brace yourself.

"Baby, take off your cool,
i wanna see you, i wanna see you,
Baby, don't be so cool,
i wanna see you, i wanna see you,

Baby, take off your cool,
i want to get to know you."
_Benjamin, Andre

brace yourself

she's not
smiling because she's happy.
she's smiling because she knows
it won't last forever;
she's learned to savor moments
like these.

brace yourself

he's not
telling the truth when
he says things you already have proof
to prove otherwise;
afterall, you have to trust yourself
before you can trust others.

brace yourself

he's not
kissing your hands because
he's in love with you;
you just won't let him kiss the other places
he'd muchratherbekissing.

brace yourself

you'll never be able to tell what's real,
what's the truth or what's a lie.
we're all real
we all tell lies
we all live lives
half the time
not knowing
what we're doing.
or what we really meant to say that one time,
everytime.

we speak in ways we believe benefit ourselves,
when,
instead, we should speak in ways we believe will benefit us
both.

brace yourself

things aren't always what they seem.

brace yourself

for the moments you'll spend in the company
of only yourself.

brace yourself

for the moments when being alone
is the only thing
that will save you
from
being alone.
