If I had everything I wanted 
Would I have it all? 

But what do you want in life? 
Not me 
Not him 
Not her 

What do you want? 

the wooden floorboards creaked from the weight, a circle on the floor like we were kindergarteners once again. never missed the 'get to know you circles' . 

Goodnight, I love you 

then I put you outside of my bedroom door

If only I had known you were leaving my world 

Would I have let you stay to claw up my headboard 

I wanted to stay there forever

Under that tree with you.

I wanted to lie there

Live beneath the sky's blue.

I wanted to look at the constellations at night

And name the clouds' shapes in the daytime.

I don't believe in love at first sight.

I don't believe in miracles

That happen overnight.

I don't believe in princes

With perfect hair and smiles

And I don't believe in fairy godmothers
