always listening to your secondhand serenades

Hey friend..

I hope next year is better without me

If you're still listening..

I'll never forget the first and only time you gave me three words-it was over text and I shouldn't have read it.

If you're still listening..

She makes a great best friend, I know because she's been one of mine

If you ask her to be more..

Experience says she's going to tell you no, and so will I, I'm sorry I'm not willing to be plan b....

If you're still listening..

Im tired of secondhand serenades and they never sounded right slipping from untouchable lips

If you're still listening..

Show me I'm wrong and maybe I'll stay but you should have told me to go before it got this far..

If you're still listening..

I'm sorry I'm not who I thought I was--a boy took that away long ago and I guess I never got it back

And if you're still listening.. I'm still breathing

Thanks for everything

inspiration in their moments

let's turn the music up a little louder and drive a little slower and forget about college and tests and waking up in the morning because God gave us this one night

So when you look at your tattoos and remember a few years beforeWhen you want to relive the childhood adventuresI'll be waiting on the top of our middle school with a pair of warm clothes and a magic eraser to clean you up

~Alice S. Blackwell

small talk will be a legend and we'll speak in piano concertos and poetry slams and painting

pound the chords to your melody it isn't hers anymore.

Just trust in my robust distrust for the common gust of willful Wind that can end someone's devotions and thought provoking emotions like how most of you look for love potions.

ABSTRACT IDENTITY

I honestly don't know what I'm saying

But my hands

and my heart

do.

don't let anyone tell you this wasn't worth it, they weren't there the night your soul came alive

~sam durrant

I can't stop myself from liking you even when I list out your flaws twice.

~Morgan

so I'll memorize the sound of my mother's voicetake pictures in my mind of my dad's chesire cat grinI'll never forget how it feels when my sister wraps her little arms around meor how my brother can always make me laughremember sleepovers in too small bedsremember concerts with your best friendsremember high school dances and cheap romancesand don't you dare forget how good it feels to live

~Sam Christine

It's tangible, it's not some feeling, it rocks your brain and crushes your bones

when my mind gets lost
it wanders back to you
and it never feels wrong
