I'll be damned you think you can win that easily
It's true your words captivate and tease me
I can't even lie that you make my breathing uneasy
Reach out and seize me
believe me
you won't lose me that easily
Even after a decade some echoes still hit a resounding truth
Rewinds time to remind us of the intense fallacies of youth.
Memories of the commotion
of our oceans
of emotions
flood open
Reminiscing
on missing
the transmission
of your missive of bliss
when we were kissing
Not going to think too hard on what created its absence.
I know there wasn't enough forgiveness in you to handle my lack of sense
For reasons I can't fathom
it's a relief to kick through the embers of this old fire
Watching cameras roll from our finest hour toward where it all went sour
To you now I might as well be a name on a headstone, because you buried me years ago
I've tried hard to do the same
because we both know you're happier when you don't remember my name
