...and when your favourite song comes on,
you know the one, with the meaningful lyrics,
you'll finally, after keeping quiet all this time,
sing along to it with your eyes closed
and maybe someone will notice
and think that the song has deep inner meaning for you,
and that maybe you're singing along
because quietly inside you're being affected in ways
no one else in the room will ever be affected,
and maybe they'll look at you with awe
and a better sense of who you are.
Snap out of it.
They're all doing the same thing you are.
I was going to write a poem
about a girl I know
who cried in my arms for a while.
I didn't know
what to do
how to make it better
so I would have called the poem
"The Storm".
It was going to be about
how storms last a long time
how you can't stop them
how you have to wait them out
and it would have been clever
because it would have shown people
how it lasted a long time
how I couldn't stop it
how I had to wait it out
and I would have made a clever
reference to how the thoughts
in her head were like a
raging storm.
But I can't write poems
so I wrote this instead.
It conveys the sam

What he's thinking during the movie:
Does she like me? I should find out somehow. What should I do? Is she trying to hint something? Give a sign? What'll I do? Should I give my own sign? What if I put my arm right here, just like this, maybe she'll pick up on it and grab it? Five minutes, ten, nope, she's not doing anything, does she want me to grab hers? C'mon, c'mon, please, please, given me a sign! If she does and I don't, then that's an opportunity missed, but if I do and she had no thoughts of anything like that then she'll shrug me off and probably never speak to me again. What can I do? Should I lean in closer to her? Maybe she'll hug

A Short List Of Things I Want
Dear somebody... wherever you are.
Where are you? Are you real? I spend every day thinking about you, and you don't even exist.

I want to drive for hours into the night with you, listening to mix cd's on low volume, the rain casting mottled, moving little shadows over your skin as the soft reflection of the headlights pours t
