I don't want a friend with benefits 

I want the benefit of having a real friend


I don't want to anticipate Summer

I want to enjoy the Summer I anticipated


I don't think about being skinny for the beach

I think about the beach with the black sand

Singing by the fire with a guitar by my hand


I don't cry my loneliness

I laugh at it and make it dance by the fireplace

Late at night under a pale moonlight


I don't think about drinking my pain away

I think about swimming in the ocean

Until the pain drifts with the waves


Sometimes, the way we see things

Can dictate how we feel

And I don't choose to feel bad

I try to see the best in every situation
