I think-- well, I think that's okay t'put in a song. Y'know, the feeling of not knowing how to say it. Music's more than just words on a page that you read.
[His face softens as he looks down at his sketchbook.]
I get that too. Most of these haikus are me just... tryin' to come to terms that it's even real.
It almost feels like cheating to just say that, though?
[She bites her lip- glancing at the bare snippets in her own notebook.]
You know... I've been a little jealous of you. Really happy too, and glad she has somebody so nice but... it's not that I mind having somebody else love her, but you're so, I mean, you're a really great person, and I've hurt her, and I can be pretty selfish and bad at reading the mood and... I'm happy for you and her, but I'm afraid that she'll never really love me back. That one day she'll realize I'm not worth it. But, ah, I just worry about everything. That's how I am. It's how she is too, so be mindful of that, and take care of her.
I... really don't think I'm anywhere near as good as you're makin' me out to be. I've made her cry, for fuck's sake. I'm just as selfish.
'Cause in the end, I'm just stupid and reckless - even when I know she'll worry, I just stop thinking and let my blood run wild. And now I just straight up turn into a demon gone berserk - one that hurts her - when she needs me most.
She's the reason I even learned how t'be kind. I've never thought for a single moment that I deserve someone like her.
...Sorry to bring all of this up. I, ah- I remember you telling me about some of that, and, ah, I saw what happened to you. This too is me being self-absorbed, isn't it? I just, um, really doubt myself, and hate myself sometimes and I've hurt her with my inability to communicate and, ah, we're taking it a little slow trying to rebuild things, but I'm afraid I'll mess it up again and I'll be all alone because I'll drive off everybody.
S-Sorry again, I... I don't know where this came from. I just had to get it off my chest to you, that I felt that, that I'm scared that you'll have her and I won't at all, but- still, you're my friend too.
[Griffin looks her straight in the eye, because he wants her to know he's speaking from the heart:]
Hey. Lionness-- I wanted t'do this song with you because I want her t'have you. There's no version of this where I'm just gonna let you beat yourself up over shit that might not ever happen.
You spend too long staring at yourself, you're gonna miss all the moments you should've spent holdin' onto those important things in your life. After they took Harpy, all I could think was... the fuck was I doin', letting her think I hated her for so long? Why didn't I spend more time with her, or get that rematch?
Maybe things'll fuck up in the future. I dunno. Or maybe she'll be gone tomorrow and you'll hate yourself even more for bein' too scared to ever act. Doesn't matter if it's awkward and you fumble the whole thing, it's better than waiting forever t'be perfect and missing the chance.
Re: 168 morning!!!
I only went with haiku 'cause Amaranth said it was traditional. But we're not exactly doin' that either way.

Re: 168 morning!!!
What sort of instrumentals do we want? Like, we'll each play while the other sings a stanza, maybe?
Re: 168 morning!!!
If we both do a chorus, it'll have to be guitar.
Re: 168 morning!!!
Re: 168 morning!!!
Hey, don't apologize. You're probably way better with that instrument than I am with mine.

Re: 168 morning!!!
Can you do We Will Rock You?
Re: 168 morning!!!
I'd need to practice that one, anyway.
Re: 168 morning!!!
Still, that was fucking cool. I only know a few chords right now--

Re: 168 morning!!!
Why don't we just focus on writing, for now?
Re: 168 morning!!!
I want them to be write. I want it to really convey how I feel, how important she is to me. I-I... I really love her. It's hard to put into words.
