We Will Become Sillhouettes

Something that continues to baffle me is love. I believe and know love is something that cannot be stopped. However, I've learned that I am good for talking myself out of things. Purchasing an expensive pair of sunglasses, doing an assignment due in a week, and more importantly, I feel as though I've talked myself out of love recently. It's not that it wasn't strong enough. But I think that I am too much of a romantic with too much insight for reason... Therefore, I made my heart believe being in love was not enough. Although I know this untrue, it helps me sleep at night. I am independent and self-sufficient. I can't help it. It's the way I'm wired. I want a love like heaven.

I know love is real.
I know I have seen love.
I will wait for love.
And until then... I will love myself.

I am happy.




The glove compartment is inaccurately named
And everybody knows it
So I'm proposing a swift orderly change


'Cause behind its door there's nothing to keep my fingers warm
And all I find are souvenirs from better times
Before the gleam of your tail lights fading east
To find yourself a better life.


I was searching for some legal document
As the rain beat down on the hood
When I stumbled upon pictures I tried to forget
And that's how this idea was drilled into my head
'Cause it's too important
To stay the way it's been


But there's no blame for how our love did slowly fade,
And now that it's gone, it's like it wasn't there at all
And here I rest where disappointment and regret collide
Lying awake at night

And there's no blame for how our love did slowly fade
And now that it's gone, it's like it wasn't there at all
And here I rest where disappointment and regret collide
Lying awake at night, up all night
When I'm lying awake at night
