If it didn't matter,
it wouldn't still be in your head.

Just once i want someone to look at me
and right away think i'm beautiful.
not after they get to know me, or
after they see my soul, just me.
i want to walk into a room &&
light it up.

I read her story tonight,
and I think it's only right that I should tell you how I feel.
And I'm gonna scream this:
I'll wait 'til the doors are closed
and I'm proved wrong, that there is hope in love.
She's crying alone tonight.

I'm imagining the way you say my name, I don't know when I'm going to hear it again. my friends can't tell my laughter from my cries. someone tell this photograph of you to let go of my eyes.

I have no place in my heart for a boy like you.
I shouldn’t be dwelling over all of your words.
Or overanalyzing your final goodbye.
I shouldn’t wonder if you’re hurt too.

If somebody loved you, you'd rather
them show it that say it, am I right?
But even though they're actions
Scream, "No, no, no."
Their words scream,
"Love, love, love."
There's a big difference.
-My friend, Steven

You have to take the good with the bad.
Smile with the sad. love what you got
And remember what you once had
Always forgive, but never forget
Learn from mistakes, but never regret
People change, things go wrong
Just remember; life goes on.

Tick tock
we ride on early morning trains
bound for early morning planes
and life is less than a blur.
And I've been thinking of you
thinking of me
thinking of everyone
who flies across the sea.
-Alex Kaneko

pt 2

Life moves at the speed
of the heart
which almost never goes along
the speed of a clock
but I've been learning the hard way
what it means
to leave a heart behind

pt 1

Shut the hell up.
you are worth it. you're worth every
guy in that damn school. but you don't
see that. i'm here trying to tell you that you
are, but of course, you won't listen
