I’ve known you for eight years

You’ve seen my vulnerability and tears

But the ups and downs get me more down than up

And I want more interaction in public than “sup”

When I pursue you because the love for you never goes away

And I had it in my head that it’ll be different

When you come home in ninety-four days

I sat there and wondered why communication paused

A month went by and I sat here lost

 

Then you tell me you’ve come home early

But my heart got all squirrely

When all I want is to see you

But now I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do
