we sat on a bench next to an old couple
who's probably been in love forever
we walked in the grass
next to people walking dogs and little kids catching frogs
and I felt just like those kids

I felt innocent and vulnerable and I didn't care about anything
and those butterflies could have carried me for miles

I looked at her eyes
I looked at her shoes
I looked at her lips
I felt all the blues

I wanted to grab her sides but I didn't
I wanted to hold her close but I didn't
I wanted to tell her I love her but I didn't
I wanted to show her how I felt but I didn't

we laid in the grass with the wind blowing past
through the trees and past our knees
and I knew this wouldn't last
we listened to music with the sun shinning just right
I can still remember that window of light
and still to this day if I hear the right tune
I sit and pray and hope for the moon

but I don't want to think here alone in the dark
for too long I've been here, for too long I've stayed
for too long I've sat here and always played

played the songs that no one will hear
wrote the letters that no one will read
wrote the poems of my imagination
because through these words my heart does bleed
bleeds and breaths
and all I wanted was to show the world

because we all want are imaginations to be real
and feel the things that we wanna feel
and believe that are dreams could come true
and show the world that we feel more than we show
it's true in me and it's true in you

now I see her with a whole new life
and every time I do my heart corrodes
every time I do my heart explodes
I can't look at these eyes anymore
but when I do I drop to the floor
and only in my brain is where I see myself
going insane
removing from the plain

the plain of myself
and the plain of my soul
but I remember back and my life was not dull

so I say
thank you for the time
thank you for the rhyme
thank you for showing me that this world is still wonderful
and everyday is a gift
and everyday is another day that I can say

*I was there *******... I was there
