We were in high school.
You were my love, still are.

The day we fought, I remember how the bitter taste of anger heated my throat as I choked out those words I now dread.
The way your eyes turned all lightening and smoke
I regret so much
When you gave that last kiss, all stormy, arctic and flaming I died a little bit inside.

Why'd you leave me?
You swore we were forever.
You lied.
I said I hated you.
I lied.
All these swirling lies and hazy regrets
Sometimes I see the stars and all I see is you
An ache flows through my blue veins when your name is mentioned.
It's been four years.
And this stupid soul still believes that you will come home.
