sometimes you're not allowed
to touch the ones you love
sometimes you can't find
the ones you are looking for
sometimes it hurts so much
to know you're left behind
sometimes is never always
never isn't ever forever

I want a hundred and one things
scratch that, I want everything
The only thing I don't know how
to do is enchant the one I need
watch as I deny myself
and lose all sense of self-worth
because of time left unspoken
a spot of darkness will expand
until I have nothing left to expect
or the urge to experience again

I pray someone comes along
to show you how deserving
your kitty cat soul has always been
I've been a fool too often to try again
never saying or finding the right things
the universe expands around us
urging me to fly into the void
my blistered hands burn into nothingness
I must not need a singularity
If I cannot hold the fire

sometimes you're not allowed
to touch the ones you love
sometimes you can't find
the ones you are looking for
sometimes it hurts so much
to know you're left behind
sometimes is never always
never isn't ever forever

Will I ever be free
Since these feelings
last for eternity

will we ever go home
or must we carry the weight
of our destiny

If I stand up tall
will that inspire me
to fight for my rights

when I find I've been chasing pain
then I'll know to look for peace
the darkness of all these words
will pale in comparison
to the warmth of a new comforter
that was treated to repel stains
and cuddling down to bed
would never keep me from sleep

believe me, I believe in you!

I will walk through the sagging,
heavy, lethargic coeur
I'll be able to assess the damages
and figure out what is needed where
i'll call in the construction crew
to put it all back together
if any rocks fall on me in my excavation
this hard hat's got me covered

I'll be ready for the when
the handcart goes out of control
i'll hold on for dear life
when I see the track falling away
and as time slows dramatically
I'll have to believe I'll land it
or else I'll never come crashing
down safely on the other side

One day I'll be able
to touch the one I can
one day I will see
what this was meant to be
one day I'll be immune
to being alone
someday you will smile
from a place deep inside
One day you'll be able
to grasp the one you need
one day you will see
how hard we had to be
to assure the brightness
of length and time
someday I'll rejoice
in a love withstanding

So today we should allow
the ones who love to touch
go looking for the people
you have been searching to find
leave the hurt sitting in the road
behind, in your dust
because never is an poor excuse
keeping us from happily ever after
