You're born and in a snap you're paying rent and buying toilet paper and all of your utensils belong to you.
Your heart is covered in tape and hot glue and pushpins and strings.
And you are no longer a child and all the words you have ever spoken exist in between two parentheses on your face.
You're born and all of these things really do happen in a snap.
But five minutes can feel like a lifetime when you're waiting for the final beep on the microwave.
Maybe we aren't always meant to purge the weight of the people who have sunk their feet into the soft places of our heart.
I am heavy with the weight of one thing sure
Next time the earth makes its orbit around the sun
I want to be standing next to you
Sitting on sidewalks underneath golden glowy streetlights
Smoking cigarettes and telling secrets to the night sky
i l l u s i o n
the weight of your soul pressed up against mine
making love in midair
But we are alive in this quiet suburbia
And every piece of you, stitched so tightly together, comes undon
e
You keep apologizing, but I ask you to stop
I want to tell you that I'm not afraid of everything that you are
unravel
unravel
unravel
unravel
I want to see all of you
Maybe someday we will move in freedom
Lips and all
"Pick a place to raise a family and raise a family. Never move. Put down new roots. Start new traditions. Pass on the traditions and words and sayings that mean something to you, and just let someone love you simply. Complicated love is so hard. The grass is never greener - same thing different challenges and different fun. Every relationship (from the one you have with your special pet, girlfriends, in laws, and spouse) requires both parties to put in one hundred percent. It’s not 50/50. You are loyal, and that will translate beautifully for you in your relationships to come."
I really hope that whoever I end up with loves books so that he will understand my references to literature and we can lay in bed together and read and have a huge library created from the combination of two individual lifetimes
