The Summer I Was Fifteen
The summer I was fifteen,
the season I thought I had found true love,
I had finally found myself,
my life changed forever.
Wandering about with new found friends,
look at me,
the socially-awkward, girl that seemed ahead of her time,
actually becoming a social butterfly.
He would proudly hold me to his side,
I was his, and he was mine.
We were perfect on the surface,
yet so many problems hidden beneath it.
Fall is on it's way,
the days are getting shorter,
nights becoming longer,
temperature becoming colder,
love becoming stronger.
I've got to admit,
we had a good thing going,
but was it really good for us?
Leaves fell to the ground,
they'd crunch beneath our feet,
they'd get stuck in the wheels of my skateboard,
the cold nipped at my nose,
I got to wear hats again,
he gave me his favorite hoodie,
so I'd be warm,
and I still have it to this very day.
Winter's on it's way,
well, that's what everyone's saying,
but we have yet to get any snow,
and it just doesn't feel like winter,
it just doesn't feel happy,
I just can't get into the winter spirit,
we're all drifting apart, like icebergs,
and now, you're all I've got.
Spring creeps up on us,
this feels like the end of us,
we're falling apart,
and I'm lost without you.
We're becoming different people,
and you're no longer the person I fell in love with.
Maybe we could lose our minds,
and call it love for the last time.
I had always sworn I'd never see the end of us,
I had always sworn that we would be forever,
but here, life has forsaken us so,
and this, this my darling,
appears to be the end of the road.
I do have to say one thing though;
it wasn't me, it was you,
and my life has forever changed.
