on no boys (or booze)

I won't mistake you for problems with me.- Tegan and Sara (I Won't be Left)

I gave up booze, and boys.

I say, emphasizing the statement with a swig of bottled Fiji water.

You look at me skeptically.

Boys?

And booze,

I add.

So what instead?

You have a smile playing on your face.

Water,

I say.

And running.

Time to stop blaming you,

time to start changing me.

on tomorrow (today)

With every worthless word we get more far away, and nothing's ever promised tomorrow today, And nothing lasts forever but be honest babe, it hurts but it may be the only way.- Kanye West (Heard 'em Say)

_____________________________________________________________

One day, i'll walk away.

And I won't have said what I wanted to say, I won't tell you how much it hurts, and how I don't understand.

But one day- I'll walk away- and i'll be done,

Because you're the worst person for me to have in my life,

and you don't even know or get it.

on different (but not really)

Look me in the eye and tell me you don't find me attractive, look me in the heart and tell me you won't go. Look me in the eye and promise no love is like our love, look me in the heart and unbreak broken, it won't happen.- Tegan and Sara (Where Does the Good Go?)

It can be so different,

he says.

I look him in the eyes, wishing I knew what he was thinking-

I've never felt as exposed as I do to him.

It's the same curly hair,

he tells me, as he reaches out, touching my hair.

the same eyes. But its completely different, because its a different context. It's like you see someone in a whole new light. Do you know what I mean?

I simply nod back,

though I think:

You're always the same to me.

And there in we find the problem that exists:

I am two different people to him,

But he's always just him to me.

And i'm always just another girl to him.
