May 2017
It started with you at my doorstep,
and us lying together on the floor,
We didn't go all the way back then,
but you never asked me for more.

You had no ulterior motives,
My welcome was never outworn,
You had no problem spending time with me,
Watching movies and eating popcorn.

I used to wash your back in the shower,
and you would kiss my dripping throat,
but that back when all we needed,
Was our love to keep us afloat.

We both used to smoke every day,
With identical eyes, red and bloodshot,
But now you're clean because of your job,
So im the lazy one that smokes ***.

I wont forget snuggling on the couch,
With the tv playing in the background,
Our hands searching for eachother,
A long time after the sun went down.

Even when I had an attitude,
You didnt give up and say "we're through"
We always worked through everything,
If something threw our life askew.

Remember when you sang to me?
I can't get over your beautiful voice,
Ive never felt so special before,
Having you was a reason to rejoice.

Every moment we spent together,
Is a moment I wouldnt trade,
and I promise that I won't forget,
The memories, although they made fade.

This is your choice and I have to accept,
That you want us to go seperate ways,
but im a dreamer and will always
believe in that eight letter phrase.
