Jeffery
When we were younger
Things came easier to me
Now that I am older
It seems it is not meant to be
The desire is still there
As is all the love
No matter where you are
It still feels like you were sent from above
Sometimes I can feel your hands
All over my body and soul
Holding me close like rubber bands
Making my face glow
With the passion of a million
Thoughts filling my brain
Sometimes a billion
Driving me insane
Now we are to take
After nine years
A little bit of a break
Without shedding tears
It seems impossible to me
That something like this could’ve happened
To us: souls who were meant to be
I will never be prepared
I fell in love with you
When I was fifteen years old
Now I am blue
Fourteen years later out in the cold
