we were together
running outside in the recess yard
sneaking out for warmer weather
to escape the crowd
if you want to stay lovers
i don't mind, it's whatever

i'm not your type
too temporary and young is our love
but i would bear any strife if i could
breaking my bones to be tall enough
sacrificing the familiarity of my hometown to be seen with you

i thought we could be forever
you would brush my hand in public
but you think to be close friends is better
than, for my love only, to risk it

i will embrace your casual embraces
call your name
with the tenderness of my disapproving parents calling my own
leaving you without a disgraced paramour
to go to them who do not know of the mere story of us

that you have broken me
so delicately
that i do not fault you for my cracks

but would you please chip down my walls again?
it is a welcome pain
that i yearn to want to sway with someone

but the only desire i have is to crumple into your arms like paper
my ardour left for only songs to understand
i cannot bid goodbye to the memories
as i bid you farewell too early
