For the Down Low. AKA, you.

What I am sure of is this:
We were meant to be together
But time passed and I guess I was wrong
The love I had for you couldn’t withstand forever.

I guess it’s partially my fault
I took your heart and ran away with it
But you were the one that took mine
I fell hard for your charm and wit.

And then you found someone else
I’m not sure if you did this to show me what I lost
At this time I knew that you weren’t worth it
I’m stuck here now, with our paths intertwined and crossed.

One day you tell me that you want to be friends
But the next day you leave me high and dry
Another day, another time, you tell me you’ll be here for me
Yet you still left me behind, the girl trying not to cry.

So now I’m here, waiting in the dark
I don’t know if I can love, or even dream
You took me in, and then you kicked me out
Ripped my heart out of its seam.

What am I left to do now
Nothing much but watch as you try
To put the pieces back together between us
Now I’m the one that will watch you cry.

I see that what you have is not working out
I’m genuinely sorry that your love is coming undone
But you see, I’ve found someone else that’s won over my heart
He is special, caring, and lovely, and the one.

So while you are lying there by yourself
Trying to figure out how to fix everything
I wanted you to know that I will be here
Living my own life, so new and exciting.

Without you.

(: where did you go, summer? // JCV-L

Heyy i was just wondering the same thing! ...

old classic redone by the one and only Michael Buble. "Summer Wind", ladies and gentlemen. i believe it is Frank Sinatra that made this one famous :)

So. it's almost the end of July. i reckon that schools are very generous to put summer vacay in these two months. after all, these two months [July and August] both have 31 days consecutively AND are in the same year as well. plus, a week off the end of June, a week off the beginning of September and yeah. 10 weeks or awesomeness

or 10 weeks of pure boredom, pick your poison :P

but now we're halfway through the summer already? where did time fly off to?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'd like to take some time to dedicate this to my dearest friend, one of my besties, that was tragically taken away from her family and friends far too soon.

Jessica Cassandra Verde-Leon, one of a kind, one in a million. She always smiled, and was never rude, and always took the high road instead of bringing down her trustworthiness. Responsible and respectable, this chica was going places in life.

An aspiring singer and dancer, her dreams were cut short way too soon because of a drunk driver. She leaves behind her mom and dad, her older brother Justin and younger sister Jay, her grandparents and many, many friends who all loved her dearly.

Fly in Paradise, Jess. You will be missed. JCV-L 1996 - 2011

this was her favourite song.

This is "We'll Be A Dream" by We the Kings, one of her favourite bands, and a band that she introduced me to.

We love you, Jess.

Stay out of trouble and don't forget to smile. And to anyone who thinks that drinking and driving is a safe thing to do, think again.

Dear Universe

Dear Universe,

It's been quite a while.

We've talked before but I really think

I can't go the extra mile.

Do you want me to stay

Or do you want me to go?

I don't think I'm needed here

So I'll walk out and away.

This is where I am

I don't think I need to

Remention anything

Or anyone.

Dear Universe

Time has sure passed us by

I don't know where to go now

But in the blink of an eye

I see my life flash in front of me

Something I need to hold onto

I don't think I'm needed here

Anymore

This is who I am

I really  want you to see

 This is who I am

I"m gonna be

me.



Hello.

Summer like weather has finallly  arrived in my area. I am so happy, it's finally here and sunny and everything else that's nice. :)

So what's new with you? Nothing, if you call completing all necessary training to be a legit staff member with the City nothing! I just  finished up training this afternoon, and I'm thrilled about my progress :)

"Parachutes and Airplanes" by the lovely guy himself, David Archuleta <3 love this song! Just another song to get your spirits high for the summer ---

excitement is in the air. it goes both ways though - on one hand, i love summer. i love to debrief and chill. it's wonderful to live life slightly differently and help out in day camps with children. that makes you smile.

on the other hand, i can't wait til school starts up again.

and guess what? it's almost july 17th. the same day that i said in an old facebook status that i would start missing school and counting down the days until it starts in september.

"September" by Daughtry - how ironic.

i called it though, ladies and gentlemen ;)

STAY OUT OF TROUBLE AND DON'T FORGET TO SMILE :) have a pleasant summer!

I just created a Big Time Rush blog to forward most (but not all) of my BTR stuff from here to there.

Now that it's summer, I have a lot more time on my hands.

DITTO. :)

Well, life should be getting better. If not, well then screw what you already know and go for yourself.

I would like to say that it is.

and why am i doing this? i just wanted to say hi :)

My Thoughts.

If it's going to be you

I want no excuses.

You live your life to your best

Don't put love to the test

I want to see you

True and full

Holding nothing but the truth in your hands.

I wish you could see me

Differently from what the world can

Who I am.

Love me now

Love me never

But if you want to love me

Love me forever

There are no second chances

There are no stops halfway

Because love is a choice

And I want you to choose me

The same way I chose you.

Here we go again.

Sorry to any American readers but....

Hello, and happy belated Canada day.

How ironic, on the 4th of July too. oh well. i wasn't on my blog on Canada day for unspecified reasons. but what really got me when i woke up this morning was not because it was independence day but because it is already july. OH. MY. GOODNESS.

yeah. super bowl and the american national anthem for the win. just out of respect :)

so yeah, how's it going for everyone? i hope that summer is treating you all well. another thing that caught me this morning was that there are only 10 weeks in summer and one has already passed us by.

what happened?

you're probably wondering why i am wondering all these things. here's my answer - I'm a glass both half empty and half full type of a person. just saying.

what's cool - the royal couple coming to visit our country! :) random thought...

and a random song!!! :) :) :)

All Again For You by We the Kings.

okay, well thats about a wrap. i hope that everyone's summer is a good one, and if anyone is going away then i hope you and yours stay safe! come september, we'll all be wishing that it was summer could go on and on. but for now, let's just bask in the summer sunlight. :)

STAY OUT OF TROUBLE AND DON;T FORGET TO SMILE! summer loving!
