Lori's song

Well, it's now officially Valentine's Day, so I guess the mood is right for a cheesy love song.

This one goes waaaaay back. This might have been the second song I wrote, about a girl I knew in high school. She had a boyfriend. Oops. blackboxtheater has seen his fair share of unrequited love.

I found this on a folded piece of paper in my cow book after I started this little blog project. I was gonna let it go, but then I decided that nothing is too cheesy or personal or... bad... for this blog. Maybe it's just me, but I only like about 40% of the stuff I've written. But when I'm done with this blog, I'll have a standing piece of work... everything that I've never let people see. As a whole, I'm proud of my writing, but it's kinda funny to look back on the things I used to think and the words I used to write.

Anyway, Happy Valentine's Day. Go grab some wine, I'll provide the cheese...

Lori's Song

I want to look you in the eye
but it hurts
and I want to ask what's on your mind
I won't. Maybe I'm afraid to know.

Would you take me as I am?
...if he weren't there?
I'd love to show you who I am
...if you'd love me back.

Well, I thank you for being there
for me when I need someone
to make me smile and say out loud
I love you.

I'll make it through each day
with or without you
But I could use you at my side
as I take on the world.

How like you to make me feel this way
when my heart doesn't want to smile.
Where would I be
Without you?
