Stop Thinking

I need to stop thinking about you,
Because you're creeping into my thoughts at night.
I need to stop thinking about you
And your bad-boy attitude and gentle eyes.
I need to block you out,
Or else I won't be able to.
I need to stop thinking about your strong hands
And handsome face.
I can't afford to have feelings for you,
So I need to stop thinking.

What Happened to Us?

Looking back on days long gone,
I wonder,
What happened to us?
Where did those days go?
I wish I could go back
And hear your laugh again,
That deep, belly laugh of yours,
Continuing until we're both breathless.
What happened to that laugh,
I wonder,
As I mourn the days of our past years.
Oh, we have changed.
Why are we all so sad?
What happened to us that causes us
To worry about school and work and the future
More than we worry about one another
More than we worry about keeping our friendship alive?
We're so full of anxiety and fear
That we keep forgetting to say hello
And remind ourselves
Of each other's existence.
What happened to us?
Why don't we talk so much anymore
About the sky, the stars, the universe?
Why do we only speak of stress and pain?
Wow, we have both changed.
So who are we now?
I'm still trying to understand
What really happened to us.
