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.


It's none of my business to ask,
But it's been pondering my mind.
Does he treat you better than I did?
Has he memorized your favorite song and all the lines?
Because you know I didn't forget,
Singing along in sync as two.
And every part is stuck inside my head,
I try to sing it, but it just doesn't sound the same without you.
And I was scrolling through pictures in my phone,
That time at the carnival came up on my screen.
A Ferris Wheel kiss to end the night,
Such a shame that it feels just like a dream.
I'm not saying that I miss you,
Time has allowed me the chance to start over.
So I'm writing these words to let you know,
I haven't forgotten, that I'm starting to remember.
Everything that's happened was meant for a reason,
If he's taken my place, then it's supposed to be this way.
You told me to never give up and I promised I wouldn't,
Hopefully I keep that promise one day.
The true reason I'm composing this,
Is because I wanted to ask you.
Do you remember us at all?
'Cause I still do.
I bet he's found a comfy place in your heart,
But does he even know your favorite candy?
Those M&M's you love to eat,
I brought you a bag and you smiled at me.
Does he show up at your door,
Surprising you with a flower bouquet?
Randomly call you to check in,
And make sure you're safe even when you say you're okay?
I wasted my only chance,
And I made more than just a mistake.
But I can cope with seeing you in a blissful state,
Because that's one thing you have that I don't wanna take.
I'm not saying that I miss you,
Time has allowed me the chance to start over.

Hover my fingers above the buttons,
But pictures are memories I can't delete.
Though it's so tempting too,
Because I don't want these days to constantly repeat.
You have him, this I know,
And I should have erased you by now.
I've gone out countless times,
Nothing works in this deadbeat town.
One last call I'll throw,
Into the air that's wide open.
Made up my mind,
After this, you won't hear from me again.
