Finding solace in my solitude of days that I want to end 

I tell myself that life is beautiful but often it’s all pretend 

The man that’s in the mirror he appears to be my only friend 

He can hold a conversation but his voice is only in my head 

I find that my imagination is alive but my dreams are dead

Or maybe I’m just overthinking all the things that should be left unsaid  

Chapters of stories that forever will be left unread 

Dreams are meant for sleeping so I’ll put this mess to bed 


And maybe life is directing me in the direction of what’s meant to be 

The day that you eat the fruit is not the same day you plant the seed 

I know exactly what I want in life, 
But Im overlooking what I need 

But I appreciate every little message that is sent to me 

I compare my path to others and I feel like I’m way behind 


There is a light at the end of the tunnel but it is hard to find 


Walking down the street 



On the night we met you were wearing your cowgirl hat 

I handed you tequila, took a pull then you handed it back

The first time that I heard your laugh in the back seat where we sat 
Thinking to myself I’ve never met a girl like that 

Everything is temporary anything can be missed

We shared a moment in the evening
By the morning it won’t exist

Then you had to leave and I’ve been counting shooting stars ever since 

And asking for just another day with you is my only wish 

And maybe when the time is right,
 we can try again

I don’t know what is meant for me or where I will be in the end 

But I will hold onto the dream of 
More time that we can spend

And as for now I will be my only friend

lua (only friend)
