I remember when we first met
The Florida sun was beating onto the blacktop and my hair was plastered to my forehead but when I saw you my body turned to ice
They say love at first sight is nothing but a myth
Its for people who are shallow
But when our eyes connected, I could feel it
I fell in love with you instantly
The way your eyes were squinting against the sun and the way your hands looked soft but rough at the same time and the way you smiled like everything was going to be alright
We talked for hours each day that summer
You'd call me at 4 AM and I'd answer on the second ring because I could never keep you waiting
You would tell me about your family, how your mom isn't the same since your dad died and how she just sits on the couch most nights staring at the blank tv screen
Do you remember when you told me how you'd never say goodbye because it held too much finality, like the person was never coming back?
Love doesn't last, I know that now
Because after all those nights we spent laying in my backyard and all that talk about running away together
The last time I saw you it held some sort of finality. Maybe it was just the look in your eyes
Or maybe it was the way you said goodbye
