everything changed

You were there,

all seven years. 

You followed me around,

like a little puppy dog. 

You'd ask me to the dances,

and say I was pretty. 

You'd compliment my every move, 

even though you were rejected. 

 

And then the holiday came, 

and I was alone. 

I had no where to go, 

no place I could call home. 

You were off with your friends, 

having the best of Christmases. 

And I was eating alone,

I felt so alone. 

 

I realized then, 

you were something I took for granted. 

I realized that 

you were someone that I wanted. 

And in the time you were gone, 

I grew an obsession. 

Just like the one, 

you had grown over me. 

 

And when the holiday was over, 

it hurt to see your face. 

I'd knew I had rejected you too many times,

to ever have a chance. 

And as the last year came to a close, 

I took a shot. 

And as the story goes, 

we both ended up obsessed, 

with a cat,

and a home, 

that I would call mine forever.

    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,
