i am in love with the fruit just out of my reach
and though i could wait for it to fall
i know it would be rotten by then
i’ve had visions of our romance; in night, in sleep
holding the secret of our memories in my mind
but they’re all visions, not mine to keep
they’re all trying to tear us apart
he’s trying to convince you to leave
all because i said he couldn’t take my purity
and that wildcat started rumors about me
he made up things i said
so you would view me badly
but please, my starlight, don’t stop shining
though i know you’ll leave eventually
just not right now
he is pouring water on your dimming fire
he is your favorite tree, but
that branch is lifting you higher
i never thought someone could not know what the word “no” means
