on and off and on again

The first time

I thought you were the one. 

I was just a silly kid

back then. 

 

I longed for no more fights,

and no more misunderstandings. 

But to be more than friends,

I didn't want to pretend. 

 

You didn't want me, 

only for your petty little things. 

You only cared enough to rant

about other people. 

 

The second time

I think we both knew. 

But we were scared to say the truth,

so we hid it behind other dates. 

 

All I longed was to dance with you,

not a girl that I picked last minute. 

I wanted you for a life time,

I just didn't know it yet. 

 

The third time

fell into crumbles. 

It broke over and over,

I didn't think it could be healed. 

 

I liked her,

you liked me. 

I don't like her, 

and now you hated me. 

 

Every time I saw you that year

you were in tears. 

And when I mentioned your name

you'd both push me away. 

 

The fourth time

bloomed like a lily or a rose. 

It started small,

but then we grew to like one another. 

 

We overcame our little spats, 

We pushed through the turmoil. 

You loved me, I loved you

I think we both knew 

us was timeless.

    We run back to your house,

    The lights are still on,

    And they cover your freckled face,

    Like it's the sun.

     

    The grass brushes our feet,

    And the wind catches in your hair,

    We sit out on the sand,

    The fog covers the sky,

    And blankets the world,

    Like a shield. 

     

    The waves nip at our feet,

    The water's cold

    But I'm warm because you hold my hand,

  • observation i

    We stand on the dock,

    The sun has set,

    But I can see your happiness 

    Even in the dead of night.

     

    The streetlight's on,

    The metal is all rusted

    And covered in salt,
