Home By Now, Dwyane (Imagine)

Heard that you
Were selling your piano
And your car
Feels so weird to not reach
Out and ask you how your are
Wonder if your moving
Or if money is just that
Tight
These are the kinds of questions
To which I resign my rights
Ever since.... I decided....
There were things.... That I needed..
That you.... Couldn't give... To me...
But I'm still wondering-

Dwayne wrapping his arms around a girl he's been seeing for a couple weeks now, blowing out smoke from a cigarette he's been craving all night. Looking to the girl under his arm, her long dark chocolate brown hair, her eyes just as dark as the beautiful locks that fell down her back. Looking at her details as he admired the blush of her lips and the pale of her skin as she talked to some other girl and laughed.

Not being able to help but compare her to a certain someone, a certain girl that he couldn't seem to stop thinking of. Of course that certain someone was walking by on the other side of the busy downtown street, Y/N.
She couldn't look more deep in thought as she walked to her vehicle, deep thoughts that he couldn't reach out and ask about anymore. He didn't have the right to ask her that kind of stuff, he didn't have a right to pry in her business anymore, it wasn't any of his business anymore. It was a weird to not know what she was up to anymore, quite frankly it gave him an empty feeling in his chest.


Would we have turned a corner
If I had waited?
Do I need to lower my expectations?
If we'd kept heading
The same direction
Would we be home by now?
Now I don't know if I would
Have been okay with
Holding out hope for your
Stack of rainchecks
If I'd been able to grin and
Bear it
Would we be home by now?
Home by now

He couldn't help but still have his moments of questions, questions that if he would have just seen where they're relationship would have went. Would it have been too much longer, would he have had to wait just one more day.... Or a year for things to turn around.

But have you ever heard about
When a person's in a maze
They would tend to
Walk in circles thinking
They were going straight
They can't see the bigger
Picture, so they get stuck
In a loop
In the end I was afraid
That that's what you
And I would do
But I still..... Have my moments
Where Every reason...
Feels .. a lot like.... An excuse
And I wanna ask you-

He couldn't help but find every answer to every question was too much of an excuse, but Y/N told him when he was leaving, that even if he had to ask, he had his answer. That's why she told him to leave and not worry about giving her any form of explanation, because she could see that even he found that he had too many questions for himself. Questions she didn't want to wait and be apart of.... She didn't want to be the reasons for his questioning.

Would we have turned
A corner if I had waited?

He had to respect that, even if the break off was too soon for him to bear.

Do I need to lower my expectations?
If we'd kept heading the
Same direction, would we
Be home by now?

Looking up to find he caught Y/N eye, he couldn't help a longing feeling that ended up  washing over his face. Y/N, giving a soft look, getting in her car and driving off home for the night. Not giving Dwayne another look or thought, something Dwayne could understand why.

Now I don't know if I'd been
Ok with holding out hope
For your stack of rainchecks
If I'd been able to grin and bear it
Would we be home now?
