This Could Be All We Know Of Loving.


We used to talk about it..
Then I forgot about it.

I forgot to think about all the things I wanted to say. 
I forgot about all the ways I wanted to say them.
I forgot about the stars and how each reminded me of you.


--Yesterday I looked toward the future with no doubts..
--Yesterday I was unafraid.. 
--Yesterday I was unquestionable..

--Tomorrow I will wonder if we will be where we are meant to be..
--Tomorrow I will wonder if this is the life are meant to have..
--Tomorrow I will wonder if I should ever look back on my yesterdays..

This past is haunted and the future is fake.


Rainy evenings are when we feel it most
And nothing scares me quite like this does.

When I first laid eyes on you I thought to myself, “I don’t know what to do.”
What a fool to chase you, but it’s what I will do.
I swore I was chasing a ghost; someone I'll never touch.
Oh, home in Alabama; that's where you got the best of me. 

And it took our lust to wreck it all.
Yet, right in this moment, this is all that matters
But we refuse to be patient...
I’ll tell you, in the morning I will be with you..
But we will be different; hiding in our own skin...
And we'll ask ourselves who in the hell we are.
We are burning all our bridges and watching the ashes fly up.
Who will love us after we fall? Will we?

They say love is for fools.
We'll never have a chance to fall in love..
Our selfish ways will not get us there.
Broken hearts and broken promises are not what we want from this
But it may be all we have in the end.
What happened here?
We let all our hope fall.

Maybe you and your sad blue eyes could pull me through.. Out of all these lies..
If you thought about it…
If it’s in the back of your mind…if you have an emptiness…
We should let our worlds re-collide.


Throw your arms around me and keep this quiet
What a wonderful life;
We fell in love knowing the pain it would bring
And nothing feels better than our breaths in rhythm and hearts beating as one.. 
I just wanted you to know, you’re the best.


And even if I could feel alright when everything is wrong…
This place I have will never be right.
Always like before I’m trying hard to not try so hard.
Sifting through mishaps and photographs
I think of you much more than I should...
And now I'm looking for you again.

But something in your eyes says your falling in
Here in my arms is where you belong..
Together we will shake the nightmares. 
Love, we sleep apart for the last time.
I think I figured it out,
We are meant to be like the shore and the sea.

We’ve been drinking in the few past days.
This time we shot a star out from the sky just to watch it fall.
And I want you to see what thoughts will do...
And maybe one day I thought I could love you...

Baby, you can run away
But that road won’t take you where you need to be going.
I’m drifting out over deep water.
And I can't grab onto the tide to pull me back in.

There is comfort in things we believe and also in things we can see.
Wherever you are just know this distance between us I’m willing to cross.
And I’m tired of these desperate nights...

This is easy living but it’s not when you dance on your own.
Whoever you love now…
Whoever you kiss…
The ones in-between us, I’m willing to miss.



I don’t have the heart to say you won’t ever reach me,
Even if we were the last two in a long line, I will keep you.
But I just don’t see all the good in this...maybe we'll find something better

And this could be all we know of loving…

Never to late..

"For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be.  There's no time limit, stop whenever you want.  You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing.  We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it.  And I hope you see things that startle you.  I hope you feel things you never felt before.  I hope you meet people with a different point of view.  I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again."


We Are Animals...

We are conversations on mountain sides.
We are the sweet kisses into the late nights.
We are the sound of rain.
We are the sugary smell of springtime.
We are the sweet traces of fingertips.
We are glances across rooms.
We are finding ourselves.
We are everything we've ever wanted, but everything we can't have.

We are animals...
I am the patience and the forgiving.
You are the fierce and never forgetting.

                                                                           We are the Earth.
                                                                           I am the cool grass.
                                                                          You are the warm sunshine.

                                               We are scared...
                                               I am the one lost among my thoughts.
                                               You are the circles that spin them 'round.

             We are chasing fire...
             I am the nervous one.
             You are the comforting arms.



It's not where I am but who I’m with.  It’s being alive and actually living. 

I will point out your flaws and show you mine...
just to remind us of how human we are...and what a beautiful thing that is. 


This is a journey not taken— but an adventure waiting to happen.
