It won’t be real.
But it could be.
He’s my age.
I want to break into the business.
Maybe our paths will cross.
But then again,
My success is not guaranteed.
He’s someone I might never meet.
And still, even if I did,
Wouldn’t he find it weird,
That long before he knew I existed,
I was sitting here thinking of him?
What does it matter.
I can have my crush.
Maybe someday someone in real life will com...
Somebody teach me to fall in “like”
Like just plain attraction, no strings attached
The kind that doesn’t control your whole mind
Or leave your peripheral vision black
Ive been consumed by the thought of you
Though I hardly know more than your name
I envy those who’s nerves stay relaxed
As they juggle with hearts like some sort of game
Somebody teach me to fall in “like”
Stop my thoughts from s...
Crowds have always been familiar.
Guitar in hand, I play songs I've had memorized for ages.
Some people listen, some too busy drinking to care.
My gaze can't help but scan the crowd,
reading their expressions to see if they like what I play.
But my eyes freeze when they land on a boy that looks too out of place to be in a bar.
He's got a button up on, with a tie that's slightly crooked.

I remember the moment I realized my feelings.
We were 16 and at a meet. I had already finished my floor routine and was waiting to be called to do my bars. While waiting, Josie had been called to do her beam routine, and since I had nothing better to do, I decided to watch it.
The flips and tricks stirred something in the pit of my stomach and the butterflies fluttered around in crazy circles. ...
I’m grinning ear-to-ear.
It’s been a while since I’ve done that, but this boy in front of me seems to get ME. Not the facade we all expect and see at first glance. I’m just…
Just standing there.
Grinning.
Like an idiot.
I notice the cute little spark in his eyes and wonder if it’s because of me.
Is it?
His words make me blush.
Wait, since when?
This is my friend. My friend… how could h...
When it comes to sexual attraction, it makes the most logical sense that one could only form a crush on a real person. After all, the purpose of attraction is to a physical aspect. You have to touch the person you are attracted to. You have to be able to talk to the person, with them talking back. For the longest time, I thought only idiots could develop feelings for a fictional character.
That w...
Pawstep by pawstep, Stardust made her way down the quiet forest path. Mice scurried every with way around her paws.
"Stardust!" Jupiter shouted. "Stardu-uh..." she paused and took a big gulp of air. "W...wait up!"
"Oh, Jupiter, it's you." Stardust sighed. "Can't my father just allow me to be alone for two seconds?"
"I'm afraid not, Master. Especially after your river accident." Jupiter reminded...
I remember looking into her eyes. Soft and gentle. A reminder of the good. In that moment she might of saw a hero. A man that could do no wrong. For me, I finally understood the villains. Not their anger or their lust for evil, but if having her meant setting fire to the world. I would watch it burn....
I saw you standing there
And from that moment I felt your eyes shining at mine
I felt the unfamiliar magnetism pulling me towards you
I saw nothing else
And as the crowd mingled and laughed
I was pleased to find you staring
I simply did not care
Tall handsome and artistic
With a touch of bad boy you smiled
And to follow this meeting there we stood
Embarking on a dangerous daydream a time of fli...
As long as I breathe,
I will love you.
As long as I see,
I will notice you.
No matter what I do,
remember this;
I love you.
But—
As long as you breathe,
you won't love me.
As long as you see,
you won't see me.
I see your eyes—
a mix of green and blue.
They tell me lies;
let me believe in me and you.
I stare at you,
you can't even glance at me.
I'm lost in their hue,
and you’re lost in period...
