Too Busy for Love

I've got things to do
Got places to be
Too busy for love
Why can't you see?

Got papers to write
And projects to do
Too busy for love
No time for you

Got meetings today
And meetings next week
Too busy for love
No time to go seek

Got work to pay bills
And class to attend
Too busy for love
Or so I pretend

I've got life to live
Memories to make
Too busy for love
For goodness sake

Twenty-four hours
In a single day
"Two busy for love"
It's easy to say

But wait, there's more
To why I'm not free
I guess I'm afraid
Of falling, you see

Scared to fall in love
Scared to fall for you
Or to fall at all
I admit, it's true

So I'll fill my time
With things I could do
To be too busy
For you to pursue

Got no time to fall 
So my heart won't break
Protecting myself
For my own sake

I've got things to do
Got places to be
Too afraid to love
Is re-al-i-ty

Love,
Jasmine Win

Nothing Left to Say

I pretend I didn't see you
And so I glance the other way
But it's not because I hate you
But there's just nothing left to say

I can't tell you how my day went
Or how I'm stressed down to my bones
I can't tell you how I miss you
Or how it's strange being alone

I can't tell you my adventures
Within the past couple of days
All the bad things and the good things
So I've got nothing left to say

I'll pretend I didn't see you
And so I'll walk the other way
But if you call out my name then
I'll force a smile and say "Hey"

But I know that you won't do it
And that you'll also look away
Because that's easier to do
Then forcing out something to say

So we'll pretend we never saw
And we'll go on our separate ways
I guess that's how it's meant to be
In the final breakup phase

Love,
Jasmine Win
