i threw away my map the day we met

and let my heart be my guide

(mainly so i'd have two free hands to place in your palms)

i found hawaii on your lips

and vegas in your hips

i bet on you

even though i'm not a

gambling man

you know what they say-

go big

or go home-

we went on a hell of a journey

(i never found a place to stay in your heart)

I threw away my map the day we met. Knowing the second my eyes saw you that there was no paradise; no buried treasure. That you, we're nothing but a crook swindling others for there money. Leaving them to die in some vast desert. So I kept walking right passed you leaving some other fool to fall for your trap. Because only a fool would believe in a poor map maker promising to guide them to buried treasures.

I threw away my map the day we met. I knew the minute that I saw you that my life would change. You walked over to me and asked me if I had plans and that was the first time I felt fire in my heart. It was the best feeling I had ever felt. We fell in love and when I got home I through away my maps because I knew when we were together we would never be lost.

I threw away my map the day we met. I'm still not sure if it was by choice. But there was something in you. Your eyes, maybe. Pulling me in. I guess when I was with you, we chose our own paths. And I don't know about you, but I've learned now, that sometimes it IS best not to stray off the path. Being with you was a terrible experience, a nightmare I just woke up from. Yet, you taught me so many life lessons, I wouldn't be who I was today. So yet I've been through so much suffering, and I'm scorching mad, I have to sit back and thank you. For all you did.

You always interested me. Kinda like the Taylor Swift song, the one that goes like "I knew you were trouble when you walked in" or something. Except I didn't think you were trouble. Just mysterious. It's KNOW that I finally realized you were trouble. And now I'm lying on the cold hard ground. But since I've hit it, I'm a hell of a lot wiser.

Yours never,

Evangeline

I threw away my map the day we met. I was so frustrated I didn't even stop to think that I'd be even more lost without it. That's why I ended up driving up to him.

"Hey, do you know where Lemon st is?" I asked.

He turned around and had a smile on his face that seemed so natural I couldn't stop looking. Anyways, things turned out alright and I guess getting lost was the only way to find him.
