I wish we started with tears For becoming strangers and no longer knowing the rhythm of the other's heart And moved to angry rants Spewing brand new feelings of hatred Though we're not sure where they came from Progressing to the closeness of intertwined bodies Always feeling the cadence of one another To being so in love That the thought of the other makes you flush with enamor Moving then to late night talks About life and the universe And flowers and chocolate Because what's more cliché? Then to sweet love Shown through holding sweaty hands And wanting to spend every moment in contact Then gradually spreading apart Becoming tentative but appreciating every time you touch Swallowing every word you ever said to them And letting theirs drain from your ears So that you drift safely away from each other I wish we started with tears And ended with "Hi, nice to meet you."

I Wish We Lived In Reverse
I wish we started with tears For becoming strangers and no longer knowing the rhythm of the other's heart And moved to angry rants Spewing brand new feelings of hatred Though we're not sure where they came from Progressing to the closeness of intertwined bodies Always feeling the cadence of one another To being so in love That the thought of the other makes you flush with enamor Moving then to late night talks About life and the universe And flowers and chocolate Because what's more cliché? Then to sweet love Shown through holding sweaty hands And wanting to spend every moment in contact Then gradually spreading apart Becoming tentative but appreciating every time you touch Swallowing every word you ever said to them And letting theirs drain from your ears So that you drift safely away from each other I wish we started with tears And ended with "Hi, nice to meet you."
