and you listen to the whole song again just to hear that one line because it reminds you of me. of summer sun and bright blue swimming pools and cigarettes in trailers. of another time. don't act like you don't remember when you tapped on my window, sneaking in under the light of the moon and the shadows of the trees. stars blanketing a twilight sky and the early morning fog was the background of our mornings together. i remember the blinding stage lights i watched you play through, imprinted in my memory. they gave you a halo, made you look angelic. you were even more angelic when your lips were close to mine. sparks and fire and flaming desire, that was what we were. what happened? no more calls, no more us. i want to go back. i miss that. time to smile through the pain again, time to watch my heart break again, time to grit my teeth and talk to you even though it hurts worse than the hell of the fact that you loved me once. or you said you did. you wanted to. i'll never know the difference. small talk 'til we run out of words to say. this road only goes in circles. kind of like us.
