PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Took a deep breath in the mirror
You didn't like it when I wore these shoes
But I do

Turn the lock and put my headphones on
You always said you didn't get this song
But I do
I do

Walked in expecting you'd be late
But you got here early and you'd stand and wave
I walked to you

Pulled the chair and helped me in
And you don't know how nice that is
But I do

And you throw your head back laughing
like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny
'cause she never did
And I've been spending the last eight months
thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end
But on a Friday, in a bakery
I watched it begin again

I said I never met someone who could
understand these LG records as me
But you do

We tell stories and you don't know why
I'm coming off a little shy
But I do

But you show your killer smile
with the perfect teeth
I think it's new that you say I'm sorry
'cause she never did
And I've been spending this year's eight months
But in August, when our eyes met
I let it begin again

And we walked down the block to the cab
I almost brought her up
But you stopped to talk
About the colors that you dyed your hair once
Every single nighttime
I wanna talk about her
But for the first time
What's past is past

'Cause you held me in your arms
like a little kid
I think it's strange that you say I'm priceless
'cause she never did
And I've been spending the first eight months
Thinking all love ever does is fail and mourn and slay
But in October when we held close
I had it begin again

But on a Friday, in a bakery
I watched begin again
