Punished for walking away too many times,
You arms is around another.
She laughs at your smiles, and touches your hand,
And while you mouth says “happy”, your look is far off.
Our eyes meet through a room of sweat and facades,
And quickly, they part.
I flash back to a time, when the only thing we saw was each other.
All that mattered was how quickly we could be tangled in my sheets.
In a bed not so far off, he brushes hair out of my face and pulls my lips to his.
You jump into my mind, and soon I’m not with a stranger, but with my friend.
He is kind. He is sweet. He is good.
He is everything you aren’t,
And everything you were.
Back to the night where nervous hearts meet fickle eyes,
I meld my body to yours for the first time in too many days,
Letting the noise push us into a rhythm that feels foreign and familiar.
Unsure of how far is too far, eventually we are unable to stop it.
You hide from the cold in the warmth of my heart,
And even thought you fight it,
She was just steps away from me.
You chose my door to walk through.
Regardless of the way you run from us,
The night washes over you,
Filling you with memories of our laughter,
And you squeeze under the sheets where we began.
So just like the moon wanes and waxes,
It eventually will become full again,
Just like us.
Full circle, I’ll ride this ride until you are back where you belong,
For I learned my lesson the second you were gone,
And don’t intend on losing you again.
