NC

You were that state.

Every city, every corner, you.

Only an hour or two away,  

hoping to see you again

but I never did and I never will. 

I loved the trees, the roads, 

the southern food, the y'alls,

but I won't go back.

That state is you.

damn the butterflies

Damn the things I feel when I see you smile at me.
Damn the butterflies living within me because of you.

please

Please don't build me up just to bring me down.
Please don't play with this heart that's known so much pain.
Please be honest, I can take it.
Please honey, please.

insignificant feelings

I was out of my mind, looking for you when you didn't want to be found.
This evil apparatus lets me know you've been around just not in the mood to shout out.

It's alright, it's not your fault, I get too excited about insignificant things and feelings.

we lost it

We lost it.
No longer we ask how we are waiting for an honest answer, a "fine" does it now. 
No longer we try to hide the spark in our eyes as we look at each other, there is no spark. 
No longer we complete each other sentences, we barely speak at all.
We lost it.

play with fire

If you know you'll get burned in the end, you might as well play with fire.

never yours

Never yours, 

always wild,
always free,
like the ocean breeze you can't deny me,
like the mockingbird singing,
always true,
always blue,
but never ever yours.

crooked paths

If it feels like it's the wrong thing to do, then it probably is. Never listened to my heart, because although I knew it was wrong I also wanted adventure, but at what cost? Someone once told me not to worry, crooked paths won't deny you from walking in a straight line.
