Crying Skies, Rain And Discarded Memories

right beside you

You smell like the pillow that I cried my eyes into,

You make me feel like I'm twirling in brand new shoes 

You taste like strawberries and old spices,

And I lost myself halfway through.

You feel like I've known you half my life,

You sound like my ex did minus the twisted smile.

You came into my life and turned it all around,

And I've lost myself now.

You were someone I last looked for within the pages of my middle school diary,

You were the someone I had hoped to become but then you found me.

You were the epiphany I had never thought would happen in my life,

But now you’ve set me aside.

And now we're just friends, and you’ve had your revenge,

And I'm walking out of your house thinking this is the end.

And I saw you kiss your roommate outside your beach house,

When you thought I was gone but I was sitting right beside,

you.

Yes you smelled like old books and cheap white wine,

You tasted like cigarettes you never smoked while I was around,

And you never cut your hair cause I liked it long,

But now you're gone.

And you reminded me of my childhood crush,

And you told me to take it slow then you wanted to rush,

And maybe all you ever wanted was to get me in bed,

And I could have left but I stayed instead.

And now we're just friends, and you’ve had your revenge,

And I'm walking out of your house thinking this is the end.

And I saw you kiss your roommate outside your beach house,

When you thought I was gone but I was sitting right beside,

you.

You smelled like coffee and cheap cologne,

And you were the only person I wanted to meet when I was home,

And you never lit up the room but you lit of my life,

Yet you kissed her while I was right beside,

you.
