You sang me John Mayer in my ear
Eyes half-closed from drunken drowsiness
And happiness
I teetered and tottered, young next to you
A little rambunctious and uninhibitedly grinning
Into your pupils, black holes swimming in blue
It was not electric or chemical or explosive
It was unpredictable but apparent
It was real and it was raw and it was sweet
Your whispers linger in my heart still
The tender caress of your hand
Urgency and gentleness
I chose to leave
It was my decision
I understand this
And I know I a built a wall, claimed the title of introvert
But you know as well as I do
It meant something
One day you'll be famous and you'll have everything
You ever dreamed of, exactly like you planned
Your hopes, your ambitions, the one
And I will too, though I waver on that belief right now
I'll be wonderful too
And in the back of my mind, I imagine you will still remember the sweetness
