No One Told Me

No One Told Me

When I close my eyes,

My thoughts and dreams drift to you.

I keep my eyes shut,

And think of your lips on mine.

I keep my eyes shut,

And think of your hand in mine.

I keep my eyes shut,

And smell you as if you were here.

I keep my eyes shut,

And dream of the times that we had,

Since our time has come to an end.

No one told me that it would be hard,

Learning to not feel for you anymore.

No one told me that it would be hard,

To remain friends with someone,

You once thought the world of.

No one told me that it would be hard,

To say goodbye to you and the life we once knew.

No one told me that it would be hard,

To see you living your life with someone else.

No one told me it would be hard,

To only be your friend and not have you in my life again.

When I close my eyes,

My thoughts and dreams drift to you.

I keep my eyes shut,

And think of your lips on mine.

I keep my eyes shut,

And think of your hand in mine.

I keep my eyes shut,

And smell you as if you were here.

I keep my eyes shut,

And dream of the times that we had,

Since our time has come to an end.

No one told me that it would be hard,

Seeing you walk in the same room that I'm in,

And feeling the way that I've always felt about you.

No one told me that it would be hard,

To no longer have that same safety and comfort with you.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
