“For Jen”
written on 1.9.12

i wanted to sing you a love song
but knew my notes would be out of tune
wanted to paint you the sun
to warm your life like you have mine
but i can’t draw a straight line
so i’ll give you a gift
not sure what it’s worth
but i’m giving my heart for the last time

i don’t care how long it takes
you are worth the wait
because every movie and every trait
that made tears run down my cheek
that made my heart feel weak
i see inside of you

i’m not smooth
in fact you make me shake
’cause i can see so much love inside of you
and i’ve learned enough to know
you’re too good but it’s true

i don’t care how long it takes
you are worth the wait
because every movie and every trait
would make me hate
a life without you by my side
’cause you’re the only one i’d date

“Breach”
written on 11.24.11

i’m almost 28 and i can’t stand this strife
i pictured my future wife
expected more out of my life
thought i would accomplish so much more
didn’t expect to have to guess at the door

all i want to feel free
but i’m not sure what that means to me
i can’t figure out who to be
it’s not in any book
or anywhere i seem to look

i feel trapped inside a cage
feel so much older than my age
if i ever want to find the key
i need to find the happiness inside me
start dreaming of who i will be

i need someone who has heart
appreciates life and sees it as moving art
i love when you open up to me
that’s how we were meant to be
love as immovable as a tree

my smile is the key to my soul
happiness is not my only goal
i want to burn so bright
but sometimes it takes all my might
to try to be their light

i want to wrap myself in your love
fly free like a dove
i admire all the lives that you’ve reached
all the hearts that you’ve breached
but you still have so much more to teach

“Incomplete”
completed on 11.13.11

something’s moving inside me
tugging at my heart strings
i can feel you in the tear running down my cheek
you’re in the air that my lungs breathe
and the reason i’ve been feeling incomplete

you’re the books on the shelf just out of reach
you’re the change i leave under my seat
you’re the air i absent-mindedly breathe
you’re the first thing i take for granted
but you’re still reaching out to me

i always put myself first
it’s the most unhealthy relationship
i listen to all the wrong things
while you’re always supporting me
i’ve written off friends that speak to me
as rarely as i reach out to you
yet you haven’t given up on me

i know you’re always listening
so please accept my apology
let the world see your love through my smile
make me a better person
so i can be part of the change this world needs

“Rochester”
completed on 10.24.11

staring out my window
from a place i can finally call my home
the chill in the air
makes my heart race
makes me feel alive
i feel wrapped in hope
so much to make me smile and believe
things are starting to go my way

my things are packed
i’ve left that city and i’m not looking back
i’m counting down the miles
and i feel so much closer to my destiny

brand new town
but i won’t feel alone
because i have my family
i can see the opportunities
finally within my reach

no more detours
no more feeling unsafe
nothing but green lights
for me to find my way
i’ve got friends to make
and a career to create
nothing to hold me back
here’s to a new day
a new way
and a new outlook on life

“Emergency”
written on 10.24.11

red and white flickering in the moonlight
i need you like it’s an emergency
hear your voice like the sirens approaching me
without you i can feel my heart shutting down
i want to feel you circulate inside me
’cause i know you’re the drug keeping me alive

let your love trickle in from the IV
you’re a perfect match to what i need
breathe you in deep like oxygen
feel your support like a splint holding me in place
i put my faith in you to take me anywhere

feel your touch gently run across my skin
watch your breath make my lungs rise again
sense your heart making my pulse skip a beat
stunned by your kiss shocking me back to life

my signs and symptoms are all indicating
i’m better when i’m with you
without you i’m cold and catatonic
and you’re the only medication i need
’cause you’re the only thing that makes me feel alive

“Kate”
written 9.11.11

he stares at you
but only looks skin deep
he talks to you
like you’re his property
he holds your hand
but just to keep you within reach
he tells you he can do better
because he can’t comprehend the gem that he’s got

he likes you better wearing makeup
while i admire the sparkle in your eyes
he drools at the thought of you in a bikini
while i just want to see you smile
he cares more about what he gets
while i would do anything for you

the only thing i want from you
is for you to believe in yourself
the only thing i’ll take from you
is the joy you bring to my life
the only thing i’ll tell you
is i’m always here to cheer you up

i see your inner beauty
i watch the passion in your eyes
i look past what’s on the surface
’cause i care more what’s in your heart
i’ll be part of your foundation
’cause i want to build your self-esteem up

“The Best is Yet to Come”
completed on 7.20.11

i can’t get enough of your smile
and i can’t get enough of your laugh
i love when i look in your eyes
i see all that we could be

i picture our first date
the one where i stay up all night hoping
we’ll end up holding hands
and i dream of our first kiss
the same one i’ll feel when we’re dressed in all white
dancing throughout the night
i look forward to all the memories we’ll share together
to the life and laughter we’ll create with one another
that’s all i’ll ever need

my body is here
but i’m already mentally there
to the place where
i’m on your couch
sitting next to the one that i love
i don’t have you yet
that’s why the best is yet to come

i watch the joy in your eyes
as you see everything for the first time
i watch you take your first step
with my hands right by your side
i’ll tuck you in at night
kiss you and be your nightlight
you’ll grow up so fast
but you won’t ever have to ask
’cause i’ll always be there for you

my body is here
but i’m already mentally there
to the place where
i’m on our couch
sitting between the ones that  i love
i don’t have that yet
that’s why i know the best is yet to come

“Chase Your Dreams”
written on 7.14.11

another day begins and fades
you’ve watched the sun rise and fall once again
just to find another day feeling lost within
but one day you’ll wake up to a better life
where the pain of trying fades away

some days the hope in your dreams
is suffocated by the same old routine
the days seem to pass so slow
and you’re unsure of where to go
but one day you’ll wake up to a better life
and the ache of trying has faded away

you’ve sacrificed some things in the short term
to earn it all in the end
so chase your dreams ’til you’re exhausted
then get up and do it again
because one day you’ll wake to a better life
with the pain of trying faded away

“Three Smiles”
written on 6.24.11

you watch him slam the door
as your tears stream to the floor
you look back at a million warning signs
but you desperately want that fairy tale
he’s crushed your hope, stepped on your heart
but he’s the one who lost out

you deserve someone who wants both girls on his lap
who lights the candles twice so each one gets to blow them out
takes a mental picture every time he sees the three of you smile
proud of the life that he has

but you can always rely on me
remember there is so much life to live
and you have so much love left to give
turn up taylor’s fearless and believe that things will change
and if ever you need a sunrise
i’ll be there to brighten your day

because you deserve someone who wants both girls on his lap
kisses their knees every time that they fall
and dreams of the days when they’re tall
reads them just one more story ’til they’re finally asleep
proud of the love that he has
