Falling In Love At A Coffee Shop

"I think that possibly, maybe I'm falling for you. Yes, there's a chance that I've fallen quite hard over you..."

Velvet Ribbon

I would take my love, fragile and tender
and wrap it up in a velvet ribbon
And present it to you on a silver salver.

Open your eyes to me, see this passion boiling over
As clouds disrupt the ever moving sky.

Take heed of my smile, it masks deep feelings.
Look behind my eyes, they are pools of
disappointment in a tragedy of errors.

But you don't pass your gaze my way.
I am invisible to you.
You do not hear my words of confession.
I have presented my feelings, on a plate.
Given you the prize.

I gaze through the clouds at the deep red sky.
It reminds me of my journey.

Scurrying off down the spiral staircase
Skirts tripping me as I go
I crack my head on the concrete floorway
Spilling my grief, expelling my fears.

"Lumosflies"

The cutest parody I've found so far.
Raise your glasses; here's to fear of rejection and unrequited love. Let's keep playing the game till we win.

The slower we move the faster we die.

"How much does your life weigh? Imagine for a second that you're carrying a backpack. I want you to pack it with all the stuff that you have in your life... you start with the little things. The shelves, the drawers, the knickknacks, then you start adding larger stuff. Clothes, tabletop appliances, lamps, your TV... the backpack should be getting pretty heavy now. You go bigger. Your couch, your car, your home... I want you to stuff it all into that backpack. Now I want you to fill it with people. Start with casual acquaintances, friends of friends, folks around the office... and then you move into the people you trust with your most intimate secrets. Your brothers, your sisters, your children, your parents and finally your husband, your wife, your boyfriend, your girlfriend. You get them into that backpack, feel the weight of that bag. Make no mistake your relationships are the heaviest components in your life. All those negotiations and arguments and secrets, the compromises. The slower we move the faster we die. Make no mistake, moving is living. Some animals were meant to carry each other to live symbiotically over a lifetime. Star crossed lovers, monogamous swans. We are not swans. We are sharks." - Up In The Air

"Bang! Bang! We're beautiful dirty rich." Fuck, I miss my life back in Paris.
