That Cold Soccer-Season Day

I can still see you walking towards me

With those wide open arms

That held me tight that day

That set off ringing alarms.

And I can still feel that kiss

It’s on the brink of going away

I remember how your face lit up

That cold soccer-season day.

It was right after your game

I kissed you on the cheek

I owed that to you

It made my knees weak.

But I couldn’t keep on wishing

That something good would come out of it

It took too long for me to see

For me to even admit.

That it wasn’t what I wanted,

Nothing at all like I planned

I wanted so badly to be yours

But my wish wasn’t my command.

We weren’t true or just

It was just something silly

That’s how it seemed you thought of it

Something that wasn’t really.

But I can still see that day

As clear as it could be

It’s right there in my head

Right where I can see.

It’s probably my fault

That it all went wrong anyway

But it’s over with now

So I’ll just remember and pay.
