"staring at at the night sky trying hard not to cry. wishing i could truly have you sit right here talking with me. i was so dang lost until i found you. and then POOF! you magically appeared. years later growing apart always brings so much pain. suffering is hard, and being alone makes it harder and even worse. i tried wishing on one of those stars. the light must have burnt out because im still here hoping for the best but knowing its not going to change my course.


walking down the sidewalk i happen to stop and look at everyone around. i found couples and lovers and all of a sudden my foot hits the ground. i remember the way you used to look at me when we were tweens, i never know i could be so jealous of strangers. i watch them like i'm like im at the zoo in awe wishing it was me and you. but then my foot hits the ground.


the city lights are all around. no hiding from the brightest building. it's big and tall, the best one to shop at in the whole entire town. it's beautiful and makes me wonder how such a thing was made. i've always heard great reports from this store but never dared to enter through its doors. i open the clear glass to let myself through but its locked. i knock and knock but no answer. i look through the other windows and inside people are laughing at me and i'm being mocked. i guess the store doesn't have enought room for everyone to shop in. i hate to be out of season with my clothes but i guess it's time to take a hint. i should probably start shopping at target.


the stop lights. red.yellow.green.in our relationship, a few certain people had the courage to intervene. we were stuck in traffic and im honking the horn, but you don't seem to hear it! it's like a silent movie, words unspoken! i'm trying to tell you something bad is going on but the light turns green. i forget to go and i finally start to leave but then it changes to yellow. i leave at green but i cant find you. i lost you. i put my pedal to the metal but you proceed without me and went to fast. now my car is breaking down and i pull to the side of the road, the engine is busted. no hope for repairing and no money in the bank. i guess i'll have to walk home."
