Last night you loved me
we hadn't yet fought
we hadn't yet broken hearts

I hadn't yet blamed you
You hadn't yet left me

Last night there was only us
I hadn't yet kissed another's lips
I hadn't yet turned away a second chance

You weren't ignoring me
You weren't disgusted with me

Last night I dreamt it all away
our fights, our broken hearts
our hurtful words, our feeling of loathing

It was so easy to get to know you.
Almost like the stars lined up and brought our worlds together.
How cliche, but that's how easy it was.

It was so easy to be with you,
like we had been together before.
That summer could have been the start of an eternity with you.
That's how easy it was.

Talking about the past, the present, and the future was so easy we could have been telling the stories to old friends.

It was so easy to be apart because we knew we would both be coming back to each other at the end of the day.
There was never fear or concern if you were late.
It was so easy to trust you.

It was too easy in those two months to fall in love,
but we both knew you would leave.

It was easy when you drove away the first time.
We knew we would see each other again soon.
Keeping in tough was easy with phone calls and letters.

It wasn't easy when you drove away the second time.
I knew you wouldn't call back and that I'd never get a letter in return.

It wasn't easy a year later when I ran into our old friends or when his eyes reminded me of yours.

It was too easy to fall for you under all the stars.
It was too easy to let you in with the warm summer breeze.
It was all too easy to be so heartbroken when it came to an end.

I
though I
saw you board
the plane but it
was just my imagination. I
close my eyes and pretend it
was you and you turn around to
say that you're sorry, that you still love
me but it's not you, you're not her. I
open my eyes to the years and memories fall.

the cold air
seeped through the denim
the seat of my jeans.
the damp ground
warmer than your eyes
looking into my soul.

looking at you
in that moment
i knew i'd never
forget that feeling.

the rain fell
all around us
forming puddles.
the clouds broke
basking the hurt
in new light.

in one summer storm
in one cool afternoon
in one blink of an eye
in one bitter heartbreak.

the taste of salt
lingering on lips
mixing with acid rain.
blurred vision
clearing up
like the weather.

i sit alone
on the soaked earth
on my empty bed.
i cry surrounded
by memories
by the storm

that was you.
