Nothingman
First listen to nothing man by pearl jam
Song holds meaning to me. I’ve held many conquests in my life.
I’ve went after females of all types. I’m a storyteller, good with words
and I know what they want to hear and how to tell them. You know you
don’t tell them their sexy you tell em their beautiful things of that
sort. I’ve had many people walk through my life and never leave an
impression. Told the stories till they didn’t believe I was superman and
then let them walk away. I caught a bolt of lightning, cursed the day I
let it go.
Awkward situations can turn into rewarding ones. She’s not the most
beautiful thing in the world, but her smile is. I hate whiners, but love
to hear her beg me to never let go of the embrace of a hug. Engulf me
with kisses, and get lost in the deep stare of her gleamy eyes. She once
believed in every story I had to tell. One day she stiffened took the
other side. But, she stuck around even when I put her through hell. She
knows I’m not superman but she knows I’m somebody. She knows that I feel
the same way she does. I could never ever replace certain things she has
done for me. How do you repay steps you know you can’t retrace? Words
left unspoken can never be taken back.
I could piece together a million letters to form thousands of words, but
it would still be incomplete. Never forget the ones that had a soft
stroke always on your heart. Catch your lightning, and inside you it
will spark like fireflies caught in a jar. Don’t be nothing man. Don’t
go on multiple conquests just searching for what was never out of reach
in the first place. He who fails to remember will never cease to forget.
Life or death should not define you as a person. Never let it get to
that point to realize what you take for granted. I walk on my own with
thoughts I can’t help thinking. Futures above, but in the past I’m
slowly sinking.
Few in my life have I ever loved. But the syllables of her name spoken
speak directly to my heart. She’s one of the few that will be there
forever and will always hold me to that nervous shyness. Every first
kiss in our rendezvous is the same. A shy touch followed by a hand on
the face then a loss of control. I am nothing man, but I am her wreck of
perfection. Caught my bolt of lightning and today I won’t let it go. My
lightning may never be in my life as a girlfriend or more, but she will
always be in my life to some degree. Figure out your lightning, and
don’t let it go. In a cursed and cruel world laughter and love are our
only combatants. Hold on to everything that once made you happy and you
to will be happy
