time and time again

my heart was ripped apart in seconds

and it only took a few hours to be stitched up again.

those stitches won't stay

just like I know you won't.

you leave the conversations like deer,

you run down the road for miles

away from me.

I only want to talk to you

and I bet I could for days.

the heartbreak didn't have time to set it

until you fixed it all

and told me you actually care.

I like liking you

which seems so idiotic

and hopelessly romantic,

but it's true. 

that's why i'm afraid of all of this

but

I keep telling myself

crush the hope like a beetle

rip it into a million pieces

 

then I wouldn't cry 

when it comes to that time.

    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,
