The Sun ☆ The Sun

After school
Walking home
Fresh dirt
under my fingernails
And I can smell hot asphalt
Cars screech to
a halt to let me pass
And I cannot remember
What life was like through
photographs
Trying to recreate
images life gives us
from our past
And sometimes
it’s a sad song
But I cannot forget
Refuse to regret
So glad I met you
Take my breath away
Make everyday
Worth all of the pain that I have
Gone through
And mama I’ve been cryin’
Cause things ain’t
how they used to be
She said the battles almost won
And we’re only several miles
from the sun
Moving on down my street
I see people
I won’t ever meet
Think of her
take a breath
Feel the beat
in the rhythm of my steps
And sometimes
it’s a sad song
But I cannot forget
Refuse to regret
So glad I met you
Take my breath away
Make everyday
Worth all of the pain
that I have
Gone through
And mama I’ve been cryin’
Cause things
ain’t how they used to be
She said the battles almost won
And we’re only several miles
from the sun
The rhythm of her
conversation
The perfection of her
creation
The sex she slipped
into my coffee
The way she felt
when she first saw me
Hate to love
and love to hate her
Like a broken record player
Back and forth
and here and gone
And on and on
and on and on
But I cannot forget
Refuse to regret
So glad I met you
Take my breath away
Make everyday
Worth all of the pain
that I have
Gone through
And mama I’ve been cryin’
Cause things
ain’t how they used to be
She said the battles almost won
And we’re only several miles
She said the battles almost won
And we’re only several miles
from the sun
