Counting Down the Days

You were right

And I don't want to be here

If you're gonna be there

Was that supposed to happen

I'll hold tight

I'll remember to smile

Though it has been awhile

And without you does it matter

There's no room

No place to start

When our souls are apart

I wanna travel through time

See your surprise

Hold you so tight

I'm counting down the days tonight

I just wanna be a million miles away from here

I'm counting down the days

How've you been

It's just the usual here

And days are feeling like years

And every day's without you

Now I cry

Just a little too much

When I think of your touch

And everything about you

I feel cold

I'm in the dark

When our souls are apart

I wanna travel through time

See your surprise

Hold you so tight

I'm counting down the days tonight

I just wanna be a million miles away from here

I'm counting down the days

I'm counting down the days

I'm gonna be your surprise

I'm gonna hold you so tight

letters

i write letters to you all the time...

did you know?

they say all the beautiful things i don't have the guts to say to you out loud.

mostly because i'm scared of your response...

who knows?

maybe i'll get the courage to give them all to you one day.

there's a lot of them...

would you read them all?

i'd love to watch your face while you did...if you did.

you're my very favorite

I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that talking to you is what makes my day/night, even if I'm just listening to you write lyrics. 


Dear Skype, you saved my life. 


Am I being too intense? 


I don't think so. At least I hope not. But I don't think I am.


It's been a year.


That's more than enough for me. 

I can't think of anything much truer than that...

Except maybe: I can't wait to grow old with you, if you'll have me.

Maybe I needed this time away, just so I could come to truly realize, even though I think I already knew...

...that you are everything I could possibly want. 

There's not much truer than that either...

You know you're absolutely gone when you can listen to someone for hours on end and never get bored, no matter what is is you're both talking about...

I'm pretty sure I'll never need to look any further than you.

And I'm quite grateful for that... :)

Paperweight

Been up all night staring at you

Wondering what's on your mind

I've been this way with so many before

But this feels like the first time

You want the sunrise

Go back to bed

I want to make you laugh

Mess up my bed with me

Kick off the covers, I'm waiting

Every word you say

I think I should write down

Don't want to forget come daylight

Happy to lay here

Just happy to be here

I'm happy to know you

Play me a song

Your newest one

Please leave your taste on my tongue

Paperweight on my back

Cover me like a blanket

Mess up my bed with me

Kick off the covers, I'm waiting

Every word you say

I think I should write down

Don't want to forget come daylight

And no need to worry that's wasting time

And no need to wonder what's been on my mind

It's you

It's you

It's you

I give up

I let you win

You win

'Cause I'm not counting

You made it back

To sleep again

Wonder what you're dreaming

Say That You're Into Me

You promised me starry night skies

They just remind me of your shining bright eyes

I'm missing your voice at night time

This separation seems a sad crime

But don't don't don't think think I forgot you you you

Are are are oh so sweet I I I - I knew

If only you were here

Things would be more magical

If I was there

Right now would be more radical

You're so not near

I'm wishing I could place a call

And feel closer to you

The miles of air and road and land

That separate me from all my plans

We're havin' havin' havin' fun

But something something tells me I miss someone

I hope hope hope you didn't forget me

I couldn't forget you

The whole time

I always knew I knew

Say that you're into me

Let me know how it will be

If you don't know just say so

I'll wait til the perfect time

Think of all the perfect lines

I'll make sure if I let you know

We've got movies on our list to see

Things to do just you and me

Calls to make from here to there and back

We've got fun to have and days to spend

Stars to see or just pretend

At least for now just to keep things right on track

Two Weeks in Hawaii

You've got your airplane

And I've got the plain air of here

You're gone, I've gone insane

Oh when will you reappear?

I'm just some new kid

Who can't get his mind off of you

And I know that it's stupid

'Cause you've got Hawaii

And I've gotten no letters from you

I should stop whining

'Cause it's only been a day or two

I don't know what you did

But you got me to fall for you

And I know that it's stupid

Your family's rad and I

Wish that they were here today

But they're thousands and thousands of miles away

And I felt so bad when your mom

Caught us eating ice cream in your

Room at three in the morning

'Cause I'd hate for her

To not want me around her daughter

'Cause my heart stops every time

You've got polaroid

And you even know how to rhyme

I'd be overjoyed

If we could just hang out sometime

I don't know what you did

But you got me to fall for you

And I know that it's stupid

Your drawing's rad and I

Put it on my wall and I

Made sure it wouldn't fall 'cause if it did

My straw wrapper might tear

And there would be no knot and I would

Feel like I'd been shot right through the heart

And I'd fall apart but I'd remember how

My heart stops every time

You are so special

I just hope that we can be friends

I'll wait forever

But I guess that it all depends

On you and yours

So come on and dance with me

You are so special

I hope this makes you smile

And you might stay that way for awhile

'Cause you deserve every grin that you get

And you'll get them a lot from me

You are so special

I just hope that we can be friends

I'll wait forever

But I guess that it all depends

On you and yours

So come on and dance with me

You are so special

And my heart stops every time...

Vanilla Twilight

The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you

Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere

'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly

But I'll miss your arms around me

I'd send a postcard to you, dear

'Cause I wish you were here

I'll watch the night turn light blue

But it's not the same without you

Because it takes two to whisper quietly

The silence isn't so bad

'Til I look at my hands and feel sad

'Cause the spaces between my fingers

Are right where yours fit perfectly

I'll find repose in new ways

Thought I haven't slept in two days

'Cause cold nostalgia

Chills me to the bone

But drenched in vanilla twilight

I'll sit on the front porch all night

Waist-deep in though because

When I think of you I don't feel so alone

I don't feel so alone, I don't feel so alone

As many times as I blink

I'll think of you tonight

I'll think of you tonight

When violent eyes get brighter

And heavy wings grow lighter

I'll taste the sky and feel alive again

And I'll forget the world that I knew

But I swear I won't forget you

Oh, if my voice could reach

Back through the past

I'd whisper in your ear

Oh darling, I wish you were here

Talk About Jet Lag...

Well, I finally made it here, but I wasn't really herehere until recently. Jet lag will kill ya. I think I'm almost on a normal sleeping schedule, though not quite on a normal speaking schedule. 


First day I got here was a frackin' disaster. Had to walk over 30 minutes from Gare de Lyon just to get to the hotel. With all my luggage. Which weighed well over 40 pounds altogether. Maybe more. Plus it was hot. And there was a lot of freaking people on the street. Oh yeah, and I've never been here before. But it's all gravy. Because I made it alive. Even though I think some little gypsy girl tried to rob me on my way here. It's fine. 


Loving Paris. Just feel like I'm not experiencing it enough. I need to get out more. As usual. Not that I don't have a million pictures already. Although someone's trying to ruin that aspect of it already by nonstop commenting. Talk about annoying. I don't think that makes me an ingrate. 


Missing someone. A lot. Not sure I'm missed quite as much, but even a tiny bit is fine. But that's only because:

Duh.

Still need to visit:

-Notre Dame
-Le Sorbonne
-Pantheon
-Tour Eiffel
-Champs Elysees
-St. Denis
-Louvre
-Musee d'Orsay
-Les catacombes
-A million other things I'm sure...

Did I mention how much I'm loving Parisian doors?

ETA 3 days

 ~ Soon ~

Well, it could be 4 days, really. This whole timey wimey zoney thing is just confusing. Either way, in less than 3 days, I'll be on an airplane. Scary thought. Especially those packaged peanuts. I really hope they don't serve any of those. Choking hazard, if you ask me. Anyway, as usual, when it's last minute before something important, completely unprepared and things going crazy. My luggage literally weighs a ton, and the limit for a checked back is 50 pounds.

Checked baggage

Pay for your 1st and 2nd checked bags when you check in online or at the airport. All bag fees are non-refundable, per person and each way.

See. Oh well, now we'll just have to fly thestrals there or something. Plus my pedicure is ruined. Bob's growing on my forehead. And I still don't have a baby pig. 

 

 Who, I ask you, could say no to that face?

I still have to figure out where I'm going to go see... 

 

 

 I must see it, or I'll simply die.

Consumed with thoughts of you...

I see you in colors that don't exist...

• You make me want to talk in a language I don't speak...
• You're not perfect, and I know it. No one walking this earth's surface is, haha, but if it were up to me to define the meaning of it...it'd be you.
• I'd rather be with you...
• You're my most favorite thing to lose sleep over.
• I don't think you'll read this, but that's okay because I don't think I want you to know all this anyway.
• My least favorite thing is having to say goodbye to you.
• Every word you say, I think I should write down.
• I love everything that you do, even if I would hate it if someone else did it...
• I'm pretty sure I'm going to miss you more than I'm going to miss everyone else, even if you won't miss me half as much.
• When I'm with you, I wish the world would slow down the way it seems to during class.
• I have a ton of letters I've written you that I never plan on giving you.
• I write the loveliest things about/to you.
• Yours is my favorite smile.
• And you're the one I want to marry...

Spring Break Day #3 (sort of)

It's All About Point of View

If you click the link, you'll read about the absolutely true, primary differences between men and women...

LMAO

Too true.

Spring Break Day #2 (technically)

I'm going there this summer. Well, not just there.

To be exact:

I kinda, sorta, most definitely can't wait. 

For a month...

That'd be me after a day.

And I'd start singing songs like this:

But I'd get to be seeing things like this:

And this:

So maybe it wouldn't be so bad...

As long as I wouldn't have to go too long without...

Because that's always the hardest part about traveling.

What Would Jojo Do?

That's a good question. What would Jojo do? About what, you might ask. Well, about everything. And that's what this blog is going to be about. And also mostly for me to save Stumble websites. =)
