Do not forget

Do not forget to do something that scares you, for it is the only way you can be alive, at least once, everyday.

Do not forget to explore beyond what you know, for it is the only way you can know more.

Do not forget to kiss the lips of the ones that make you think you love them, for it is the only way you'll be able to know when you really love.

Do not forget to smile with every footstep at a passing stranger, for that smile may be your last.

Different in the Distance

Hey there lonely.
You looked different in the distance.
They way your hair swayed,
and the scent of lavender days,
and star studded nights
that seemed to be you,
They made you look different in the distance.

Hey there lonely,
You looked different in the distance.
I didn't realize that you moved
Across the Atlantic.
To where my dreams dazzled
And patriotism inspired.
Oh, but you look different in the distance.

Hey there lonely,
You looked different in the distance.
Almost as appealing as freedom,
From the somebodies I used to know.
But somehow still a barrier,
From the one's I'm yet to love.
Oh, but you looked different in the distance.
