The Starry Eyed Girl

There was something in the way that she made him feel so foolish, like an old man desperately clinging to any illusion of youth. He knew full well that it was pointless, futility at its finest, but that something pushed him forward nonetheless. Her innocence was her most attractive quality to him, it drew on his starry-eyed memories in a way that only bourbon had before. But where the bourbon left him forlornly apathetic, she left him longing; longing for a way to capture the gaze of those starry-eyes. Longing to believe that such notions belonged outside of Hollywood and his dreams. Longing for time, itself, to rip in twain and leave him as something more than an old fool.

there is nothing more beautiful than an innocent woman
true to the bone
somehow the world becomes beautiful in her presence people change their ways
i known a lady like this
she was beyond gorgeous
she always will be in my eyes

[Jonny The Savage]

I'm glad you agree.
I think it's at least an alright character piece.
It kind of reflects that, I think.

[B]

Yeah
She must be someone you are fond of

[Jonny The Savage]

Yeah, she is.
Although I'm not sure we really even talk these days.
It is as they say: "time makes fools of us all."

[B]

maybe she is waiting for you to call

[Jonny The Savage]

Perhaps.
I don't imagine it though lol.

[B]

you never know
you know i wait
but i never tell
to see how someone would react
so its genuine
like if he really wants to be there he will call

[Jonny The Savage]

lol I'm more of the belief that you should try to meet people half way.
Sometimes I act similarly, just to make sure someone isn't trying to take advantage of me.
But genuine relationships are what really makes the world go round.
At least for me.
And pretty girls, with beautiful minds that paint well.
Just can't get away from that archetype lol.
