as a matter of fact, I don't know what love is. but you know who taught me? yes, you. you taught me that love has ups & downs & that love is strong & thin. you taught me that love is no game & something real. something that you have to take care of, something that isn't worth any amount of money; something that can't be seen or felt. you taught me every single thing that I know about love.

i should try to run

but I just can’t seem to.

cause every time I run

you’re the one I run to

i never knew life could be like that.
he was the one thing i followed through with
in my life, the one thing i didn't give up on.
i was good at loving him

he was trying not to get too attached
so he wouldn't fall too hard, too fast.
But he realized that he fell a long time ago,
and now he's loving you with all he has

it's not supposed to always make sense,

because love isn't made to be predictable

there's been a lot of ups and downs,
but ultimately, at the end of the day,
that's what makes you who you are.
we all know how laugh, we all know how to cry
and we all know how to love
we all know heartbreak but the world keeps moving
and we keep moving along with it
and everything we experience makes us realize
how beautiful life truly is

i guess you're proof that when you finally

let go of the past, something better comes along.

when we first met, I didn't want to get involved with anyone.

i didn't have the time or energy & I wasn't sure that I was ready for it.

but you were so good to me & I got swept up in that &

little by little I found myself falling in love with you.

you can see that he thinks about her,
but he doesn't make a move.
he thinks she's too beautiful for him,
& she thinks he's too amazing for her

She looks at him & remembers all the
nights on the phone, all the silly pranks;
everything about him drives her wild,
& she can't get control.

there's no good reason for giving up,

and all this mess is just bad luck.

so please don't lose your confidence in me.

& she lies in the grass staring up at the
sky wondering what happend to her life.

go ahead and tell me my dreams are unrealistic,

and i'll tell you that yours arent big enough.

you give anything for it.
sometimes you give everything.
but sometimes it's just not enough.

i never knew life could be like that.
he was the one thing i followed through with
in my life, the one thing i didn't give up on.
i was good at loving him.

whenever we're together everyones always saying
" those kids are meant for eachother"

she really does need you.
she may not be the first one to
admit it, but deep down she
just can't live without you.

i think we're doing just fine.
this night couldn't have come
at a better time.
you need me right now,
i'm starting to think I need you too

this doesn't need to be the end.

When he holds me close,
&& I can hear his heartbeat,
&& kiss his lips, I realize,
this is where I want to be,
&& this is how I always want to feel

we sat in your car,
on that cold fall night.
talking about how much
things have changed
and how we lost ourselves in the mess

She looks at him & remembers all the
nights on the phone, all the silly pranks;
everything about him drives her wild,
& she can't get control.

It’s okay to need eachother

you know what i think hurts the most?

the feeling of being replaced.

it’s like no matter what you did, it wasn't enough

he kissed the back of her neck.

he knew, even at seventeen,

that he never wanted to leave her side

when you start thinking about him

& how he makes you laugh

& how he makes you feel when your around him

you realize that you care about him

more than you thought you did

excuse me while I fall apart

it's okay to need each other.
that's what makes us strong ;
that's what makes us human

there's just something about him

that made me like him

ever since the day I met him
there was something about him that made
me go absolutely crazy for him.

to see the real person beyond their looks is the greatest gift you can have.

you see people for who they are, not what they pretend to be.

you understand them when they're not meant to be understandable.

to know the real them with no judgment is to

reach out with open arms and an open heart
