With intimacy fueled eyes
Surprisingly I seemed to compromise
Intangible to see from the outside
Deep down all we wanted was to be side-by-side
Â
Everyone’s opinion took a toll
Though the pieces felt right whole
Brown eyes and a similar working mind
Thinking, speaking, all perplexingly impossible around you
Just shivers,eye contact aplenty too
Â
Our minds in a rhythm and rhyme
Suddenly your hand was in mine
Your warmth brightened me
Just for a second I saw everything we could be
Â
Differences were clearly there Neither of us even cared
Kisses he missed
His presence was a risk
Like tater tots I couldn’t resist
He like a bowl of batter
I must whisk
Â
Still when you think you have it all
You ask yourself, “Will it be different by fall?”
Young and completely free
You think, “Is this where I’m supposed to be?”
Â
Love so sweet, so pure, so true
Is there a different love out there for you?
Questions that never left my head
Which is how this love comes to an end
Â
You’re marked in my mind
Felt more and would always hide
Special place in the heart
Even when I know it’s not smart
Â
Recounting and replaying mistakes
Thinking it’s a failure as deep as the lakes
For it’s you I could never hate
Even if this isn’t our fate
Â
Maybe now we’re better off
Just having love doesn’t always pay-off
It’s not what we need as we grow
Similarities and security should be our woes
Â
Self-reflections become an ordeal
Something I didn’t know I could truly feel
They always say I’m better off
It’s better to have loved than lost *cough*
Â
We ask ourselves these universal truths
Hoping to find the answers like straw wrappers stuffed in a booth
You understood me, I understand you
Now it’s time to drink a cold brew.
