green eyes, soft curls and pouty lips,
a laugh that sets my heart afire,
with hand on my hips
and near touching lips,
i know that in my life,
i will never find a love the same
but to hold another to his standard
i know i am to blame

it was the tender age of eleven we first met,
gazes locked with tender smiles
and we danced around with no regret,
yet, i still left
for you were my sun, and I your moon,
i had to stay in your shadow to be in your light
but do not worry, I'll see you soon,
forever in your heart, if not your sight

"And on that day,
I had to walk away without looking back,
And my heart, with an ache that haunts me to this day,
Stayed in the palm of your hand,
Used as a reminder.

And you told me I was always welcome to come back to you.
