Array ( [sid] => 89889 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Fireworks (Re: 2004's 4th of July) [time] => 2005-04-04 19:34:39 [hometext] => When you lose someone you love right before a holiday, That holiday just isn't the same...Am I Right? [bodytext] => I ignored the fireworks tonight,
The memory of your eyes was a better view.
And natural beauty is better,
Than beauty that comes from lighting a fuse.

Love don’t even matter,
Cuz you and I didn’t last.
The only thing I wanted,
Was to keep you away from your past.

Why did you even ask me,
If you were just gonna end it today?
Do you like getting my hopes up,
And then watching me hurt this way?

Right after they rip out your heart, It’s funny,
How they always wanna be your friend.
And all the while you think it’s okay,
But it’s torture when you see them again.

I just wish you had more faith,
As well as way more self respect.
You have much more talent than you think,
You just haven’t discovered it yet.

And maybe while you’re discovering it,
Your closed eyes will open and see,
Just how much your ex-girl cares,
And how much you mean to me.

It's not that the fireworks were ugly.
I was just wishing I could still be your girl.

...To the world, you’re just one person,
But to this person, You’re the whole world. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 147 [topic] => 65 [informant] => JacobsKK [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 45 [ratings] => 9 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => toughstuff )
