Don't Go Away

I don't wanna be there when you're...
Coming down
I don't wanna be there when you hit the ground

So don't go away, say what you say
Say that you'll stay... Forever and a day
Cause I need more time, yes I need more time just to make things right
~*~Oasis "Don't Go Away"

I've just discovered Oasis this last week. Leslie introduced me to them. The song before 'Fade Out' has Johnny playing slide guitar. It's a cool song, like Fade Out. I'm on the lookout for the Cd 'Be Here Now'. If you see it, I will love you forever if you get it for me. I'll even pay you back. But onward, not that I'm done begging.

Right now I'm listening to "Love is Good" by Jai. It's a very cool song. (And no, it's not my usual heavy metal. It's acutally kind of pop rock. Which I usually hate.) I'm now going to buy his cd too. If you want to check out what I'm hearing, go to http://www.arriveateleven.com and once it's loaded, click the 4 on the clock (you'll see what I'm talking about.) You can either a.) listen to the Love is Good chorus over and over again b.) listen to clips of 3 singles by clicking music, or c.) listen to the whole song Love is Good by clicking the click here link at the bottom of the page, which will take you to where you can buy his album and preview his single.

Okay well I'm back now, out of my dream, the best week of my life. To the rude awakening of school in 5 days. What the fuck? Who starts school in the middle of August. I do. I should take one of those tickets that say "Admit one: Crazyworld" and staple it to my forhead. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's a thing against drugs and a long story indeed for another day.)

Anyway. I'm not going to write my summer away. But I am going to post some poems I wrote on my trip.

Rent
I see you very clearly
But only flahses in my mind
Like a stuttering video

I still can't believe
You were really so close
Yet so far away

I will never forget that moment
When you looked into my eyes
Nearly causing my to faint

I never knew I could feel this way
Or that this could really happen.
That dreams can really come true.

Rent Part II
No curtain to draw back
No introductions to make
The lights dim and it begins
I'm sitting here, watching
Famous people I've seen on TV!
But still here I am, no more than 20 feet away
This can't be happening
I can't tear my eyes away
How could I let myself miss anything
It's all too amazing
My adreneline running more than ever before
Than you for being my first
For the best expierence of my life
You're got your hold on me
Please no - don't die - I'm crying
I never knew your talent
Though I loved you just the same
Now I adore you even more
Thank you
--8/7/04

Eccentricity
I love your personality
I love your eyes and your smile
I love who you are
I want you around for a while

I love your attitude
I love that you do it your way
I love your sensitivity
I want you to never go away

I love your mistique
I love the way you hold your ground
I love your passion
I want you to stay around

I love your talent and your craft
I love the expressions on your face
I love your free spirit
I want you to never leave this place
--8/7/04

Crystal
When was it you realized
When did you first see
The same thing that I now know
Is happening to me

The way you have inspired me I never could have known
Everything I've watched
And everything you've shown

[Certain name I will not insert] thank you for everything
You never knew you ddi
I think I may discard the mask
Behind which I once hid

525,600 Minutes
525,600 minutes of a year
That's how often I think about it
All the time

525,600 minutes
How much time I spend living a lie
All the time

525,600 minutes
How long I live in fear
All the time

525,600 minutes
When I wish I could be me
All the time

525,600 minutes
When you are honestly you
All the time

Some of them are not that great. The first 2 are obviously about the play and seeing Jai. (Do you all see the beginning symptoms of obsession?) If you don't know whta the 3rd one is, I don't know why you're my friend, because you're either stupid or don't know me. And I'm not going to make a comment on the last 2. Though I will say I wrote the last one today on the plane.

That's all for now. More when there's more.
