From: Me, To: You

As much fun as it is to be falling
I'd rather catch the edge
and throw myself off
to spread my wings
before someone else crashes

And if assuring yourself
causes so much damage
then sweetheart we
have some work to do
I'll meet you on the ground

I see that there is a need for play
but there's no need to act
in the end no one cares how
But they like the stories when
the lessons are heart warming

Don't stress out so much
We will fix this mess
if anyone ever notices
we can blame it on something
entirely different but believable

A dog's a good pet to have
who lives only for you
Friends are better
A live organic social network
Will do you wonders

Now its time for me to shut up
and get my annoying ass home
"Cause they don't like
"my kind" 'round here
so I sit around and wait

What is "our kind" anyway?
wasn't I always a person?
doing my own thing
Where is the haven
within walking distance?

This little box is eerily quiet
And I am strange
I am nothing like anyone ever met
and yet they are all
individuals to me

I'll let the sleepers lay
While the four of us
play in the snow
so when they wake
they will not have heard my message

I will fill up
on joy and laughter
so when my love comes back
There will be a comfy
place to settle into

now I'd better cover my mouth
that must have been blasphemous
'cause love's a dirty word
and happiness is disturbing
and that makes me disgusting

so, you too huh?
that is reassuring
While we're waiting
would you like to talk
with something warm to drink

so some part of me is saying
Don't listen to them
They have no idea what's up
Just look up
and keep it moving

What's your story?
.
..
...
Wow, you're amazing

Can I ask you a serious question?
Where do we go now?
What am I supposed to do
This isn't working for me
I deserve something better

I can't believe I met you that way
It was so surreal
but it made perfect sense
So I'm cool with it
if you're ok with it

Now that you've found me here
Can we work this out
I am sick of doing this alone
And I know we can
lift one another up

so, Write me back
to let me know when we go
I'll be waiting on your reply
X O X O X O
Love, Me
