant it as in insult, but i took it as a compliment
sorry we figured out how to escape
sorry our strange little island is the only place that i feel safe
well if you left it up to me, everyday could be a holiday from real...
and it is up to me
up to us
you and me against the world
that first week i felt like a superhero
sunshine and tires swirling at impossible speeds
i was on top of the world and i could see my whole future
all those mountains of time with you glistened with this strength and light i can't describe
you're my everything, my world entire
someone else used to say that to me, but i don't think i ever believed him
with the few people who have held on tight, it feels wrong to push his friendship away
but dan and me, that's my new life
i cant go running to the past because im physically alone
when i know in spirit your always by my side
summer is a strange time for me
it brings up lots of memories
in this very room i experienced so much
so many words i wrote, so many tears i cried
you have to trust in your own beginnings
see how that original spark grew into something bigger
and maybe it could have gone a million different ways but the point is that it didn't
i am sitting here, embodying me
I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone
