Rose

We were friends a year ago
It was August and the winter winds were starting to blow
(The snow, our way, how cold)
Thought they were moving away
But it turns out they were the only things that were to stay
The same
You left that day

Thought it was temporary (oh no)
With you missing I was down my apothecary
Alone with my thoughts
Never a combination I like

But here we are again
Here we are: far apart under the moon
You were the start of something new
You were the one, and I your two

I don't wanna miss you anymore
Every time I check my phone
I hope that it's you
Waiting for your message
Why would I wait?
'Cos I think you might have blocked my number

I never wanted anything
More than I wanted time with you
And now that I'm without
All that I can say
Is I regret everything I said that day

Retroactive memories take hold
I can not remember the cold
We were frozen solid, broken by bespoke
Principle the sonnet, 'cos

Here we are again
Here we are: far apart under the moon
You were the start of something new
You were the one, and I your two

Why couldn't you have ever turned me down?
Why couldn't you have ever let me go?
Holding me at arm's length, treading or I drown
But do I want the freedom from you? I don't even know

You won't let me live, you won't let me die
The rain on my chest is a baptism
I am born again
You're heaven's end
Hoping for an end, 'cos

Here we are again
Here we are: far apart under the moon
You were the start of something new
You were the one, and I your two
Here we are
Right back, right back at the start
