We Already Knew

We already knew,

The world was hopeless.

The times came with song

And weren’t meant to be loved

We grew with feelings in our chest

We didn’t know.

Until we were older

We weren’t meant for this.

We could fly or fight along

But no matter how much we give,

The posters fall off the wall

And now we are here.

Now it’s here

The hours seem too far.

And the hands don’t reach

Like phone calls do.

I can promise long rides,

And I’ll wait for you.

You’re not your sister.

I wish your sister wasn’t your sister.

When the summer sets,

I will miss you.

But years and years ago,

We already knew.

Bless
