i wannt ! ♥ 9:00 PM

Citrine looks exactly like what it sounds like — bright, vibrant yellow! And topaz comes in more colors than you can imagine. Topaz used to be very popular in engagement rings, too, since it symbolizes love and affection.
I want my engagement ring to have my birth stone in it :$

Day ten ♥ 10:42 AM

Day Ten, final day ;
One confession.

I want to loose weight. And starting tomorrow, I'm going to do whatever it takes... again.

Day nine ♥ 10:32 AM

Day Nine ;
Two smileys that describe your life right now.

One ;
Well the first one would have to be..
-__-
That to me, is the bored face. Because it's getting boring around here.

And two ;
:)
Smiley face because life is to short to be sad, I try to be happy all the time.

Saturday, August 28, 2010 ♥
Day eight ♥ 10:40 PM

Day Eight ;
Three turn ons.

One ; If you smell good. Oh man, if you smell like the inside of Hollister.. I think I will love you from then on. Plus, keep hugging you 24/7.

Two ;
Nice teeth. I love guys who smile, and when you have nice teeth.. it makes it even better.

Three ; Good style and how clean they are.  Wearing nice clean clothes, with a bit of fashion sense added to it.. is a way to grab my attention for sure. If you wear the same shirt, three days in a row.. I'll take you to the laundry mat.

Day seven ♥ 10:37 PM

Day Seven ;
Four turn offs.

One ;
Bad skin.  Honestly, a few pimples here and there on your face are okay. But, not if you look like a cherry blaster. Use Clean N' Clear !

Two ;
If you smell.  If you smell, oh boy do not even come near me. I HATE when people smell bad. That's why I carry mini body spray everywhere. I smell good, so you should to.

Three ;
If you wear eyeliner. Really now? For your birthday, would you want me to get you an Avon magazine? Grow a pair, and wash that shit off.

Four ;
Being disrespectful. I'm young, and I know I can get out of hand at times. But I'm respectful to everyone. It's called being mature.

Day six ♥ 10:23 PM

Day six ;
Five people who mean a lot to you in NO order at all.

My first lovely bestfriend ;
Briyanna Lawes <3
It's been almost 12 years that this lovely laddie and me have been best friends.  I know for a fact, we'll be in our 20's, going to clubs and living together, then in our 40's babysitting each others kids, then in our 70's chasing each other and throwing our false teeth at one another LOL. This girl, legit means the world to me, and then some. I'm more open with her, then with anyone on this planet. We tell each other everything, and we don't tell anyone else. I can always go to her, with the stupidest shit like having a hole in my sock, to period cramps. She's my soul sister, because god knew I had to have a bit of black in my life. Best friends/sisters/wifeys, for ever and ever


Second ;
Aaron Dalley <3
When it comes down to it, I love this guy. No matter what. Even though we fight like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, we always make up. Because I can't see me living my life, without him. He's been there, for me to rant to him, to cry on his shoulder and to take care of me when I'm drunk. I remember when he first told me he was moving, I was completely heartbroken. I really felt I would loose one of my bestfriends, but I didn't. We kept strong, and in my mind.. got stronger. I love him, with all my heart and soul. And when we're old enough, we're driving randomly, without a map. He's my brother, my Jew, and my main man <3 12 years, and going strong.

Third ;
Monica Fantini <3
No matter what it is that we do, I always have a blast with her. She makes me so happy, it's insane. I can go to her, for anything at all. And she's one of the few people I trust with my life. I'd be there in a heart beat for her, with flowers.. just to cheer her up. Shes my concert buddy aha. And even though we've only been friends for a short while now, I feel like I've known this girl for my whole life. She knows more about me, then anyone in this world.. and that's a fact. She's my treasure chest, with the lock and key. She's beautiful, and has been through hell.. that's why she's my inspiration, my idol. Being with her puts a smile on my face. And the voices she does, ho ho buddy don't get me started.
I hope to be friends with this girl for my whole life, deal ? <3

Fourth ;
Joshua Pereira <3
We met in gym class, and then everything went down hill from there.. LOL I'm joking. I have to talk to you everyday, or else I'm lonely. I'll always be there for you, and I'm pretty sure you'll be there for me too.. and that's why I love about you. We're like twins I swear.. we get along so great. I love you to death puffy head. I can tell you anything and everything, even the stupid shit that should be kept to myself.. and yet you don't care, you still talk to me.. and I love that about you. We're growing old together, yes Josh we are.. I don't care what you say, you're stuck with me. Beat me sideways? fuck you, I'll be you with a spoon <3

Fifth ;
Max Gaylord <3
You're my half cousin..but I love you like my brother / best friend. You're always there to hang out, at thee stupidest times no matter what. You're so protective of me, it gets annoying.. but I know it's for the best. I hope to find a man, just like you to marry when I'm older aha I'm not even lying.  You're my guru, and I know for a fact I can always come to you when I need help and it always works. You're so humble and wise, you're like a old wizard. And you're the only guy I know who will hold my hair back when I'm puking, disgusting and true. Max, over all.. you better not leave my life. I'd be lost without you. I love you, to hell and back <3

THE EX ♥ 9:29 PM

Well today me and Briyanna went to the CNE. It was amazingly fun. But I always have fun with this girl anyway lmfao. We didn't go on any rides, but that's what Wonderland is for anyway.  I wont free Tiny Tom donuts; oh they're soo good! And a candy apple too (:

day five ♥ 9:05 PM

Day Five ;
Six things you wish you've never done .

One ;
  well the first thing I wish I never did was start eating the way I do now again, I was on such a skinny role.. now I'm a fat donut.
Two ; Sneak off in March.. I have a sad feeling that if I didn't do that.. things would be better, in a good way.
Three ; I wish I never got into drugs. That's why I failed math, I always had to be high.. and it was stupid.
Four ; Lie to him. He meant the world to me, and I did such a cruel thing to him.
Five ; Cut my hair ! Fuck my life yo .
Six ; I wish I never quit my job, I could really use some money right now.

Why me ♥ 1:43 AM

When I was at my friends house not to long ago, her and her family (which is basically mine as well) were talking about my relationships. Now I know myself, I tend to attract weird clingy guys.. but when my friend said I remind her of the movie There's Something About Mary, I had to stop and think.
And I have come to my conclusion; maybe there is something. I've always been one to think of love is more of a game, a way to pass the time if you will. But it seems I always end up with the guys who should be secret spies. Wanting to know where I'm every moment of every day, and if I don't text them back right away they have to go and freak to my best friend. That's where I draw the line.  Am I one to attract the guys who would be the main show at the circus or is it just me seeing it.
I believe this is a sign, a cue from God that I need to lay off guys for a while. And I'm agreeing with it. I need to  focus on life, a life without the hassle of a relationship.

Tuesday, August 24, 2010 ♥
Day four ♥ 11:30 PM

Day Four ;
Seven things that cross your mind a lot.

One ;  Probably All Time Low Lyrics.. I'm usually singing that shit all day.
Two ; What am'I doing tomorrow?

Kay you know what, fuck this..
Nothing crosses my mind on a day to day basis, it's just the way it is..
I don't have seven things that cross my mind every day.
Stuff crosses my mind as it happens, or when it's about to happen.

Go. ♥ 9:47 PM

Get dirty. Get fucking filthy. Get poor. Get off your ass. Get desperate. Get dangerous. Get vilified. Get vile. Get romantic. Get fucked. Get fucked up. Get moving. Get productive. Get proactive. Get your own life. Get doing anything. Get it before you’re 40, with kids, a mortgage, and every other responsibility that relegates fun to an afterthought. Get going before cancer, before 50-hour work weeks, before body pains, before school loans, before your sense of humor goes. Get fighting. Get fighting, fucking, running and smiling. Get smiling because the older you become, the less you’ll smile at silly shit. Get started. Go.

I have to fucking start living life.

I want one! ♥ 9:15 PM

Corezone is a ceramic heart-shaped vessel that you can place your thoughts, feelings and emotions into. Write them down on pieces of paper and put them inside. You must then physically break your own heart to free them.
I want one.

Six types of lovers? ♥ 2:15 AM

They say there is six types of lovers;
Eros, Ludus, Storage, Agape, Mania and Pragma .

I think I'm more along the lines of Ludus.

LUDUS

. Believes childhood was "average." Has no complaints.
. Is not ready to commit to anyone in a love relationship
. Likes a variety of different physical types and can switch easily from one type to another
. Begins with a stranger who has physical appearance with the lover's wide range
. Goes on with life as usual after meeting beloved-does not fall in love; no intentions for future
. Avoids seeing partner too often
. May be anxious about the future with a partner who is too intense
. Expects partner to control her/himself and play the game for the mutual enjoyment
. Encourages other relationships
. Thinks love is not as important as work or some other activities

Heres to a new start. ♥ 1:40 AM

I fell apart, i was hanging by a thread and I'm coming back stronger. I was a fat broken down kid who needed to work harder, My ex's and old friends should have thought smarter, I'm feeling good and i just got started. Nothing can bring me down cause I'm tearing it up, so watch, sit back enjoy while I bring myself up.

Here's to a new me, starting now.


lolol ♥ 1:23 AM

I'm rare... Like Mr.Clean with some hair!

day threee ♥ 12:55 AM

Day Three ;
Eight ways to win your heart .

One ; Be intelligent. If you're not going to know that we'll have no waves in the water if the moon disappeared.. don't talk to me.
Two ; Don't try and do something sexual every time you see me. I love cuddling, hugging and stuff.. leave it at some days.
Three ; Funny and Humorous.   I love people who laugh, because I laugh 24/7.
Four ; Be kind to animals.  I love animals, if you love them.. I'll end up loving you.
Five ;  Spontaneous. You took me on a date to the park, that's really cute.. you did it again four days later.. that isn't cute.
Six ;  Be talkative.  Talk to me. But not to the point where I can't get a word in, ya know?
Seven ; Don't be afraid.  I tend to embarrass myself in public a lot, what can I say.. so don't be afraid to do the same. Dance with me in the middle of the mall to a song we will both have to sing.. I'd love that!
Eight ;  Take the time to figure me out.  I love going to the park, and just talking about life. I'm an open book to anyone who is willing enough to take the time and read.



For the two strongest girls in my world ♥ 12:44 AM

Today I frown, to see my friends world turn upside down.
She lost someone who touched her heart, the man who raised
her and made her smart.The strength that she had inside,
to smile when she wanted to cry and keep composure when
all had died.
You wonder if shes really ok, losing your dad doesn't happen
everyday. Its so hard to wake up and say "good morning what
we doing today?". She me makes wanna be more then who I really
am, she makes me wanna pick up the pen.
Shes done the impossible, nothing can bring her down,  shes the queen
and shes wearing the crown. I look up to her and grow off her each
and every smile, knowing this kid just did the mile.
With that she still carry's out a smile,
this kids a hero, maybe even a god, she enjoys the
small things.
Theres no fear in her world, because she herself,
is always pushing forward, she knows her family needs
her help.
Shes a normal kid like you and me, but shes always doing things
that we couldn't believe.
You think life's rough just listen to me, shes been to hell and back
faster then that show on your t.v.
Shes not the biggest but shes strong, always fixing things when all
goes wrong.
Sure everyone needs some help,  so I try to be there to help.
It's a circle of trust me and her have, something that will never end.
Shes my idol but over all shes my best friend.

Fucking honestly ♥ 12:03 AM

How come it seems that everywhere I look, it has something to do with sex. Like online, there's all these adds about "10 new ways to WOW your man in bed " .. " Things to turn him on in the bedroom" .
Honestly, I'm seeing this at the worst time. I feel as if I'm being pressured into sex, is it really that horrible to want to stay a virgin until you're married?
I don't push my beliefs on others, why are people pushing theirs on me.

I can honestly say I want to stay a virgin until I'm married. When I'm married, then I can be sure that man loves me. Not just going to fuck me and dump me the next day. To me, I feel your virginity is a gift..not a trophy for the next player to have won. And even though in the moment it will feel good, but I'm someone who regrets a lot. And I know there's a chance of people actually marrying the person they had sex with when they were a teenager, but for me.. I don't feel I've met someone I'm going to marry. So, why would I give up something that special, to someone who won't remember my name 3 years down the road. To me; it isn't worth it. I don't care if people think I'm lame, it's my life, my choice.. and I plan on sticking to it.

♥ 5:22 PM

We all want to live the life of the rich and the famous, 
but with fame comes deception and heartbreak.
Your back gets stabbed repeatedly you might as well strap a sign to you that says "insert here".
People don't know how to handle popularity, or wealth or attention. It goes to their head.
We all make that mistake at first, we become arrogant and rude. Put down everyone in our path just to use them as a stepping stone.
I have matured and grown up so much since I first had the least bit of recognition when I was 13. The so called 'Fame' (a brief ,yet obnoxious fascination with your well developed photos or poorly produced music ) makes up for the lack of self confidence, and self assuredness we all lack.
Some of my 'friends/enemies' however did not grow and mature as people. They stayed stagnant, floating in an endless pit of narcissistic selfloathing. Acting a fool every time the spot light is dimly lit on them.
Fame isn't about a friend count, or how many comments you get a day, or what number your song is on iTunes. It's about what you do for your fans, and the world. How you change things for the better, how you depict yourself.
When they say fame isn't everything it's true. I know so many people who have 'fame' of all different levels and they are the most miserable people I have ever seen.
In LA you can't turn your back for one minute without feeling a cold steel blade penetrate you, a blade of jealousy and lies. You have to wear a suit of armor, be aware of who you are entwined with. When they go up, up to the top they leave you down, down to rot. But when they go down they will take you with them.
For all of you kids who think you are famous for a friend count, news flash. Look around you.
For those of you who are changing the world for the better you are the TRUE celebrities!

Tuesday, August 17, 2010 ♥
YES ♥ 6:43 PM

I need the time to leave behind everything I've just seen
Cause I've been living in a good dream, for far too long
I need the time to realize everything was make believe
Dammit I was so naive
You were never who you seemed to be

But all I ask, is for my fair chance

Of making my way to the top of this industry
And with my own two hands, not a second glance
I'll make the impossible a possibility

So don't fuck this whole thing up for me, I thought we were a team

but now you're kicking the legs right out from under my dreams
Don't fuck this whole thing up for me, you said that we were a team
but now you're kicking the legs right right out from under my dreams



Some of All Time Low's new stuff! Get excited kids, GET EXCITEEDDD !

Be who you want to be. ♥ 11:31 PM

Count the threads on your knock-off juicy couture bag.
Let your stale mascara drip off your face, as you cry in horror when 'Daddy's
credit card stopped working'
Look around and notice that you're a clone. Understand we live in a mirror and
everything is a copy.
Can life as a teenager get anymore boring.
There is no point in living as a teen.
You're controlled by adults.
Your're not free to do what you want
you spend half your teenage life at school
you're scared/forced/demanded to do work WITHOUT PAY!

Your;

AGE

limits you
You can't get the jobs you want
You can't go to the clubs/parties/concerts you want to
you can only have fun at the Mcdonalds Playground
Your

LOVE

life Is a scam.
Everyone cheats on everyone
you're either lonely
ugly
poor
rich
popular
a no-body
fat
skinny
just "not my type".

SUICIDE

what a waste of time
and razors/pills/noose
You'll be out of the house in no time
Too messy
"selfish" when really its your damn life
you wont accomplish everything
you'll leave behind your myspace life *gag*
punish your parents
punish yourself

FASHION

Is it in or is it out?
Is it too expensive or is it too cheap?
Is it your color or is it your shape?
is it what Paris Hilton wore in her new sex video?
Is it a Coach or a Chanel?
Is it a knock-off or real?

SEXUALITY

Whats the point you're all sluts anyways
All the boys are too afraid to experiment
All the girls are more than willing.
All the sex parties die down by 3 a.m
Everyone has everyones something, smeared on them somewhere
You're so hollowed out you don't even know what sex you are.

DRUGS

Is it life or is it death?
Is it laced or is it straight
will I blaze or will I fade
how will I detox in time for my god damned drug test
Will I be cool if I do this?
Or will I be lame xCORE if I don't

RACE

No one acts their own race
Whites are blacks
blacks are whites
Pink is purple and yellow is faded

RELIGION

Why focus on a myth
when the true god is yourself
Why read a book of words that never change
rather than a brand new Anne Rice novel?
Why slit your wrists and scream "Stigmata" so everyone will believe your ugly
lies?

T.V.

Why sit and watch other people look like asses when you can do it yourself.
Why waste time and not accomplish things you want to?
why soak up the bullshit lies the news and media spreads.

Advice . ♥ 11:23 PM

Get over him. He's not even worth it. He is not worth your time or your tears.
Yea you loved him, I know that. And I know you just can't see yourself with anyone other than him, I get that.
I've been there. But why should you spend all your time sitting at home, bawling your eyes out and wondering where he is and who he is with. Do you honestly think he is thinking about you? No. Sure it hurts, the fact that he is out there falling in and out of love with other girls.Yea your gonna see him with one of his new girlfriends. Prepare yourself, cuz straight up; its gonna hurt.
He will hold her a little closer and squeeze her hand a little tighter just because he knows your watching.He knows its killing you; that's why he will do it. Don't let him get to you because that, well that's exactly what he wants. Don't give him what he wants. He doesn't even deserve it. So what if he doesn't talk to you; do you honestly wanna be friends with an asshole like him anyways? Thing is I know you still do. But give it time. Because all he would do is talk about his new girlfriend and just try and make you jealous, do you really wanna hear that? No. Screw him and his girlfriend. He will be sorry. Trust me.When he finally sees you with some other guy who's not him. With that huge grin on your face and your boyfriend holding you close, he will realize how happy you are now. And how happy your boyfriend is because he has you; the girl of his dreams.He will realize the huge mistake he made when he let you go, when he decided to choose her over you.When he decided he just did not love you the same. Trust me, he will be sorry. And don't you sit there thinking he won't be sorry I know you are. But I guarantee you now; He will be sorry. So don't go on spending your nights waiting for that one phone call you know your never gonna get. Or that IM you know he will never send you simply because he likes to ignore you.
He like to pretend he does not see you online, he does it outta spite just because he knows its killing you.When he walks past you in the hallways he is gonna look past you, but you need to know he will do that cuz he knows somewhere inside you, it will hurt. I ain't gonna lie to you. It will hurt. It'll hurt alot. But it will hurt even more when you see her name and how much he loves her in his profile. Its all gonna hurt. Knowing your not the girl that's making him smile.Knowing your not the first person he thinks of when he wakes up and the last before he goes to sleep. Knowing your not the face on his background of his phone anymore. Knowing if he hasn't already he will delete the album of pictures of you he has on his phone. Knowing you wont be spending every single moment possible with him.
Knowing there's not gonna be no more late night phone calls arguing about who loves who the most.And you know what, today, tomorrow, next week, months from now; your phone will go off with a text message, you will instantly grab your phone hoping its him saying he wants to give your relationship another shot. But trust me; hes got to much pride.Even if he wanted to be back with you, he wouldn't tell you. Your soon gonna realize he doesn't care about you anymore and he wont be the first person you call when your upset. He wont be the one to put that smile back on your face. And yea its gonna hurt; its gonna hurt alot. But you know what your gonna do? Your gonna hold your head up. Your gonna show him your better than him and you don't need him in your life. Your gonna prove to him that .

i am not a whore ♥ 9:09 PM

I don't know why I feel like i feel
this fling with you isn't even real.
You keep tryin' to ease into my heart
I'm not a fool you aren't rippin' it apart.
You think you know what I need;
but you ain't nothin' but guy trying to do a deed.
You can't even measure up to a man,
I'm just lettin' you know where I stand.
You really think i like your sweet talk,
i'm not impressed with you so you need to start walking.
Guess what? Im not looking for a thug.
I'm not going to let my heart be swept under the rug.
You think you can have any girl but you choose me,
I'm sorry boy that's not how it's going to be.
I'm not looking for a smooth talking man,
because I'm not a little obsessed fan.
I know the real reason you chose me,
there is something in my jeans you want to see.
Sit down so I can tell you the only way;
and that is to put a ring on my finger,
and to say you love me more than one day.

love her ♥ 2:51 PM

Oh how much love I have for her. The way she writes sends shivers down my spine.. We all have things that make our breath stop, and when she speaks.. that's when I go breathless .

Heaven ♥ 2:45 PM

At 12 years old I started bleeding with the moon
and beating up boys who dreamed of becoming astronauts.
I fought with my knuckles white as stars,
and left bruises the shape of Salem.
There are things we know by heart,
and things we don't.
 
At 13 my friend Jen tried to teach me how to blow rings of smoke.
I'd watch the nicotine rising from her lips like halos,
but I could never make dying beautiful.
The sky didn't fill with colors the night I convinced myself
veins are kite strings you can only cut free.
I suppose I love this life,
 
in spite of my clenched fist.
 
I open my palm and my lifelines look like branches from an Aspen tree,
and there are songbirds perched on the tips of my fingers,
and I wonder if Beethoven held his breath
the first time his fingers touched the keys
the same way a soldier holds his breath
the first time his finger clicks the trigger.
We all have different reasons for forgetting to breathe.
 
But my lungs remember
the day my mother took my hand and placed it on her belly
and told me the symphony beneath was my baby sister's heartbeat.
And I knew life would tremble
like the first tear on a prison guard's hardened cheek,
like a prayer on a dying man's lips,
like a vet holding a full bottle of whisky like an empty gun in a war zone…
just take me      just take me
 
Sometimes the scales themselves weigh far too much,
the heaviness of forever balancing blue sky with red blood.
We were all born on days when too many people died in terrible ways,
but you still have to call it a birthday.
You still have to fall for the prettiest girl on the playground at recess
and hope she knows you can hit a baseball
further than any boy in the whole third grade
 
and I've been running for home
through the windpipe of a man who sings
while his hands playing washboard with a spoon
on a street corner in New Orleans
where every boarded up window is still painted with the words
We're Coming Back
like a promise to the ocean
that we will always keep moving towards the music,
the way Basquait slept in a cardboard box to be closer to the rain.
 
Beauty, catch me on your tongue.
Thunder, clap us open.
The pupils in our eyes were not born to hide beneath their desks.
Tonight lay us down to rest in the Arizona dessert,
then wake us washing the feet of pregnant women
who climbed across the border with their bellies aimed towards the sun.
I know a thousand things louder than a soldier's gun.
I know the heartbeat of his mother.
 
Don't cover your ears, Love.
Don't cover your ears, Life.
There is a boy writing poems in Central Park
and as he writes he moves
and his bones become the bars of Mandela's jail cell stretching apart,
and there are men playing chess in the December cold
who can't tell if the breath rising from the board
is their opponents or their own,
and there's a woman on the stairwell of the subway
swearing she can hear Niagara Falls from her rooftop in Brooklyn,
and I'm remembering how Niagara Falls is a city overrun
with strip malls and traffic and vendors
and one incredibly brave river that makes it all worth it.
 
Ya'll, I know this world is far from perfect.
I am not the type to mistake a streetlight for the moon.
I know our wounds are deep as the Atlantic.
But every ocean has a shoreline
and every shoreline has a tide
that is constantly returning
to wake the songbirds in our hands,
to wake the music in our bones,
to place one fearless kiss on the mouth of that brave river
that has to run through the center of our hearts
to find its way home.

The crownless again shall be king. ♥ 1:06 AM

All that is gold does not glitter. Not all those who wander are lost. The old who are strong do not whither. Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken. A light from the shadow will spring. Renewed be the blade that was broken. The crown less again shall be king.

What else is new . ♥ 10:15 AM

Nobody can, & will ever understand how much it hurts to know that i still miss you. Those conversations we shared, that only you & me had. Those random things that you & i only used to do. & I rarely admit it, i hate to admit it, but i miss you. It's unavoidable, undeniable, unchangeable. I wake up, & the first thought is you - actually, most thoughts are about you. I really miss you. I would give my everything to be everything we're not.
And it may seem that I haven't been thinking of you & that this memory of you I've held in my heart, I've finally been able to let it go. I'm just trying to give you some space, give you some time to realize how much you mean to me & hopefully you'll pick up your act & come back. You & I both know that deep inside this thing we got going on isn't ever going to stop. Because as much as I cry, fight & stress about you, I wouldn't do it if I didn't think that you were worth it. Whoever you decide to let take my place, just remember that it won't be for long because even though we're not together, please don't doubt that it was real. I don't know what else to do but to wait, wait for better things, better days. A better time for us so that this time, we're gonna make it. I don't want a fresh start; I want to learn from our mistakes together. You know I'd do anything for you. I wanna see how far you'll go for me. There's a lot of things I want, & you're not one of them. I need you. I keep trying to push away these feelings & hide the underneath anything that will keep me sane for the day. Me & you, we're just the 8th wonder of the world. I'm dying inside because I hope what I'm saying isn't too late.

Like we used to .. ♥ 6:37 PM

No he doesn't do anything, like you used to.
He doesn't watch my favorite movies with me,
and he doesn't hold me when I cry.
It's been 5 months without seeing you, why aren't I over you yet?
I tell people I'm, I even have a new boyfriend...
But do you know what; I'm not, not a bit.
He can't even begin to compare to you, not at all.
March 5th was the best day of my life, the day I met you.
And the day, I can confirm that I met my soul mate.
I hate to say it but... if only I was with you instead of him
