The Downfall of Us All

The feeling when I first saw you
“Love at first sight” they say
A phrase I never believed in until you came along
The way your dazzling, green eyes saw right into me
“Two emeralds on a sand bed.” I used to say
The way your fingers were twirling a lock of your wavy curls
“Your feminine side being expressed through your hair.” I used to say
The way you looked up at me and not down
“Take a nap, sweetie, and you'll grow tall like me.” I used to say
The way those two dimples formed as you gave me a shy smile
“Don't be embarrassed, they're the cutest things in the world.” I used to say

Weeks passed, months passed
There goes Spring break, we went to France together
There goes Summer vacation, we spent everyday together on the beach
Here comes Winter break, separated for a month

When I'm back, you're nowhere to be found
Busy everyday, with what?
I don't know.

School.
Look at me, why the avoiding?
Stay with me, what are you doing?
Hold me, where did you go?
Is it something that I did?
The truth comes from not you, but from her
Her.

The way you look at her gives it all away
What happened is obvious
You fell for her the way I fell for you
Now you're gone
Gone forever
So take back all those hugs and kisses
Take back all those times you whispered “I love you”
Take back all those times you said you'd always be mine
Take back every single memory we had together
Every. Single. One.
'Cause we'll never go back
And I just want you to know
I want you back.
