:: I CLOSE MY EYES & I SMILE ::

i cannot get enough of "18th floor balcony" by blue october tonight.

takes me back to that beginning-of-a-relationship fun and excitement and nervousness and innocence. that feeling of knowing what you hope you know will come but you fear that it might not and what if it does? it crushes you but the waiting itself is crushing you. in a good way. in the best way. such extreme happiness and anticipation and everything rolled into one.

i miss that.

:: DO YOU MISS ME ::

now i hear you're in love with some big city man
and together you're making your big city plans
and you hope he don't find out about who you are
that we used to catch fireflies in mason jars
and we used to go down to the county fair
and we listened to blue grass in summer air
and we danced all night as the rain came down
and you held my hand as we slept on the ground
and we wrote our names in the old oak wood
i guess some things don't work out like they should.

do you miss me?
