they said it's just reckless youth's fire
that we were still naïve and only dreaming
they told us love's a well-dressed liar
she taunts you, leads you in, then leaves you screaming
but the day i saw you across the dimly-lit chicago bar
your eyes searched, read constellations in mine
with a "thanks" drawled in your leather-chocolate voice you set down your guitar
hopped off the stage to me, caressed my cheek with a warm hand and leaned in as if pleading "give me a sign"
i couldn't resist you, baby, your addiction and its sweet appeal
kisses laced with nicotine and tempting smiles
and i'll never forget the way you made me feel
that day you swore "we'll run away one day, miles and miles"
you said you were a musician but you played my heartstrings
around you there's static hot in the air
you liberated me, gave me my wings
and the world couldn't compare
there are so many songs and tunes
but it was my name you chose to croon
when i asked you why, you simply said
"it's you i wanna serenade"
i promise, one day there'll be no one to tell us no
we'll be free one day - that day we'll go
paint stars out of bright city lights
it'll be just you, me, and the diamond stars tonight
A/N: hey y'all haha i'm really really happy with the way this one turned out because i haven't been seriously writing for quite a while now and i'm honestly so pleased with my first attempt after a little hiatus!! i don't usually write about love in such a grounded way as well - usually whenever i write about love it's very idea-based and dark so,,,yeaH basically this poem is a first for me in many ways so do tell me what you think!! thank you love y'all ❤️
