Confusion

If you told me how you felt every day...
I'd be unsettled...
If you didn't hide from what scares you...
I'd be unsettled...
If you didn't listen to every voice to come across your ears...
I'd be unsettled...

You have your flaws...
I have mine...

If I hid my thoughts and feelings every day...
You'd be unsettled...
If I didn't always tell you what scares me...
You'd be unsettled...
If I didn't defy everything I've ever been told...
You'd be unsettled...

I have my flaws...
You have yours...

If you weren't who you are,
I wouldn't want you...

If I wasn't who I am,
You wouldn't want me...

A princess...
A hopeless romantic...

Fearful...
Fearless...

Young and confused...
Mature and steadfast...

Hot,
Cold,

Ying,
Yang,

Balanced...
Balanced...

Two flawed individuals,
One solid foundation.

It was unfinished being built,
It is unfinished in it's undoing.

It is perfect,
It is flawed.

It was us,
It is us,
It could be us.

Perfectly imperfect...

How long must I wait...

The phone rings,
and I jump...
It's not the sound that beckons to me,
It's not you...
Yet I still get antsy,
Excited,
Heart races,
Then slows to sluggish...

How long must I wait?

It's not about current silence,
I've the patience equipped,
It's not today, or tomorrow,
It's the bigger picture...
For you to see it...
See me...
Beyond the few flaws...
To grow...

How long must I wait?

I can't be perfect,
but I can be for you...
to show you a near perfect life...
Nothing more to promise,
Nothing more than everything,
Not a lifetime...
Just a life...

How long must I wait?

To shed the confusion,
To get past the doubt,
To open it up,
Press the gas,
Ditch the brake,
Use the clutch,
Shift to 5...

How long must I wait?

Time ticks,
Like a metronome of life,
Tick
Tick
Tick
The sound numbs my mind,
Working on my soul,
My heart unfazed,
The rest screaming...

How long must I wait?

Tick
Tick
Tick
My heart laughs,
Yelling with indignation,
It doesn't matter
Tick
I don't care
Tick
I won't relent
Tick

How long must I wait?

Tick
Tick
Tick
I'm still here
Beat
Tick
Beat
Tick
My heart plays to the same rhythm,
playing a song...
a song titled...

How long must I wait?

Getting to the chorus,
Getting to the second verse,
Suddenly the mind screams out loud
Encore!!
Tick
Beat
Tick
Beat
Time passes, to the beat of this song

How long must I wait?

In the excitement,
In the music,
The mind hears the answer
The soul reverberates

How long must I wait?

It all seems so clear now,
How could they not agree?

How long must I wait?

The answer is this:
As long as I have to

I must wait

because the song isn't finished,
It is stuck in its chorus,
It needs an ending,
Happy
Melodious
The tune that sings

How long must I wait?

Baby we're here

Baby we're here but we don't know why,
There's been days so long..
So tough...
We've admittedly cried,

We've been here together,
We've been here apart,
We're here now together,
So where do we start?

The past is the past,
The future be what it may,

There's nothing to predict,
Though we may try,
It only becomes habit,
To ask why not, or why

You'll live your way,
I'll live mine,
There's zero doubt,
We'll both end up fine,

Whether we take a shot,
Or whether we run,
What lives inside of us,
Will never be done.

Can we be stronger?
Can we be brave?
Can we stand above it all?
No longer be slave?

To all that we're told...
To all that is said...
To all that there was...
That that "this" is dead...

Some things have changed,
And others have not,
We could focus on what we haven't,
But should see what we've got...

Hearts skipping beats,
Smiles running amok,
Fun isn't lacking,
Together we've luck.

So be unafraid,
at the feelings we feel,
Cuz baby we're here,
Those feelings are real.

The shades of pink...

There's many shades of the color pink...
These shades are various...
These shades make me think...

They show me all that i've ever seen...
They show me all that i've ever known...
They explain my inert feelings...
Exemplify everything you've ever shown...

From fuchsia...to rose
From ruby...to fandango

The classic pink...is what every person sees...
Classic...
Original...
Plain as can be...it is the side you show the world

Amaranth...is so bold...
Vibrant...
Warm...
It is as unique as pink gets... it is your side that is rare to EVERYone

Magenta...is commonly heard of...
Bright...
Popping...
It is common yet obscure... it is your side that I get to see

There are many shades of the color pink...
They make their own rainbow...
Pink is your favorite...

You...
You are mine...
