made, wish I may and might.

tear

drop

dew

on grass and leaves,

when lying next to you —

unveiling heaven,

lucid sleep,

tints slumber

golden hues.

some nights, i'm fighting sound

the rhythm of lights

flickering behind those eyes

like flashing highbeams

on a lonely, open road

(Eve6 plays in the background)

you drift with oceans

forever reminding me

of crossing seas and

weathering storms

to lay next to you

(playlist shuffles to And It Stoned Me)

ah, yes, here we have

the space in between

dreams and yesterday

where sorrow goes to linger

while fingers find fountation

in everything lost and gained

within this bare breasted breath

(Stones swoon You Can’t Always Get What You Want)

lying, next to You

I am weak

Always surrendering at the first opportunity

To be near you

To be close to you

To be beside you

I can’t get enough

I can’t get enough

I'm lying here next to you

and it feels like heaven,

but I'm worried it's all just a lie.

Are you lying when you tell me you love me?

Am I lying when I agree we're better off just as friends?

Will we ever admit our feelings, or will our fear of the truth never end?

I remember lying next to you. It was a picture-perfect sunny morning. A few clouds, but it felt like we had all the time in the world. Looking up, trying to blink though the rays. You rolled over onto your stomach, smiling, and we locked eyes. And I remember.

You were so beautiful.

Drop dead gorgeous. With your airy laugh and soft hands, mischeivious eyes and drive like no one else, gosh, I could kiss you.

I could kiss you.

That thought hit me like a train. I could just sit up a little, and kiss you. Or pull you down to me and kiss you. As simple as that. And its such a free, casual thought. It came naturally. Just like how yesterday I thought maybe I could hold you hand infront of everyone in class. Or give you a bunch of red hearts, including the one in my chest. Or call you mine, and be yours.

I realized then, I was falling for you. We were lying on the field, on the ground, and I was still falling.

Laying next to you

The simplest kind of peace

because their fingers are weaven together

Their pulses beat together

As two halves of the same whole

and their problems are locked outside the bedroom door

Laying below their bodies

Is their two dogs and lucky-to-be-alive hamster

still in his protective ball

All are asleep

and one dog runs in place as he dream

He’s running, but going nowhere

because why would he

Everything is perfect

And she almost doesn't want to ever fall asleep

because she knows when she wakes

She’ve have to go

Leave you laying alone in their bed

You promised to stay by my side. To protect me from everything, even myself and my broken thoughts. The blades in my room and the insults in my head. The world outside and inside. You always stayed next to me. We were lovers once.

I believed you.

So why did you break me by lying? Why did you tell me you'd protect me if you were just going to die? You promised and you died. You died for me. You lived for me. You loved me. And I loved you back. With everything I had. I was so stupid to believe you, when you said to always be by my side.

But you lied.

what would it be like to

have you

lying next to me

nothing could be

better.

lying next to her

all else will fade

all that weighed

me down will go away

we don't even have to say

anything

because lying

next to you

is a dream come true

She’s lying, telling him things he does not believe.

But he knows, she doesn’t like lying next to him.

Her heart and mind are far away

...from him and with him.

She’d rather be lying

in his arms telling him the truth.

Tonight's the night,

when you are mine.

No one to share you with,

Nothing on our minds.

Lying here next to you,

brings me clarity like no other.

You give me hope.

Just the thought of losing you makes me shudder.

I don't it ever to end.

Say you'll never leave me.

Lying next to you,

fits me like a tee.

Hush my dear.

Don't say a word.

Just being here with me,

is enough to make me sing like a bird.

Forget the world.

Forget our sorrows.

Just lie here,

with me until tomorrow.
