Memories and Solutions

I press my ear to the earth And hear the laughter From that sunny day we spent Sitting against the bricks While you attempted to unleash Your inner artist The smooth gliding Of pen on paper You never use pencils Except in sheet music Which I write in for you anyways I hear the Room where we screamed For hours Until tears came The walls broken down You’ve never let me in That side of you And it was intimidating To see you so naked But I knew holding you Would start making it okay You don’t speak much But your actions say it for you There is no hiding those Goofy smiles and our Long-winded stares into Each other’s souls At three in the morning After the third night in a row Of breathless kisses That’s a record I’ll never forget And I know you won’t either Despite your insistent chant of “I don’t care anymore” I watch the stitches holding you Together slowly break loose Every day we don’t speak I see in your eyes How empty you are We need to put the pieces Back together Before we’re both Too far gone
