Lost In Memory

(Inspired by the song, "August" by Taylor Swift)


The salty air

And cool breeze

Beneath my hair

And the secret sleaze


I remember thinking

I once had you

But it was just me hoping

That you loved me too


I never wanted more

And it was enough

Just by your front door

But it was tough


The bedsheets twisted

But you couldn't choose

When you're all I wanted

You weren't mine to lose


Like a bottle of wine

You slipped away

Never really mine

Even for just a day


Lost in memory

Of days turned nights

My drunken misery

Of my winless fights


I once pulled in

Revving my car

Asking you to get in

But your mind was far


Got my plans on cancel

Hoping you'd call

I remember so well-

Meetings behind the mall


Just when I thought

It was for the better

The one thing I fought

Hoping we'd end together


So much for saying

There'd be you and I

It was just me believing

Another sweet lie
