Favorite Quote:
Scenery is nothing more than poetry.
Love is nothing more than chemicals.
'Cause fairy tales are just scribbled pages filled with happy endings and little white lies.
One person can make a difference, but a crowd can make a change.


Here it is four years later,
I assumed we would be closer.
That if I waited patiently in time,
Someday you would become mine.
Ha, I wish that was the case,
But instead, I do my best to ignore your pretty face.
Lesson learned; we're complete opposites,
It seems I just won't believe it.
I throw away the feelings and attempt to think,
But they instantly return with one blink.
And here comes the hardest part,
The choice I'm making will shatter my heart.
If it's not done now,
I'll continue to be let down.
I like you more than you will ever know,
More than I will ever let show.
I understand my feelings you will never return,
So I gotta stop setting myself up to crash and burn.
You'll never notice what I have to offer,
We're stuck where we're at and not growing closer.
To inform you, I would have never put you last,
But to the back of my mind you'll be sent, a figment of my past.
See, you're a good girl,
No room for a bad guy in your world.
Given the chance though, I'd change for you,
Time again, I've proven myself true.
I began to realize that you're out of my field zone,
Gotta stop playing a game where I'm alone.
We can hold a conversation, I know I make you laugh,
Why is it that it's your love I can't have?
I'm a dreamer, but it's time I put it behind me,
If the dream doesn't come true, why should I believe?
And here comes the hardest part,
The choice I'm making will shatter my heart.
If it's not done now,
I'll continue to be let down.
I like you more than you will ever know,
More than I will ever let show.
I understand my feelings you will never return,
So I gotta stop setting myself up to crash and burn.
You'll never notice what I have to offer,
We're stuck where we're at and not growing closer.
To inform you, I would have never put you last,
But to the back of my mind you'll be sent, a figment of my past.
You caught my heart in 2010,
It's time I reclaim it back again.
We exchange words once in a while,
Every time we do, I capture your smile.
But the day has come for me to let you go,
You'll never feel the same, I know.
I wish you best in life with what is you do,
And remember, the best part of me was always you...
And here comes the hardest part,
The choice I'm making will shatter my heart.
If it's not done now,
I'll continue to be let down.
I like you more than you will ever know,
More than I will ever let show.
I understand my feelings you will never return,
So I gotta stop setting myself up to crash and burn.
You'll never notice what I have to offer,
We're stuck where we're at and not growing closer.
To inform you, I would have never put you last,
But to the back of my mind you'll be sent, a figment of my past.
