Dream, Outside, He's a Mystery, You Know, I love him, I love him not
Dream
The night is gone
as I open my eyes
The sun shining bright
Escaping inside

But reality is far-fetched
as I lay in my bed
Thoughts all mixed up --
a jumble in my head

It still lingers in the air
though insane and mixed up
A dream impatiently waiting
to be figured out
-May 23/97


Outside
Being on the outside
Staring at myself
What was I doing
Was it really me
I’m looking in to see the truth
Yet all I find is questions
How could I do it
And why did I agree
I know it wasn’t really me
Just a free spirit
Waiting to get out
The shock is still there
Though many hours after
I search to find an answer
Repeating all the "if"s
What if I did this
And if I didn’t do that
Would it make a difference
All I know now
is that it feels right
Waiting for the phonecall
I know will never come

He’s a Mystery
He’s a mystery;
Nothing but a dream
I wish it was true
That he’s not what he seems.

He’s a mystery;
So sweet and tempting
It’s so black and white
The way that he’s acting.

He’s a mystery;
Something unknown
A whole new adventure
That won’t fit a mold

You Know
You know you’d make me cry if you said it --
so talk.
You know you’d once find forgiveness --
so ask.
You know you’d tear me apart if you wept --
so do.
You know you’d break my heart if you left --
so go.

I love him, I love him not
I love him, I love him not
The thoughts race through my mind
Almost lost in the early summer breeze
As I drop the daisy petals on the ground

I love him, I love him not
They both sound so right
Just a little word to change everything
These past 10 months and my heart

I love him, I love him not
On this I can’t decide
It’s so hard to let it go
Yet it’s emptiness, not love that I hide

I love him, I love him not
The last white petal has dropped
Flown away in the early summer breeze
Along with my love that once was strong
-May 31/97
