The Colours of What We Have

When you have done the things you've done.
When I tell you I'll meet you at the door, and you tell me you're sorry. That I have no reason left to worry.
When you hit the ground in a most peculiar way, and I tell you to wait and you tell me I'll be sorry. That you have no reason left to worry. 

When I am more than you can take, just give me back.

If you're tired of trying to fall asleep, sleep on it and try again tomorrow.
If you're all out of promises, I have one left for you: The Earth is still here as long as you're alive.
If you want to yell out your frustrations, I'll understand, just understand that the whole world is screaming, mostly complaining about the noise.

If you're worried about having the poetry knocked out of you of you when you're older, don't. Old blood bleeds as good as new.
If you've got nothing left to feel, just think of me and please do not walk away.

If there's anything else, let me know.

Is there, perhaps, somewhere I can return myself?
I've had enough of me.

Most genuine words I have read in a while, thanks for that!!!

It's reassuring to know someone can understand.Even if you don't, your words do.
Thanks for that.

I don't want to be more than you can take. I want you to hold me tightest when I struggle to be free. I want you to love me always because I love you always. For better and worse.

You can use the word "hate" all you want, its just a mirror of YOU. The FACT is that you never knew ME.

I am sorry but no matter how much it hurts to fall each and every time I cannot bring myself to give back what has become an essential part of my life. And my selfishness worries me regardless.

So I get up. I brush myself off. And I continue to wait for the light that is you. It seems my patience must be endless.

Because you are worth the wait. You are worth it all to me.

When you have done the things that you've done, all I can do is worry. Your words are haunting and beautiful yet I see no deeds to suggest you are sorry.

I could have used these words in a recent conversation I had... I can almost see the club with the bar empty and everyone readying to close for the night.

Yup... these words would have fit that scene... but instead I was left to my own awkward devices and you can just about imagine how that turned out..!

I love this. :)
I wish I had read something like this a month ago, I really needed it. I'm saving it for another time. Thank you. :)

I tried not to leave but I left anyway. Maybe it's just not meant to be? Maybe.

Torn between the girl I'm with for 8 yrs and the girl of my dreams. We haven't cuddled or exchange kisses but those conversations are more than sex at midnight and cuddling at dawn. Am I that selfish if I can't give her back? If I can't let her heart go? I drown in sorrow everytime I think that she's the girl forever promised me but not the girl I've promised forever. Can I give her back later? I just want to make her happy and when the time comes she'll always be that girl I don't want to give back no matter what happens call me selfish but the truth is - fate is cruel. I love you baby even if we're not meant to be. ::::(((
