its the being idle

and the waiting.
tom petty knew what he was singing about
and i am an american girl

go figure

some are more like the journey songs
and you.

you are like the moon

it's ok

my life won't fall apart
the gates slam too hard, but
you would never understand my optimism
it wouldn't make the world collapse,
i do love, perhaps, or
should i speak in more symbolism?

but really.
fuck it
you only live once

gotta stop...

binge-eating on butterflies
not hungry, for real food
had a hundred different tries
to attempt something new
standing in the living room
thinking of the economy
live alone again
hang with paper clips
prints we made last winter

darling

ride me on your handlebars
take me on the ferris wheel
drink coffee with me in the windowsill
i'm yours
i am

like tegan and sara

i can't get you out of my head...

i thought i had found the one that got away

and then i found you
and i worry
usually i've taken flight by now
i never stay and fight
and there is a past
i have mine
you have yours

but i found you.

my anxieties are mine
this is new
too sentimental
i know, i know
its hard
but its worth it
and i'd wait for you
change for me, grow for you

you don't go for waitresses,
well i'm in grad school now

I hope i'm the only moon in your orbit

i do love you

but why do i feel like i am trying too hard
every week i promise, i won't do things
and then i do
every day, i say i'll wait
then i make the first move
