The Story of Us
Here was a girl who laid her heart upon the earth
and clasped her wrists with dusted skies
of denim beds and star-struck eyes
-
Who kissed you quickly, then, good bye
And drew you swiftly in lullabies
-
She danced upon the skin you let
Sit right above her messy bed
She told the world about your smile
Just right before she ran a mile
-
And took away
The love you thought
Would carry you
From wars unsought
-
Here was a boy so crisp, it’s true
He holds your hand as if he’s looking right at you
And grabs your heart right by the sleeve
And plays your song right on repeat
-
There is no wave that’s gotten closer
And none has braved his soul that’s bolder
And thicker
And brighter
Than any moon will ever be
I looked upon him
But he couldn't see me
-
Here is my heart I swear it’s true
After all this time, it’s still with you
Sitting right by the corner
Where it had been left
There is no other
One that could connect
-
If there had been patterns
and passwords
and puzzles of any sorts
I had run out of keys
I no longer have retorts
-
Just hello again,
and how have you been?
While the moon still shines,
Won’t you let me in?
