Bogged down and stained with dirt from my past
you washed me clean, I sparkled at last.

You gave me hope, you made me smile
forget "an inch" I gave you a mile.

You reminded me that the sky is blue
you showed me happiness I never knew.

We ran away into the night
with you by my side, everything felt right

We drove into the sunset
with nothing but our pasts to forget.

We were young, we were in love
hand in hand, the sky above.

Wind in our hair, passion in our hearts
nothing coud have torn us apart.

Singing the words to our favorite songs
through it all we stood tall and strong.

Bowing to no one, not even the wind
together forever there is no end.
I don’t know if I’m happy;
because I didn’t remember right away,
Or upset;
because I definitely feel weighted.

“It’s just a number,” I reassure;
just a number and just a boy,
And everything;
(Almost everything) that I’m missing.
That I lost.

I don’t know if I like that I;
remember, as I do,
Or if;
I like the privacy of it.
Of knowing.
Of you not knowing.

I do feel something, I don’t feel safe;
in the knowledge that I’d still take you back,
But you’ll never ask.

Broken and left,
but left by force
And now it's murky,
I can't see the course.

With you, without you,
You think you know better
But my feelings are contained,
in an unwritten letter.

The communication age,
is too much for me to bear
There's nothing I can do,
Without a reminder of you there.

In one way, in all ways,
in any way you can
You're sorry, you love me,
I'm ruining our plan.

I'm trying to keep sane,
Trying to just stay alright
But I feel like I'll surrender,
to the weakest of your fights.

I'm supposed to just go back to you,
Cause you've got "so much left to give,"
"You can't just move on,
and forget the life we planned to live."

I haven't forgotten
You've just turned it rotten
(c) Katie Eustace, 2011
Though the tides still turned
my heart and soul burned
when I thought that "We:"
*will most likely never be...
