You were beautiful
You hold the heavens in your eyes
You spoke to me just once
Saying hello in that condescending way you do
I brushed your arm
I lied and said it was by accident
I watched you walk away
Relishing the way that you move
You turned back around
As I knew you would
Smiling slightly,
Just ever so slightly, and just for me
You nodded once
Your hair falling in whispers across your forehead
I recognized the look you wore,
I wore it too
You were thinking of who we once were
The memories like fire, lighting up your eyes
I smiled back,
Just slightly and just for you
Then you turned back around and left me behind
Not for the first time
And I turned around and left you behind
For the first time

You were beautiful
You hold the heavens in your eyes
You spoke to me just once
Saying hello in that condescending way you do
I brushed your arm
I lied and said it was by accident
I watched you walk away
Relishing the way that you move
You turned back around
As I knew you would
Smiling slightly,
Just ever so slightly, and just for me
You nodded once
Your hair falling in whispers across your forehead
I recognized the look you wore,
I wore it too
You were thinking of who we once were
The memories like fire, lighting up your eyes
I smiled back,
Just slightly and just for you
Then you turned back around and left me behind
Not for the first time
And I turned around and left you behind
For the first time
