Second Best Advice

In the midst of our many fights over the summer, when my friends could see how torn I really was even through the silence of infuriating words, a friend of mine said something to me,

"Sometimes, it's better just to say nothing at all."

It was that moment that I shut off my phone and had... just a minute... of peace.

Until I returned home to hear your indignation of how I could possibly ignore you... you had the audacity to say such a thing to me when you chose to secure your back turned towards me.

Yeah...

Sometimes, it's better just to say nothing at all.

A bit off...

It all still makes me cringe...almost weep.

I wonder if you ever knew

That I was enchanted to meet you.

5 years...

We'll see...right?

Tonight

I’m scared that these stars will hurt me (so what so what)
I miss the moment when I first met you (no more no more)
Bad when it comes to pain like that, I try to avoid it
But You know that I love you girl girl girl

But a Leap

It's a jump, my dear.
You can always stay up there.

I jumped.

If you jump, I can guarantee to catch you, my dear.
We'll explore this place together.

I know many things up there are pulling you back.
Screaming for you not to jump.
I'm but a single person...just with many others here to help me.

I understand.

I hope you can realize what you want...before I get too old.
My arms grow tired, my feet, sore, from standing.
I get old, my dear.

It's but a leap.

Oh, but I know it's too late...
For both of us...
You're stepping back from the cliff,
And I am already lowering my arms.

Maybe in another life, my love.
Maybe in another life...
