Wet Paper Heart
Tears fall down your face, the days is something new
Shame. Broke. Pained. Hurt pride. And a heart that had built up a lot of defenses with the time had been destroyed in minutes.
I know moving on is easiest when I am around you
"What's wrong?" his voice is shaking with concern, how can someone be that sweet? I can hear his steps, but my eyes don't search for his.
So, bottle up old love, and throw it out to sea, watching away as you cry
His steps fade away, as the images cloud my mind again, swooping my surrounds. Happiness around the corner, hitting the brick wall and forgetting how to stand. Suddenly his voice broke the veil inside my head.
"Scream. It'll ease the pain. Run. It'll free you again. Cry. It'll clean your soul."
Things will be okay.
A year has pass, the seasons go
Laughing. Joyfulness. Happiness. Healed heart. No disguising, not ever again.
Waiting, the days go through, my lips are sealed for her
He promise he'd wait as long as I wanted him to be here. I told forever was always. He's helping crossing the friend line to something more.
My tongue is dreaming of the time of been with you, to settle for less it's not what I prefer
He's inpatient, he can be sickening at times, but he told himself it is for me, that that hard to get doesn't go easily. He've never done this, is a prove I don't fail to notice.
Summer time the nights are so long, the leaves fall down, and so do I into the arms of a friend
He joke about time, said there's plenty. But I know is a long run for him. Only a few nights ago I realize, but he always seems to catch the train of my thoughts, and explain it was a mutual agreement. That he'll be happy if it's ever this way.
Winter nights my bedside is cold, for I am gone and spring blossoms you to me
Another year, another spring. Sunlight hit me on the face as I happily hear my family telling jokes and laughing on the backyard. I don't notice the sudden quietness as I dip my legs in the pond I watch my sadness go two years ago.
Please just don't play with me, my paper heart would bleed. This wait for destiny won't do, be with me please I beseech you simple things that make you run away
I open one eye only to see the gold and silver ring footing in front of my very eyes.
"Will you marry me?"
Catch you if I can
I'm breathless, I see the pools of doubt in those dark skies eyes.
"Yeah" was my weak response. All of nothing our lips are crushing and we fall to the pond.
"Thank God for this pond" I heard him whisper in my ear, his lips wet for the kiss and the crystal drops "Bottled harm just disappears along with those tears. I love you"
"I love you too" Lips crashing again.
Although it's paper, its water proves. And as my brother red face came into view, I know it's a real good kind of paper.
