It's Not Always Rainbows And Butterflies, It's Compromise That Moves Us Along

It's not always rainbows and butterflies, it's compromise that moves us along

She will be loved by Maroon 5, 2004

“The reason we all like to think so well of others is that we are all afraid for ourselves. The basis of optimism is sheer terror. We think that we are generous because we credit our neighbour with the possession of those virtues that are likely to be a benefit to us. We praise the banker that we may overdraw our account, and find good qualities in the highwayman in the hope that he may spare our pockets. I mean everything that I have said. I have the greatest contempt for optimism.”

The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde.

That day she sauntered into my head

the day something I couldn't put my hand on changed

something euphoric

alluring

something I thought I needed so bad that putting every effort to locate meant nothing

it counted as an exit

an escape to the neverland

a firework on a day that isn't 4th of July

but a bliss doesn't prepare you for the consequences

the quarrels rippling through your head at night is what dignifies the shame of reality

it's what puts existence to use

lights dimmer and travel south,

haze crowns your fate,

abiding the scent of her..

"They haven't invented words for that yet"

: the one time you discover a new sense you never thought existed through a person that never did.

“they say it's always in the words

but they're lost

just like you are, between those lines

minutes, hours, days, weeks, and through to decades of longing for

the one thing that no more belongs

blindly aching to elicit

a lifetime of rewind

even time ceased to keep you in, how could my mind ever do?”

-Row-

maybe I only ever loved the idea of you

and maybe I chose to refrain from the fact that you're only how I wanted you to be

One of the assignments that has nothing to do with my major but I absolutely enjoyed doing it.
