Crush, You, I'm Afraid, Secrets, Fateful Day
Crush
I keep starin’ at you from far away
I don’t know why
You make my heart pound
When you’re around
There’s no future for us
It’s not in the cards
But there’s still hope
I won’t give up
-Nov/96


You
Everytime I think of you
My heart fills with hope
Even though I know it won’t
Happen for very long
You’re the light
that keeps me going
In ever single way
You give me will
To live through one more day
-Nov/96


I’m Afraid
I’m afraid of the sound of my voice
the words it says,
the sentence it forms
I’m afraid to hear the truth
of who I am
and who I’ll be

I’m afraid of starting over
leaving everything,
letting go
I’m afraid to take a risk
I’ll feel lost
and insecure

I’m afraid of other people
of their secrets,
of their nature
I’m afraid to get too close
I’ll lose them
and be alone
-Dec. 30/96 - Jan. 4/97


Secrets
Eyes on the window
Ears on the door
Why doesn't anyone
Tell me anymore?

A whisper here
A wink there
What are they hiding?
Why aren’t I there?

Meaningful nothings
Nothing in the meaning
Why had translation
Lost all its feeling?

Notes during classes
Phonecalls at night
What’s the commotion?
What’s it about?
-Jan. 13/97


Fateful Day
Everything turned upside down
That fall day we met
And today it all came back
To haunt me without end

I remember the day, the time
The place and the feelings
I’ll keep it in my mind
As long as I’m living

You appeared in my life
Like a sweet shadow at night
And ever so slowly became
As real as my broken heart
-Jan. 22/97
