All the Little Things

Somewhere along the way, I fell in love.
I fell in love with all the little things you didn't know you were doing.
I fell in love with how protective you are, even from so far away.
I fell in love with the way you show me off to your friends.
I fell in love with how you smiled at me.
I fell in love with the way you love me.
And honestly, I've never been more in love with anyone than I am with you.

Playing With Fire

Our love was never meant to last, I knew that.
I'm plain and boring, like grass that tickles your bare feet,
But you, you're like a fire that burns in the darkness of the night.
And though I knew we wouldn't last, I needed to try.

Mom always told me never to play with fire,
But I never knew playing with the fire within your heart was just as bad.
And when you left, my heart didn't break, it burned.
And darkness returned to my life.

Fourteen Years

They say you meet your soulmate by the time you're 21.
I thought that was the biggest lie ever told.

Love wasn't something I really believed in.
All it did was break me and hurt me.

Little did I know, you've been in front of me this whole time.
Little did I know, I met my soulmate 14 years ago.

We were kids when we met, dumb and naive.
But we're grown up now.

And I stand in front of you, my heart in my hands.
I know you loved me once, but feelings fade.

But it's you and it's me.
Maybe we were always endgame.

I never thought I'd fall in love with my best friend.
But you're the only one who's always been there for me.

You've always loved me, and I hope it's not too late to love you too.
I hope another girl didn't snatch your heart.

I hope we won't always be star-crossed lovers.
I hope we can defy all odds.

You have the power now.
Keep my heart or let it go.

But I know I will always love you.

Never Felt Like a Criminal

I never felt like a criminal
For being a girl
Who got A's in her classes
And not for being a great shag. 
I never felt like a criminal 
For being born the way I am
A female with a big bust
Breasts don't mean she's a good shag
I never felt like a criminal 
For not wanting to let him in
For not wanting him to take away
The last of my innocence.
The last of my childhood
I never felt like a criminal
For denying a man sex
Or rejecting him multiple times.
I never felt like a criminal
Until the policeman looked me in the eyes
And asked me what I was wearing
Saying my shirt was too low
My shorts were too short
My boobs are too big.
I never felt like a criminal 
Until the policeman let the man free
The man who almost took my innocence
The man who could and would do it again
Because girls dress like they WANT to be raped. 
We provoke it by wearing clothes we like.
It's wrong
It's disgusting
I never felt like a criminal 
Until this very moment ...

To His Next Girl

Dear his future girlfriend,

Please love him in the ways I couldn't.
Baby him when he's sick.
He says he hates it, but he doesn't.

He'll tell you not to get him gifts,
But the smallest things make him happy.
Make him something, he'll love it.

Let him be the small spoon sometimes.
Hold him tight
And leave small kisses on his back.

Don't let him pick up smoking again.
He loves 2 big scoops of sugar in his coffee,
But he prefers tea.

Don't get angry at him when he forgets,
He's always been forgetful
But he remembers the most important things.

He loves comedy movies,
But he will watch your favourite movie with you
No matter how much he hates it.

He might not surprise you on Valentine's day
But he'll surprise you randomly
Because he'll love you everyday.

Take him to the zoo.
He loves the animals,
But loves watching children's first time there more.

He prefers staying in to going out
He loves home cooked meals
He's a mama's boy.

You'll know he's upset
Because he avoids you.
He'll come around soon (he loves cuddles)

You might think you love him more
Because you show it more often
But believe me, he loves you more than anything.

He'll carry you to bed if you fall asleep on the couch.
He'll make your favourite food when you're sad.
He will do anything to make you happy.

He likes to sing softly to himself.
He's embarrassed when people hear him,
So just listen quietly.

Most importantly,
Don't let him go.
Because you'll miss him more as each day passes.

My Ex Lover

Months have passed
And I still don't understand
How your feelings could go away so fast.

I thought what we had was real.
I thought it could be forever,
Because my heart you did steal.

I still remember the glimmer in your eyes,
Your radiant smile
It was a love we could not hide.


All the PDA,
Oh I didn't know I had fallen
Until you had walked away,

Left me behind to cry.
Left alone to pick up the pieces,
Was it all just a lie?

I guess it's true that you were my first love,
And everything just went so well.
And your hand fit into mine just like a glove.

All I wanted was to steal your heart,
To have a relationship to make people envious,
But instead we had to part.

You were like a beautiful shiny pearl,
And it didn't matter what people said,
Because you were my girl.

Months have passed, 
And I cannot forget the love we shared,
The love that just couldn't last.

Regret

Everyone says you have at least one regret in life. 

I used to believe mine was not speaking louder in class. 

Until I met her and realized I'd always want her. 

I'd want her laughs and her sass.

I'd want her tears and her love.

I'd want all of her for however long she'd have me. 

But that wasn't long enough.

And I ask myself everyday why she left me. 

My one regret in life is allowing her to walk out that door. 

Nothing more than a hug goodbye.

I didn't fight for her to stay.

And instead stayed in my room to cry. 

I miss her more and more everyday. 

But if she's happy, I should move on.

But it hurts so much not having her to hold.

Being without her feels so wrong.

Friends Or More

I have so many keys,
But the only one I want is the one to your heart.

I would swim the seven seas,
So we'd never have to be apart.

I no longer need the sun,
Because your smile lights up my universe.

I'd like to believe you're the one,
But you'd probably go in reverse.

I don't care if we're friends or more,
I just want you in my life.

Because without you my heart would be sore,
As if it were stabbed with a knife.

I guess what I'm trying to say
Is I just wish you happiness.

And I hope you stay
Despite all this sappiness.

Love

The thing about love
Is that it shows up
When you're not looking for it.

I stopped looking for someone to love.
Now here you are
Bringing out the me I thought was gone. 

It started with a simple hello.
Now goodbye is hard
And I want to see you all the time. 

It hasn't been this way for me
In a very long time.
I'm sorry if I do something wrong. 

You just make me so nervous.
It's as if I'm in Elementary again,
Giving a special Valentine to my crush.

But it's not Valentine's Day,
Nor am I a small child.
And this feels like more than a crush.

Maybe I can believe again, 
Allow myself to fall
Whether or not you catch me.

I'm going to try to love again.
Try not to get my heartbroken.
Try to become happy again.

Heartless Tired Disposable

The world looks empty, no lights on in the windows
Just like the window to my heart,
Dark and empty. Heartless.

A single car drives by,
A sleepy driver and half asleep passenger.
Reminds me of relationships these days,
Everyone getting bored. Tired.

A stranger throws his empty coffee cup on the ground,
That's how I feel, thrown away and forgotten. Disposable.

I try to rid these feelings, but they are demons,
Stuck in my mind, slowly taking over me.
And they're stronger than me. They've won.
