Our paths split in two. You chose space and I chose to create. But now it’s too late, because I blew off our fate, and it wasn't like you to wait. But I wanted to call and say happy belated, I hope you've done everything to make it. But the blue in your eyes was never something I could give up, I couldn't just shake it. So I started to fake it. In hopes that maybe you waited.
But everything we had has faded. It’s black and white, we’ve lost the delight, and maybe you’re right. It wasn’t me and it wasn’t my fault. But now that I’m an adult, and I am not afraid to go out alone and go on...

It wasn’t more than just a thought.
Or maybe I should keep this current by pacing and say that rather- it isn’t more.
There was something about the way the sunshine hit your eyes that made me think.
I promise it’s not your fault that I shut out to figure out my mind.
But, I keep having this thought and it follows me like the sun.
You’re pushing through my doubts and I’m painting a rose colored path.
You are waiting on the other side but covered with your clouds.
The purity you hide has left me weeping because you let me feel your passion.

Only comes around in the lows.
Makes you feel so great but never grows.

Just keep picking up the petals,
Until it finally settles,
My hell you’re speaking in riddles.
Don't say it was the affection you never showed.
You can’t keep messing up, and sorry we are closed.
All the roses have been sold to the ones a little less cold.

Today I thought of you.

But I don’t know why I’m so surprised, because it happened yesterday too.

And the days before.. it’s been weeks to months, and next year it will be number four.

And another after that I’m sure.

It’s like I can hear your footsteps at the door.

I’m staring out my window and sitting on the floor, looking for you in that stupid white shirt you always wore.

In your favorite black jeans, packing one but saving it for me to hit the greens.

In those shoes I bought for you, so I can see you turn...
