i love u to the moon n back

maze

I get dropped off at some arcade.
Walked into random people playing their games.
Probably recognized some friends there,
but the memory of it is too blurry to remember.

I find two friends playing a game of their own.
Whether it was ping pong or checkers, I can't decide.
It's like they had invited me all the way here-
just a regular day with the dudes, you dig?

It wasn't much longer
until things switched up,
and we waited in a long line for...
something.

One of y'all disappears now,
and now I'm stuck with you.
Took a while for me to get used to you
before we finally got to what we had been waiting for...
whatever it was....

Turns out it was some maze.
The sun was beaming above all of us,
shining brighter than gold.
Trees and branches hung about;
hiking trails guided our paths.
I still can't remember what it really was,
but it was some partner game
to get out of this maze.

Turns out I was still stuck with you.
We ended up getting along real well.
Casual, short, knew what's up-
it was as if we weren't finding a way out,
because we were just fine right here.

I wanna go back there-
back to a time where nothing mattered;
when everything was simpler;
when talking to you was easier;
when you were the one trying to reach out;
when we knew each other;
when I wasn't screaming inside;
when you trusted me....

Instead I woke up,
because it was yet another dream
related to my reality today.
I guess we really found our way out of the maze,
and we got out and parted in separate ways
like nothing mattered.

But I wanna go back
to the way it was before...

is that too much to ask?
