grounded

you're a falling star. you're the getaway car. you're the line in the sand when i go too far. you're a swimming pool on an august day, and you're the perfect thing to say. and you play it coy, but it's kinda cute. and when you smile at me you know exactly what you do. baby, don't pretend that you don't know it's true. cause you can see it when i look at you.

there are better things ahead than any we leave behind.

your face, it dances and it haunts me
your laughter's still ringing in my ears
i still find pieces of your presence here
even after all these years ♥

take me away.

i've only got forever and forever is fine. 

just take your time, 

we'll stop the clock together 

and know that the timing was right.

we grew up way too fast
and now there's nothing to believe
and re-runs all become our history

& if you close your eyes, 

we'll always be the way we were that night.

so sleep darlin'

how could you pretend 

we were just a dream?

it's cool baby,

it doesn't matter anyway.

we can't waste too much time missing something or someone from the past. 

we accept that life's never constant; things change and people grow apart. 

yet we can't stop thinking about how good it used to be; 

afraid that we'd never experience it again, 

afraid that we've already lived it and lost it.

stick around, please?

you & i are just on opposite paths, 

on different roads; 

& we are heading farther 

& farther away from each other.

when you find everything you looked for, 

i hope your life leads you back to my door.

♥ ♥ ♥

when things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always get worse. 

& when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better.

& i knew.. that you meant it.

the moon passes into and out of its phases, 

flowers bloom in spring and stars fall from the skies. 

life simply goes on.

the fray

for now it's when i hold her,
we are closer. 

picture,

 you're the queen of everything

as far as the eye can see...
under your command
i will be your guardian,
when all is crumbling...
steady your hand.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

it's always have and never hold,
you've begun to feel like home.
what's mine is yours to leave or take,
what's mine is yours to make your own.

♥ ♥ ♥ do not get me wrong, i cannot wait for you to come home.

for now you're not here and i'm not there, it's like we're on our own.

if i say who i know it just goes to show
you need me less than i need you
but take it from me, we don't give sympathy
you can trust me trust nobody
but i said you and me we don't have honesty
the things we don't want to speak
i'll try to get out but i never will

this traffic is perfectly still.

sometimes the hardest thing & the right thing are the same♥

fairy dust & bones

i think everything in life is an art.

what you do.

how you dress.

the way you love someone,

how you talk.

your smile & personality.

what you believe in,

& all your dreams.

the way you drink your tea.

how you decorate your home.

or party.

your grocery list.

the food you make.

how your writing looks.

& the way you feel.

life is art.

I COULD REALLY USE 

A WISH RIGHT NOW♥

                                                      LOVE

"whatever you can do, 

or dream, you can, begin it.

boldness has genuis,

power, & magic in it."

all i want is to be someone who creates truly meaningful things.

shut 

the 

fuck 

up.

you're beautiful.

the reflection in the mirror

is her only friend.

GONE.

the saddest word in the english language.

in any language.

-mark slouka

you are beautiful.

half drunk is a waste of $$$.

you are all that i've waited for, all of my life.

god's gift♥

love

♥

you live and you breathe and then you die. in between, if you're lucky, you fall in love, some loves stay forever, others are lost in only a day. but it's still there, underneath all the hurt and pride and years. if it's true love, it's never forgotten. so when someone says they're in love, don't tell them they can't be. don't say they're too young, or it's too soon. love knows no age or length or time. love is a feeling, deep in your heart, that squeezes you tight and you never want to let it go.

when routine bites hard
& ambitions are low
& resentment rides high
but emotions won't grow
& we're changing our ways,
taking different roads
then love, love will tear us apart again.

♥ ♥ ♥

♥ ♥ ♥

i'm here to sing
about the things that mattered.
about the things that made us 

feel alive for oh so long,
about the things that kept you on my side 

when i was wrong.

i thought about you for a long time.

can't seem to get you off my mind.

i can't understand why we're living life this way.

& if i would cry,

then you would cry twice.

to me you are the brightest star

 under sunlight.

every now and then i get a little lost;
my strings all get tangled, my wires all get crossed.

every now and then i'm right upon the edge;
dangling my toes out over the ledge..
i just thank God you're here.

 

♥ ♥ ♥ 

♥ ♥

it's when i'm standing six feet away from you & not being able to find the words to tell you how much i love you & how much i miss you that i just want to scream to the whole room that i'm still in love with you. it's when i'm sitting alone with the phone in my hand dialing your number & hanging up that i would trade a thousand tomorrows for just one day. it's when i am really sad about something & need someone to talk to that i realize you're the only one who really knew me at all. it's when i cry myself to sleep at night & it hits me how much i would give anything to hold you at every moment. it's when i think about you that i realize no one else in the world is meant for me.

this is my best friend kylynn gutierrez.

she's a hot bitch.

4am thoughts

heart means everything

"if you could go back and just change one thing about your life, would you? & if you did, would that change make your life better? or would that change ultimately break your heart? or break the heart of another? would you choose an entirely different path? or would you change just one thing? just one moment. one moment that you’ve always wanted back."

my senior quote:

disreguard males, acquire currency.

_______________________________________________

 

i remember when you lost your head,

sometimes i wonder how you stay so sad when you're so beautiful.

& i remember every word you said,

how you were scared because you never been somewhere so beautiful.

don't think.

don't fucking think.

cause when you think, you realize just how fucked up everything really is.

you realize that you don't know how you got to where you are.

you don't know where you're going,

& you don't know what you want to do anymore.
