We are so close, yet so far away
our hearts feel bound over the miles
yet we are still both growing
and the emotions we're showing
i think they are too early
i think we're too young to fall in love
So what am i going to say
we're both still so close to each other
when the guilt pangs come around
i still cannot tell what's to be found
wating around the corner
i just know that i dont want to fall in love, yet...
would you wait for me if i went away
would you welcome me back, whether im here to stay or not
i just think maybe we're moving too fast
and falling in love would make too early an end
im only on the first pages of my lif
Every time I think of your sad face
I cannot help but think it is all my fault
and I don't know whether what I'm feeling now
is guilt or something else
and all that I know that I know for sure
is that I really know nothing at all
so whatever results, I hope it is right
I hope I did the right thing because I only get one chance at life
but how can I discern true feelings
from guilt-ridden thoughts of regret?
in these times of confusion
maybe I should have kept quiet
and what did I mean, anyhow?
they say you don't know what you've got till its gone
but what have I got, and is it all gone?
I hope I have made the right choices

The Mime Formerly Known As Ned
Ned unlocks the door
and, in the dim light of his dim life
turns the handle to his future
the apartment, near empty
the squeaky couch and the fuzzy tv
rumages through the refrigerator
picking through the contents of his past
with a plate of self-pity
and a glass of regret
Ned sits to eat his life
a question burning his mind
fleeting thoughts fleet less when hungry
passing thoughts amble by
stewing ideas cook for ages
devoured by the void of the mind
too many years wasted
fresh carrots tossed away
even more time spent moping
without a hope for repair
could it work?
could it set him free?

I stepped in out of the rain and closed the door. Pushing my way through my friends, I sat down at the table under the window and opened up the laptop. As I began setting up, a voice from the rear of the room took my attention. I leaped onto a table to find the voice's owner; I greeted him, and then made some jokes with some other friends. My parents summoned me into the next room. They were the bearers of bad news...
What? I could not believe it. A full-fledged nuclear assault on the US... who... why? I knew why, I didnt spend long with that question. The fact remained, however. In fact, the idea seemed almost novel to me... the thought of
