Still Yours

I know that things are silent between us now.

I know that when we sit in the swing it is merely to listen to the wind.

I know that when your name pops up on my phone, it's just to say Hey.

I know that there is more to talk about.

I know that there will be more to see.

I know that it will not be the same. 

But please know that you have not lost me.

Let Me Go

And if you find out that I was wrong, could you please just not say, "I told you so"?
I am begging you to let me discover the truth.
I am begging you to let me forget what I know.

I am begging you to let me go...

Somehow

When others go, I stay.

Doubt

Now do you see why everything you face must be bigger than you?

Keeper

I made the promise without the intention of ever keeping it.
I met you without the intention of ever keeping you.

But you, you have these intentions of keeping your promises and keeping me.

Alone

I looked around and it occurred to me that everyone I had begun this race with was nowhere to be found...

Still Here

You held on even through the pain.
...even through the pain. 

--xcept

You should not have to explain yourself to the person you love...

Platinum

This was about you not getting what you wanted. 

This was about you not having the best. 

This was about you losing all of your power.

This was never about me...

Tolerance

It should not take one dance to bring it all back.
And I should not have to go through three bottles of wine to forget you...

Keeper

You tend to drop a secret at just the right moment.

And you know that you do not have to whisper around me. 

I just found it mysterious that we have the same secrets, but you'll never know this.

Because unlike you, I keep my secrets.

Especially when I know you have the same ones.  

--holic

I hate when what I do gets in the way of what I do.  

Beyond Thorns

I let the roses you sent me die and wilt away.  
Did you hear me?
I said that I let the roses you sent me die and wilt away.

Isn't that what you left me to do last summer? 

Pieces

My brokenness was all I had to give.
I did not expect something whole and full to come out of this.

Darlin'

People are free around you.
They are awakened by what you say.
And they smile when you laugh.

...because when you laugh, the stars light up.  And who wouldn't take pleasure in watching a star shine?

My Innocent

Don't you think it is time you let go of your shame and guilt?

in love with a hypocrite

My lipstick is a darker shade of red.

My corset is tighter and falls on the wrong side of the bed.

My ideas become thoughts and then they are said.

You don't have to be holy to be a whore.

In fact, I find the self-righteous to be a bore.

Pinot Grigio

The taste of white wine is always accompanied with the memory of you.  

You are both bitter.  

You are both sweet.  

You are both weaker than me...

Our Song

Strum your guitar and let me sing the bridge again.  There are still notes we have yet to hit...

The Gift

The very gift that brings the glory will be the same gift to tragically end this story...

Distance

We fit, and we are apart.  

Tell me, how does one fit so well with another and yet fall so far from them? 

Driveway

Everyone walks away at some point in their life, but you do not know how hard it is to watch you walk away.

You. Me. Us.

The only thing that is worse than a guilty heart is a conflicted heart...

...falling joy

You are so peaceful when you sleep, and I would be lying if I said that wasn't one of the reasons I could not stop myself from falling in love with you.  

Blank

I prefer the unknown.  There is too much comfort in what we know. 

Midst

I prefer the journey over the destination.

Loss

I remembered each evening we spent together those three months, but now I have forgotten the taste of you...

Starre

I am just done wrestling with something that I will inevitably become.

10 Years Ago

...you were a rebel.
...you were lost.
...you didn't know me.

And now
...you're not a rebel.
...you've found something
...and you know my name.
