  For you.

  mutual weirdness and call it love.

  If you see this
  Would you know this is for you?
  If you read this would you still feel
  The way I used to love you?

  It's now or never, the wait is over
  It's all in here, in these tears on paper
  
   
   
   
  The Scribbled Dreams
   
   
  Living happily in my world
  of make believe
  With the love that I need
  imagining you can give
   
  As well as its thorns
  the rose in my heart grew
  Piercing every bit of me,
  but what can I do?
   
  The highest mountain
  surely now I must climb
  Please, can I really go on
  without
