A song comes on, thudding through my eardrum
And suddenly, I’m flashing back to You,

(It’s one of our songs)

For those few moments I let myself succumb,
To the memories we shared, yet that’s all I can do

We tried,
and it wasn’t that it was wrong

But it wasn’t right

We’re just friends today
And I’m fine with that

But I still have the things I wanted to say
To you
Locked away

How I wanted to trace the curves of your cheeks
With my fingertips

How I would stay up with you for weeks
Just to hear you speak

How I wanted to kiss your soft lips
That taste like ash

How I loved you
Unbearably so

But we are so young

So for now,
I’m letting this song go unsung

Yet I can’t help
The way my stomach flips

When I hear that medley fall
From Ingrid Michaelson’s lips
