It only took seven seconds to notice your presence,It only took seven seconds for our eyes to meet,It only took seven seconds for my heart to decide,It only took seven seconds for my mind to question,
Oh what a web we weave, when we are in belief.
Whether it be a happy home, or a good poem, don't forget... you'll always be alone.
Don't cry, laugh.
Don't go home, just stay at work and make cash.
Dear Jarod,
You were something toxic
So much more than just average
The way you smiled
Felt like something of privilege
I sat down next to you in class
And you said hello.
I gave you my number
And you said you'd text me soon.
I became your friend
And you said that was enough.
I laughed at jokes that weren't funny
When you're young, you're naive
You think about love
You dream about love
But you don't know love
I thought I knew love
I was wrong
You'd tell me
I am not her
I do not have the effortless waves that fall below her shoulders
The works of art created that exceeds any previously set expectations
The good grades
Top athlete awards
Perfect social status
"You're not a parasite", I try to convince myself
However, this facade will not work forever.
I become too attached to people
Slowly I start living off that person like a host
I am bothersome; I am selfish.
Because I love you
This is a phrase
That will live on this earth for the rest of my days
Driving, thriving, surviving forward
