Fake You Out.

Old Flame

It was a beautiful tranquility the way your eyes once held mine. 

I remember our first very awkward conversation

We spoke for the first time over the phone

As childish as it sounds, I immediately felt connected

I suppose it couldn't have been anything but childish

We were just children after all

A few years later when we were teenagers you looked at me and smiled

We stared at the stars and you knew then that you were still in love with me

Everything moved so fast, but I had no intention to stop it

Then came all the anger, the danger, and the lies

I remember when we stopped talking and it was your decision, not mine

But when you felt lost you begged me to listen, so I sat there and held your hand

Three years passed since I last heard your voice and now we are both adults

I passed you in a store once and my heart fluttered

An inconsistent beat that reminded me of the little connection we once had

Although I know you are bad for me, I will always pray that you are okay

I may no longer feel the connection, but I know if I ever see you I will feel the flicker of an old flame
