September.

You remember when we were so tiny
We sat in the backseat
I thought you were beautiful
Your eyes like the moon
You stayed till September
But by then you’d forgotten
And by then I was gone

Lost in my own world
Firecrackers exploding around me
You shook me and took my hand
You stayed till September
But by then you’d forgotten
And by then I was lost

Tossing sand near the ocean
Running near edges of foam and seaweed
Holding me when the sea was angry
Giving me a key
You stayed till September
After that I knew you’d forgotten
And after that I was lost
