what once was
Talk to me in the shadows of dreams
In the soft excitement of keeping secrets
Meet me on the street corner
Kiss me in the back of the classroom
Then wink at the teacher like it never happened
Fall for me on the night of melting ice cream and skipping rocks
Fall in love with me under friday night lights and skinny dipping at the dock
Then turn around and give me a heartless tomorrow
Reminiscent of youth’s bravado
Moving on from late night drives and later night phone calls
Of passion forlorn, of memories
Moving on from making it work
From when we had tireless wings and promised forever
You scoffed
Told me we were too high school
And I let it be
My eyes a silent plea to stay
My voice yelling for you to go
