silence in the halls
your footsteps a tick of a bomb
i hear your nervous heart-pound pound pound-remembering the start
i glance away, you rush right past
the feelings may have faded away, but the memories, they last
the breeze between us, whiff my perfume and remember my scent
back when you loved me, when we went to bed so content
and when you pass me you must recall all the times in your head
when you promised me the other side of your bed
it still haunts me though, seeing your eyes shift with unease
such a big change from how they used to tease
but every time you pass I just know how i feel, it wasn't going to last
but what we had I still believe was real and so it goes
we pretend we are nothing more than strangers passing by, our sudden glows
drag my heart across the floor where your feet are quickly moving away, it falls
just a feeling we once knew
a silence in the halls
