Just Like That

i was only with you for a second
and then you were gone
just like that
i thought we'd last the year
and enjoy spring together
but the idea vanished
just like that
you dreamed of our future
and spending our lives together
but that dream disappeared
just like that
we had these assumptions
that you and i would last
but those assumptions ended
just like that

I Fell In Love With You

I fell in love with your voice
And the silly phrases you use
I fell in love with your lips
And your ungainly walk
I fell in love with your strong jaw
And the twinkles in your eyes
I fell in love with your eagerness
And your fear of bad feelings
I fell in love with your hands
And the way you stand like a lion
I fell in love with your eyelashes
And the way you looked at me
I fell in love with your acceptance
And how you made me feel worthy
I fell in love with your persistence
And how you don't care if you look silly
I fell in love with your sense of humor
And your amusement towards me
I fell in love with how you held me close
And the way you tried to impress me
I fell in love with you
And I wonder if you fell in love with me

The Worlds We Built

You didn't see the world I built for you
But I know you built a world too
Because I saw this world of yours
You built this domain as you felt so sure
That our love would live so very long
We know now we were both wrong
You didn't see the world I made
But you would've if you stayed
You showed me your world too soon
But my world was just as real that afternoon
Maybe if I had shown it to you
Both of our worlds would've come true

My Fear Guided Me

I didn't mean to play with your heart
And if I could, I'd go back to the start.
I'd do anything to spend one more day
With you and do it the right way.
I take back the way I treated you
And show you that my heart is true.
I played with your heart to protect
Myself. I promise I didn't reject
You. I just didn't want to be rejected.
I didn't believe your love was perfected.
I know it seems crazy how I let my fear
Guide how I felt about you all year.
