So '90s.

From "I Want It That Way" by BSB


But we are two worlds apart;
Can't reach to your heart,
When you say
'I want it that way.'

Am I your fire,
Your one desire?
Yes, I know it's too late,
But I want it that way.

Now I can see that we've fallen apart
From the way that it used to be, yeah --
No matter the distance,
I want you to know
That deep down inside of me
You are my fire.

Don't wanna hear you say
'Ain't nothin' but a heartache,
Ain't nothin' but a mistake,'
I never wanna hear you say,
'I want it that way.'

Seasons

I, Summer, Fall for you -- Winter.
Though for now you give me naught
but cold words and icy looks, I trust that
in time you will warm to me. Love will
Spring forth from your heart, as once
again, my darling Winter, you return
to me, Summer.

Phantom Love

In cryptic dreams I recognize
A phantom love from long ago;
And whether I have dreamed of lies
Or prophesies, I do not know.

I'm a Ghost Without Your Love

The third of June, do you remember?
I called you mine 'til nine September.
You dressed in black that Sunday morning;
And took my life without a warning.

Crane

You'd need one to lift my spirits.

Thursday

truth hurts.
just leave
me alone,
as I have
been, and
as I shall
remain.

Maybe

Maybe I'm reckless, or simply too bold,
And maybe I'm copper, though surely you're gold;
And why should the common be placed with the rare?
Oh maybe I'm foolish to dream that you'd care!
