my dreamy friend

It’s her hair and her eyes today
That just simply takes me away
And the feeling that I’m falling further in love
Makes me shiver, but in a good way

All the times I have sat and stared
As she thoughtfully thumbs through her hair
And she purses her lips, bats her eyes
And she plays with me sitting there slack jawed
With nothing to say

Cause I love her with all that I am
And my voice shakes along with my hands
Coz she’s all that I see and she’s all that I need
And I’m out of my league once again

It’s a masterful melody
When she calls out my name to me
As the world spins around her
She laughs, rolls her eyes
And I feel like I’m falling but it’s no surprise.

Cause I love her with all that I am
And my voice shakes along with my hands
Cause it’s frightening to be swimming in this strange sea
But I’d rather be here than on land

Yes she’s all that I see and she’s all that I need
And I’m out of my league once again.

wouldn’t it be a beautiful thing.

I need change, i want to appear suddenly in the middle of Thailand with a basket of green mangoes in my arms and a crowd of the native people flowing around me like a colorful river. 

the dirt swirls and the sun blazes with a passion you just don’t see in America anymore, and just as i catch the scent of some strange spice on the air, i am whisked away to the peak of a snowy mountain. perhaps the Appalachians, or the Scottish highlands, the Austrian Alps. the air is so sharp it bites, clouds form from my mouth and melt away into the piercing blue sky. 

I want to stand in a dark corner at a local bar in downtown Barcelona and watch the passionate dance and nightlife of the Spanish underworld. my eyes will be smoky with dark shadow and my restless fingers with fiddle with the sequins in my skirt. 
If i close my eyes hard enough, i’m there- sitting cross-legged on the white shores of the mystical Maldives, the crystalline waters rushing up past my waist, warm winds flowing over my skin and through my hair the way it did in Maui when i forgot my own name.

I have another midterm tomorrow. it’s 5am, i just had one too many cups of coffee and i can’t sleep.. even if i wanted to. but i don’t want to. my bed has too much crap on it. i’m feeling far too lethargic to even attempt to clear it. 
my roommate has disappeared, fiesty Latina minx. off somewhere mixing it with the bad types, having a ball, sleeping over with boy from 2nd floor. something like that, or something.
