Its not as if I'm that great a person.
No knight in shining armor.
I'd run away the ladies shirtless
despite my loving ardor.
I just don't understand
when my heartbeat did flips
how from taking her hand
a fire was lit.
I used no tinder nor flint
just some empty words
all my love has been spent
trying to escape from the herd
that says our love is not real
just a fleeting whim
but when they finish their spiel
I give them all a grin
because even though she knows my secret
she didnt turn and run
I hope its not a decision she comes to regret
throwing spiteful oaths at the sun
Im trying to love her the best I can
even though they say I shouldnt
time slips away like grains of sand
I try to remember but knew I couldnt
reconcile with those I hurt
in the days I was falling apart at the seams
our kisses will remain lovely, if curt
so I guess I'll forever be chasing her dreams.
