Shell

You're sitting in a restaurant looking around the room, wishing you had what is on everyone else's plate.

My darling.

Look down.

You've got a lobster dinner.

Lily

He treats you like such shit. He's got you wrapped around his finger and he knows it. Why does your backbone disappear when he's around? Why do you give him near explicit permission to treat you like dirt? Why do you push away those who treat you like you deserve to be treated to be with him?

Why do you push me away?

Wish Upon

You want only him but I am only me. I wish I was good enough for you.

Perspective

It's all about perspective, isn't it? Sometimes life isn't necessarily teaching us something, but giving us a new way to look at what we already know. As we approach the end of the first year, I can't help but reflect back on what perspective I've gained on my life. Perspective gives way to knowledge and knowledge spawns realizations.

We've been through lots in a year, you and I. We both learned, we laughed, we cried, we rode a roller coaster of emotion and splashed our friends with the aftermath. But if I could change it for anything, I wouldn't. Maybe parts here and there, but not the core. Not the essentials. Not you.

Our year is almost ending but that only means a new one is beginning. Here's to you. Thank you.

Consistent

Good morning, sunshine.

I love you.

Broken

I am.

Want

I'm here when you need me. When you want me.

You/Me

I don't need you to be happy or excited or playful for me to remember that I love you. You're my Hannah. How could I ever forget?

You are still the best thing that ever happened to me.

Fairytale

Why do we always leave a bad end on good talks? Can't we ever end a conversation smiling? Go throughout our day riding that high? Have that smile return every time we think of each other? Why do we always set ourselves up for misery?

Or maybe it's just me?

Friends

Do these people really know me this well or is my face a book to be read by everyone? If I don't know you as a friend, don't ask me, "What's wrong?" You really think I'm going to tell you?

Expected

Everyone just forget I'm here for a while. It makes everything easier. I'm tired of being a pain. I'm tired of being me.

Rage

There's nothing wrong with you.

Package

If you want to know the difference between him and I, I figured it out.

He loves you despite your flaws, I love you including them.
