The Things We've Done

The night we meet

We sat in that field

Sharing cigarettes and stories

I told you of my heart ache

And you listened

 

The weeks onward

When we fell in love

And we dreamed and we planned

Marry me in Thailand, you said

But I knew, by then, when you were lying

 

And then away you went

Across the world, to another world

And I was lost

My life became longing and heart ache again

But you were still listening

 

Still I lost myself further

Drowning in the dark

I listened to another

Taking advantage of my heart

I hurt you, I hurt you

 

And we met again

Eyes locked together in that foreign city

Walking streets together as if,

As if we were the only two left in this world

You listened and you forgave

 

Back in our home

We combine our things

Build a nest, build a sanctuary

Where we lived peacefully and lovingly

And then we didn't, not at all

 

So much has happened in these small two years

My mind is ill, I can't comprehend

Everything is sour, its all such a mess

My heart is still aching

But your not listening

This night we met, my friends and I

Sharing cigarettes and stories

They told me of their heartache

And I realised, I should have really appreciated you

My mind is ill, my mind is ill

Notes

Don't even know if this makes sense, I'm just typing.

Not very subtle for those on here that know me personally.

But its not like I ever leave the house anymore so I wont see you around.
