“I saw you looking brand new overnight
And I caught you looking too, but you didn't look twice”
I never thought I would see you like this. It took me a second for my brain to register your existence, but my heart was already sinking to my stomach. You passed me like a ghost, your eyes looking straight ahead. I suddenly felt dizzy with an overwhelming desire to look over my shoulder, at you.
“Flashing back to New York City
Changing flights so you stay with me”
We'd always said we would live together in your apartment. We'd own a dog, take her for a walk every afternoon, and cuddle up with popcorn and movie every now and then. Stay with me, you’d insist. And I would gladly give in.
'Cause you're too hard to forget”
The longest of seconds had barely passed when I turned around and caught your eyes staring at me. I couldn't forget those eyes at all - the same smoldering eyes that burned through me like an ember struck in the dark. What were you thinking now? Did you regret meeting me like this?
“I know that you don’t, but if I ask you if you love me
I hope you lie, lie, lie, lie, lie to me”
The mantra I'd been trying to drown grew stronger until it turned into a scream. Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? My mouth started to form the words, but my body won't move, seemingly frozen in place. I almost thought I heard a yes, as I felt saltwater on the corners of my lips. I closed my eyes to stop the tears from falling, my view misted with water. When I looked up once again, you were gone.
