It's Kind Of

It's kind of a funny feeling
The way I'm beginning to feel
The way I'm smiling at nothing
The way I'm feeling like it's real

It's kind of a goofy scene
As I'm dancing down the hall
I'm singing a little song in my head
Caring not if I start to fall

It's kind of a silly situation
As I'm falling into your arms
It's not something I'm used to
But it's working my heart like a charm

It's kind of a laughable reason
The way I'm acting about you
I'm loving this carefree feeling
It's been more then past due

It's kind of a giddy sensation
As my adventurous nature takes off
Suddenly life is forever engaging
Like a dream had by Cristophe

It's kind of a fluttering of butterflies
That are flying all about
They cause me to laugh at the simplest of things
Leaving no space, at all, to doubt

Dragon - Part 2 (The Finale)

What we had was nothing but a dragon.
I used to think it was real. Beautiful. Magical.
But now I see it was fake. Nonexistent. Just a myth.
I used to think that I wasn't okay about that.
But you know what?
I am okay with it.
I'm okay without you.
I'm more than okay, in fact.
I'm giddy.
I'm perfect.

I used to think that maybe we could try again later.
But why would I want that?
Why would I want someone who doesn't care?
I don't want that and I will never have that again.
I refuse to have that again;
Because I have control over my decisions.
And my ultimate decision...it's not you.
And it never will be.

I'm glad that I finally see that.
I wish I would've seen it sooner;
But then where would the learning experience be?
That's why you were put into my life.
So I could learn and see what I don't want.
What I shouldn't want.
That may sound harsh.
Okay...it is.
But that's life.
It's harsh, not fair, and challenging.
But...it's also perfect.

Everything that I've had to experience...I was supposed to.
I'm being tested.
I've had my fair share of trials.
But despite all that...
Life is perfect.
And it's perfect for me.
