things change and friends leave life doesn't stop for anybody- perks of a wallflower (A.K.A a pretty lit movie)


The breeze reminds me of a song that's lost in my head

There's plenty of people all around but its almost as if they aren't here

Six feet apart but I feel closer to you than i ever had 

After so many years of pretending to people were not 

It feels like I'm talking to the real you 

This you seems kind and caring and steady anchor to my ship 

My eyes down to the daisies blowing in the green blades of grass 

Im scared but not the kind of scared that makes you want to run away 

If anything I'm scared that ill get too close and you'll shut me out 

My eyes meet yours and you hold out your hand 

Inside is a tiny daisy chain 

You smile that same smile I've seen since the 5th grade

At times like these I wish the world would stop so we could keep moving forward
