Summer's Gone Now, Girl.

I remember the day we met,

The stinging sensation of butterflies creeping my bones.

And I remember the satisfaction I held in my hands

While we conversed and collided under the galaxies.

Nothing could brake or take the rush I felt,

as the acid slipped from the paper-- through my entirety and beyond.

 

The shallow waters we rowed in, ended up thrashing about

splintering and sinking, the very boat we'd created.

The water we tread here caused over-thinking,

and from there our potential had drown.

 

Nothing here could ever explain,

the way I felt when I heard you say,

"We just don't feel the same"

 

While the tune was perfectly set,

the timing was not it-- yet

and the things I said to you were real,

And we felt ourselves get higher.

 

As the music and movement began to blur,

The alcohol caused my words to slur,

Atop the hill, I wanted to reach... grab a hold of and squeeze,

But it was never enough to reach you.

I was never enough reason to change your mind.
