days like today

on days like today i feel a phantom sadness, but the pale yellow leaves on dark asphalt intrigue me too much to give in. lately i look out of windows and see leaves falling slowly to the ground, and in my head i think, they understand.

i hate to admit this, but more sleep makes things better. why do i have to be so human in this respect? i want to be different. i want to be like a solar-powered girl --- the more hours i'm awake, the more charged i get. i've lived the nightlife, and contrary to being lonely, i found it absolutely wonderful. when you're awake at 2:30 in the morning, you make interesting friends. either that, or you have to make friends with yourself. both are excellent options.

do you remember
it was just you and me
that cold october

do you remember
drawing me in
your heartbeat
on the back of my shoulder

i couldn't have known
it would be like this
would i have loved you anyway?
do you remember?

Oooh! I would love to be solar-powered! To store up energy all day and putter away during the night. I love to read late at night when the house is quiet and sometimes the cats snuggle next to me.
