Catch me like snowflakes on the tip of your tongue Take me way back to they days we were young Flickering waves of nostalgia crash onΒ Β shores of my mind Regret rolls in then right back out much like the oceans tide Melding seamlesslessly into these rivers composed of tears The horizontal sea is darker and deeper than it appears Where your memories have drowned inside a wet washed up grave Staring back at photographs documenting love we couldn't save Your unconcious eyes have no longing for my smile Seeking to be with someone else for awhile Catch me My wings are too broken to fly Too late I find out when I am falling from the sky For I always seem to jump the gun before being fully prepared Which wouldn't be a problem if you had genuinely cared For just a few years ago your affection was solely mine to keep How could I not have noticed we were getting in too deep? Priorities out of order I guess we ran out of time And you stopped idolizing the person once considered so sublime And in your haste to discover something shiny and new You overlooked the treasure you had right in front of you
Appreciate what you have already. One day you might wake up and find out that you missed out on diamonds while you were mining for gold.
