A Little More

There’s some things you just can’t change.
There’s some things you just shouldn’t do.
But there’s nothing stopping me from getting closer to you.
Haven’t you ever wondered why I keep coming back for more, even when you tell me that you’re not sure?
I know how I feel about you, now it’s your turn to feel for me.

Late Nights (Cologne)

I could give you something to smile about.
Years from now when you’ve settled down with the next best thing, I’m what you’ll be daydreaming about.
I won’t keep you waiting, no hesitation on my part as I part your red seas while you say “Oh my God”.
With just a touch you’re already breaking down.
Its not what’s being said that’s turning you inside out, its how it flows out of me that’s got you running wet.

The Young Love Property

Our love is too young to know what a conscience is.
We want what we want, everything else is but an afterthought.
We are blind at times because we choose to be.
I don’t want to see the things you do when I’m not around because I do not own you, you are still your own person.
You always get what you asked for, I asked to be broken and I’m beginning to crack with no one to confide in now.
We crawl so we can learn to walk again, its a sick cycle.

For what its worth I’m not even mad.
We should not be defined by our intentions but by our actions.
You told me what I didn’t ask to know, so I told you what you didn’t expect to hear.
It is what it is, now we just have to decide where we go from here.
No pressure, no loss.

Beneath the layers of black I’m burning red, with passion, with anger, and with a light that still remains unseen.
Was it by choice or circumstance that we ended up this way?
Save your strength, let me know when you’ve come to your senses.
Why does it always seem that somebody falls in love with you when you’re ready to give your heart away?

Give me a break, give me a reason to believe in.
You can save me from myself, but there is something that I must confess tonight, and that is that I expect nothing from you.
Alone I have nothing, but with you what do I have to hold?
Some wrinkles can’t be ironed away, in the same vein that some stains can’t be removed, but let’s not worry about those things.
I won’t speak of day old hate.

I’d like to think that I’m the only one with access to the high rises of you mind, all the way down past the ground level to the basement where your passion resides.
I want to get you so excited that you jump up and down without worry because you’re fully supported.
I just want to believe that I mean something to you.
All I want is you, although the pain it costs has me at a loss.
You’re the reason I’m waiting.
I’m waiting for a reason and you’re the only hindrance that I know.
I’ve got nothing else and I wouldn’t change a thing.
My heart beats bolder, not colder because of you.

Friend Taste Testing (Dating Friends)

Image via Wikipedia

Most of us belong to a large circle of friends that we have known for years. Few of us have more than a few groups of friends (your date knows what I am talking about). I wanted to touch on the girl and guy friends that you hang out with every weekend,  your date/friend that you know everything about and that knows what is going on in your life as if they were linked to your Facebook/Twitter status updates.

Why do we limit ourselves to dating within our own circle of friends? Myself and few others excluded, think that every one of my friends have hooked up with each other at some point in time. Once you’ve been a part of the same circle of friends for a number of years, the act of dating within your group elevates itself to this “creepy” level of “incest” or “friend-cest” instead of actual dating. I call this phenomenon “OTH (One Tree Hill) Syndrome”, because as anyone who has watched that show for more than 2 seasons can tell you, EVERYONE within the main group of characters has dated or hooked up with one another at some point. It’s like six degrees of separation but with faces and names that you can actually remember since you see them all the time.

I have a girl friend or two that seems to continuously date every single guy in our group, jumping from one to the other as if it were a taste test. This behavior is not limited to the females only; my guy friends enjoy dipping in the cookie jar too. Now I’m not saying that dating within your group of friends is wrong or weird, because I get that these people are your friends because there’s an attraction to them on some level. I’m just wondering why some people keep dipping into the same well until it’s dried up?

Any questions or comments?
