I wish I could write down
how you make me feel
but I’m scared I’d go back
to it every now and then
and remember...

there are days
when i sit in daze
in my mind, on repeat
a phrase
is it a phase
or is it the start
of a maze?
i look for ways
to get out unscathed
it doesn’t work, not always

All this time
I thought
our souls reached
out to each other
But I now realise
it was our circumstances
that got us close
and as time moved on
you did too

I finally stuffed my qualms
in my oh! so sweaty palms
I walked up to you
and I said I do too

Never looked back
Anyway it all looks black
I only see colors
since touch did our fingers

Not that I need it
but when you say it
I believe it
better than when
you don’t say it

Oh resilient heart o’mine
You know you’ll be fine
We’ve loved with every ounce
He was nothing but a louse
Let the pain run through our veins
because I know we’ll love again

know that i still think about you
maybe not every day but i do
i think of what could have been
had i been too hasty at nineteen?
i guess we won't ever know
unless we give it another go
people say don't look back
look ahead and don't lose track
but you're part of my story
you're a chapter i can't just bury
