With intimacy fueled eyes
Surprisingly I seemed to compromise
Intangible to see from the outside
Deep down all we wanted was to be side-by-side
Everyone’s opinion took a toll
Though the pieces felt right whole
Brown eyes and a similar working mind
Thinking, speaking, all perplexingly impossible around you
Just shivers,eye contact aplenty too
Our minds in a rhythm and rhyme
Suddenly your hand was in mine
Your warmth brightened me
Just for a second I saw everything we could be
Differences were clearly there Neither of us even cared
Kisses he missed
His presence was a risk
Like tater tots I couldn’t resist
He like a bowl of batter
I must whisk
Still when you think you have it all
You ask yourself, “Will it be different by fall?”
Young and completely free
You think, “Is this where I’m supposed to be?”
Love so sweet, so pure, so true
Is there a different love out there for you?
Questions that never left my head
Which is how this love comes to an end
You’re marked in my mind
Felt more and would always hide
Special place in the heart
Even when I know it’s not smart
Recounting and replaying mistakes
Thinking it’s a failure as deep as the lakes
For it’s you I could never hate
Even if this isn’t our fate
Maybe now we’re better off
Just having love doesn’t always pay-off
It’s not what we need as we grow
Similarities and security should be our woes
Self-reflections become an ordeal
Something I didn’t know I could truly feel
They always say I’m better off
It’s better to have loved than lost *cough*
We ask ourselves these universal truths
Hoping to find the answers like straw wrappers stuffed in a booth
You understood me, I understand you
Now it’s time to drink a cold brew.
