The Perfect Man

What if I told you that in ten years we'll be in the same place?
What if I told you that in seven years we'll see each other from afar?
What if I told you that in four years we'll be at the same football game?
What if I told you that in one year we'll be at the same fair on the same evening?
What if I told you that tomorrow we'll see each other outside of that coffee shop where we sat in the corner and talked for far too long and stole glances into each other's eyes, but I won't say anything to you...I won't say one God-damn word.

...because I'm still hurting. 

Knee

You're only honest with me when you're drunk or on pain medication. 

Now do you see why my heart is breaking?

Piece

There is something to be said about art that does not question his Artist, yet there is nothing to be said of art that constantly questions his Artist...

Into

"Just as the art wrestles with the idea of his Artist, so does the Artist wrestle with the being of his art..."

Take

I don't know what it's going to take.
But I can tell you it's going to take faith.
I can tell you it's going to take trust.
I can tell you it's going to take a whole lot of love.
I can tell you it's going to take new hope for each day.
I can tell you it's going to take you and me--fully committed, fully here, fully in this.
I can tell you it's going to take patience.
I can tell you it's going to take kindness.

Now, now I know what it's going to take. 

Gone

You are gone.
You are not here.
You are everywhere that is away from me.
You are anywhere I'm not.
You are awake when I'm asleep and asleep when I'm awake.

You are gone.

Easy As

I guess it's that easy for you to walk away.
I guess it's that easy for you to forget.
I guess it's that easy for you to sleep alone.
I guess it's that easy for you take a different tone.
I guess it's that easy for you to sing a different song.
I guess it's that easy for you to steal away.
I guess it's that easy for you to be okay.

Tell me, how is it so easy for you to let go because I'm dying to know.

No More

I found out what it's like to break someone's heart.

--someone who is close to you, someone you love, someone who is fragile, someone who is kind, someone who is irreplaceable, someone I'll never know again.

Behind

"What I thought was going to be a storm turned out to be the sun..."

Miss You

Missing someone is not selfish in the least.
When you miss someone, you're admitting that what happened between you--it mattered.

To be downright honest, when you miss someone, you're admitting that it still matters.

Start

There is an overwhelming love within me that is giving me the power to forgive you. 

Turned Tables

You started out over, and I started out under.
But in the midst of revealing and renewing, I ended up over, and you ended up under.
I am where you were, and you are where I was. 
I ended up making the decision you started out making.
You made the decision in the end that I was supposed to make.
And now, you're starting to take me under with you. . .

Funny how the tables turn, isn't it?

Keep

When I run, I don't look back. 

Little

I know that these precious souls are safe in my hands, but my hands are very fragile.  Please don't forget that. 

Society

The artist knows the difference between himself and the common man, yet the comman man does not know the difference between himself and the artist.

Change

The days are coming sooner than I thought.
Maybe You could slow them down?

November

I hate knowing that you gave up when I started to give in...

My Heart

I hate when I'm looking for something and then, after a while, it finally hits me that I gave it away...

You

Sometimes I forget how easy it is to forget.

Power

...that moment when the walk becomes a run. 

Earth Tones

I once knew a boy who hid everything.
He hid his heart.
He hid his emotions.
He hid his thoughts.
Then he took a risk, but he never really took a risk. 
He just thought he did.

Because when you take a risk, you let go of all the pieces.  And he only let go of what he knew...

Pain

...what a way to heal a person.  And now I'm wondering if it's the only way.

Trying Not To Get Lost

When the dust has settled and we can see again, we'll be able to look back.  Yet right now, we can only walk so fast through the fog. 

Was

It's time to leave the past behind.

OK

Tomorrow the sun will shine bright, but I need to get through the storm tonight...

Peace

For the first time in my life, I don't know.
And for the first time in my life, I'm not questioning it.

Questionable

I just found out that you are replaceable. 
And it gives me a freedom unlike any other. 

Unfulfilled

I wanted to go home with him, but I kept thinking of you...

Finally

I will not fall back into old habits.
I will not fall back into old habits.
I will not fall back into old habits.

Tonight, I did not fall back into old habits.

Desire

What am I supposed to do when you won't give me what I want?
