simplicity
i think if you were here
we could go find a dry spot in the grass
and we could pretend that we were okay
i promise i won’t notice the moody tone in your voice
or the way you always look at me like you don’t love me anymore.
and i could see you smiling at me
and i could smile back too
we could kiss each other and look past it
but what good would it do?
you say i’m the greatest
but you tell me you’re a liar.
you used to make me feel so perfect.
now you’re just a broken wish
and i wanted to be with you so bad.
i wanted this to last for so long.
but nothing comes true anymore.
even love fades away
(and how quickly?!)
we’re dancing clumsily up the steps
to a bedroom filled with close-lip kisses.
and a sloppy, undressing scene.
we’re falling onto the bedspread
and i look in your eyes
you can’t bring yourself to look into mine.
sometime i’ll move on.
someday you’ll be gone.
but i can’t bring myself to look away.
