I said I’ll love you later
Not now, I'm in the future
Hugged you for a moment, felt a pain of shame
Why were we playing a game?
I didn't know
Who were you really?
What a dreaded flame
That bursts when I repeat your name
In my mind a thousand times.
The reason my heart is shut to countless silver keys
Saw a glitter of gold in one,
Flicked to the floor
Our eyes grew darker, I’m sure.
Because I said I’ll love you later on,
If later ever comes
And if it doesn’t, know in my heart
The present wasn’t where I belonged.
