Dwindling.



when you told me that you liked me
burn, burn, i burned into the ground
i asked you, "where's your girl now?"
then you told me "california",
but i was thinking of us.
i asked you, "how can we be now?"

when i told you that i was leaving
burn, burn, you burned into the ground
you told me, "i want this even more now."
then you held me, said you loved me
but i know we were only friends
i told you, "goodbye until we meet again."
and we kissed without kissing,
touched softly, without touching
and we fell headfirst.

a phonecall was all it took to bring us together
with shaking hands, you touched me there
and i swear i could've stayed forever
but still, i said,
"its the last time, i'll be gone for good"
cause i fell headfirst,
and i don't kiss and tell.


i have been on a song-writing frenzy.
i was at americana on sunday, ran into somebody unexpected, his arms around her. i wasn't jealous. its just a bit weird. weird, thats all. but there were definite feelings between us at one time or another. and though those feelings have gone away over time, i can't help but miss it sometimes.


on a slightly heavier note, it hurts me to see you moping around in sadness, due to the carelessness and apthathy of a once-friend. i know you well enough to know that it is troublesome. i see it in your eyes everytime we speak. i hate seeing you silenced this way.

and if you're reading this, i hope you know that i care for you.
