Chapter Seventy-Nine - Back To December
I had been in the mall for some reason or another, I didn't quite know why, though I had found myself back in the old music store where Blaine and I would hang out occasionally, play some music and sing together.
I found my way to the guitar, the one you could play, and I almost couldn't stop myself from strumming.
POPPY
I'm so glad you made time to see me.
How's life? Tell me how's your family?
I haven't seen them in a while.
You've been good, busier than ever.
We small-talk, work and the weather.
Your guard is up and I know why.
Because the last time you saw me is still burned in the back of your mind.
You gave me roses and I left them there to die.POPPY with BLAINE
So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you, saying, "I'm sorry for that night,"
And I go back to December all the time.
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you.
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right.
I go back to December all the time.BLAINE
These days I haven't been sleeping,
Staying up, playing back myself leavin'.
When your birthday passed and I didn't call.POPPY
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times,
I watched you laughing from the passenger side.
And realized I loved you in the fall.BLAINE
And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was "Goodbye".POPPY & BLAINE
So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you, saying, "I'm sorry for that night."
And I go back to December all the time.
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you.
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind.
I go back to December all the time.POPPY
I miss your tanned skin, your sweet smile.
So good to me, so right.BLAINE
And how you held me in your arms that April night:
The first time you ever saw me cry.
