In mutual misery, we found it comforting we weren't completely alone
We were planning, preparing and speaking and sharing, there was much we had yet to be shown
We harnessed our sadness, and all of our madness, and blinded and beat down our angst
But beneath our belligerence there was a persistent longing for future and change

We both were pent up, and fully fed up, and said 'we'll get the hell out of this town'
If just for a short time, we'll hop in and start driving west with intentions unknown and
Probably, maybe, we'll find ourselves saving ourselves by just waiting it out
It seemed so far away when we'd all move together and be happy at home in our house

And
Then out of nowhere, but probably somewhere deep down inside you found fate
You didn't look further than right where you were for her and I must admit you look great and
I can't let jealousy take hold of the best of me, don't think I am trying to blame
I remember you saying that this didn't matter, but now I see it's not the same

In the middle of all this, I was slipping unconsciously under the weight of my thoughts
I knew you'd been set free, and wanted to help me, but I knew not what I sought
I turned down the volume, and in turn was consumed entirely with what I should do
I imagined you smiling, while making new memories, and wanted the same for me too

Your time is now spoken for, not like it was before when weekends were spent working out the kinks
You need her, I know this, I'm trying to show this, with each word and each kiss, I'm missing it all in a blink
I'm sure I'll be ok, I feel better these days, I've learned to let go of my stress
I know in due time I'll be getting what's mine and we both will be at our best

So long story short, I wrote this to report, to say that we will always be fine
Let's try to forget, but have no regrets, and make the most of each moment in time
But try to remember, I'm always around, and want to come down, to the places where you plan to be
We'll share time together, in life and forever, in harmony eternally :)
