Most of our lives are a series of images, they pass us by like towns on a highway. Sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens and we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image. We know that this moment, every part of it, will live on forever


I split at seams
You send me pictures of blue guitars
I listen to that song you love, about passing cars
I know you better than you could know yourself
I see how you reach for that book on that shelf
And silence, silence is all I have
You look right past me and I stifle a laugh
And If you knew me, It wouldn't be the same
I need our silence, our little game
So you keep moving on…on and on
And I’d continue living in your shadow, forever and now
Till that day you meet me
That’s when we’d say goodbye
Because I love you better
When you're just words and lies.


The author's comments:
This one is about a girl who is in love with a boy. She doesnt kno him. She's never met him. But she loves him because she reads what he posts on the internet. She knows his soul because he leaves a part of himself in every piece of his writing. But she's afraid that if she meets him, the magic will end because he can no longer match to what she thinks of him in her mind.
