Two summers ago, you were a floating sunset and I was an ocean breeze
And we crashed and collided head on like the panic and fury of storm waves on a white shore
Your passion and my faith were two north poles that broke every law of attraction
And every starry night we spent on blankets out on the lawn broke my heart a little because you were beautiful but I was blind
I told you that I loved you and I knew you wore your heart on your sleeve and breaking our hearts was a chance I was willing to take
But then I got greedy and
Our suddenly behaving north poles found it harder to break the rules
Your passion didn’t allow for commitment and my faith didn’t allow for short term
Short lived I think is what I’d call our love
Too fast, too soon, too loud and too strong
But not strong enough
