Did you really think you weren't
the brightest light in me?
Spent so long trying to close my eyes
I forgot how much
I loved to see you smile
So much excitement in a feeling;
loved to hold you on the street
and see you through the eyes of strangers
The curious stains of red
and lunch dates with our secret
Through online definitions
we found new ways to test a friend.
Woman slipping through my fingertips,
You were the most beautiful thing
I’d ever seen.
No, I didn't love you
the way I used to
but that never meant
I wouldn't miss you
