Just Lie

I don't want to know the truth, so please just lie.

Say that you'll call me at night, just like old times to assure me that everything is alright.
Am I still the only one that you truly want?
Will you hold my hand, just like you did when we first met?
Do you still feel the same?
After all this time, am I still on your mind?

Can we forget that we ever needed space, because we both know we don't have any more time left to waste.
Am I still pretty?
How about beautiful?
Is my smile still something that motivates you to get up each day even after all this pain?
Do you still want to be the guy who gets down on one knee in front of me?

I wonder if you wonder would life would be like if things had played out differently.
When it comes to you and me, do you remember everything?
Are you ready for a final goodbye?
How do you really feel inside?
When you make it to the bottom of your bottles, do you still think of me?

I'm scared to know the truth.

So lie.

Will you tell me only want my heart wants me to hear?
Tell me that you're always gonna be right here and that you're never going anywhere.
Hit me with those three words, will you say it to me now?
To see you walk away, to hear you say your final goodbye.
I'm not ready.
I don't want to let go.

Tell me this is a bad dream.

Just lie.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
