The Story of Us

The Day I Died

Your smile

Your rock band t-shirts

The way your hair falls perfectly on

Your face

With hands of a trained guitarist

Body of a man

Heart of a child

A soul of a cowboy

We finally found each other

Our eyes lock

The look of recognition on our faces

Are you the one in my dreams?

The one I was too shy to say hello to

Back in our childhood

When girls had cooties

And the snacks and juices boxes flowed

Yes

You were the one playing pretend

Too lost in your fantasy world

To notice my gaze

But finally you noticed

You smiled at me and my heart fluttered

You whispered my name

The world was still

The day you asked to see me again is

The day I fell

Our love grew fast

When I fell you not only caught me but

You carried me like a wounded dove in your arms

My heart was safe with you

I had no worries about who we were

The poison in your heart

Struck hard and fast

You left me

To taste dust

I felt the earth quake beneath me

The day it all went down

My advisor told me the news

I was cut down

The crown of jewels

Replaced with thorns

It was me or you

You had made your choice so

I made mine

Forced to choose the paths

between safety and happiness

I walked on

You're the wound that won't heal

No matter the stitches

No matter the medicine

You found a way inside and

You won't go away

So now I'm left with memories

Of the day my heart fluttered

When you smiled at me and

Whispered my name to the breeze

The day I lost myself in you
