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
