A penny for your thoughts,
God what I'd give for all of them.
Will you accept a dollar?
That's a hundred;
I want to know everything.
I don't even know where to begin...
Do you like sunrises or sunsets?
Do you ever lay in the grass outside with no shoes
like I do?
Do you take long walks
to think about life and your future?
Do you get lost
in the little stories that you make up in your head
right before you fall asleep?
Do you ever dream a dream soo wonderful
that you wish you hadn't woken up?
And this question is worth more than pennies;
do you ever think about her?
Do you ever think of the way she laughs,
or how it would break your heart
to see her cry?
Do you ever imagine
what your life would be like
with her by your side every step of the way?
Do you ever stay up late into the night
thinking about her?
Thinking about the color of her eyes,
or the expression on her face
seconds before she smiles?
That was a lot of questions,
what are they worth?
I'll give you all of my pennies
in exchange for your answers.
