Should I Wave Or Not

This little rhyme is of a simple sort
it has no hidden meanings or pioneering thoughts
it is of daily interactions and about our every day gig
to smile and wave and act like were all just a bunch of kin
It is about you and me and the life we used to live
The life we live now and the one that has yet to begin
classes, parties, and everything of the sort we should have known it would come to this 
day
were we would just put our heads down and look the other way
We might have once hugged or even took out our phones
exchanged numbers and talked with one-another about were we can find each-others 
homes
does it seem natural or must we remorse 
that that chick down the hall is now just of the everyday sort  
no more giggles or friendly hellos
Ill just pretend I didn't see you and go go go

In a Different Time In a Different Place

In a different time in a different place
I can see a smile on our face
I see an projection of how love is meant to be
It wasn't as described
but simply you and me
our personalities colliding to become we
our differences are our amusement 
and our similarities are our harmony
Its as if I am to you are as you are to me
my gratitude is a mere representation of the compassion I feel when your by me
the future is our reality and the present is our mentality
I have regrettably come to realize 
I am not who is he
and whats best will not always be
I am so happy to be with you and have nothing but appreciation
when I think of what you mean to me
you are everything of what a good person should be
your lovely, beautiful, and inspiring
I cant stress enough this is tough
I can't say the word
but I know it's true
all I can assure you is
that I will always see you in a different time in a different place 
as one who has a smile on their face

Naive As Can Be

I am a creature of impulse
I fantasize about the future
but live in the now
  what it is is never quite what I expected
but I improvise, and get their somehow
I know who I wanna be
but why will it always be imposable and why cant I finally see 
Its never gonna seem how I thought it was gonna be
In fact he who is waiting for me
I know is someone completely unfamiliar to who I will be
I am the creation of my past
What remains after I left behind everything I would hate myself for being
shamefully resenting the person I used to be
while trying to clutch him and remember all his glee
 When I do finally grasp him I wonder why is he so incredibly new to me 
he is who I am and I am who is he
We two can never know till we get there
and when we get their we still wont ever see
that the now is whats a part of me 
and the now is all I'll ever be
