It stung like hell, like a hive of bees, no honey

I remember when you talked to me like that

Not a sound escaped me, she didn't know I was there

But I wondered if she even knew my name

Love you too, you spoke to her

and that was enough to get me off the barstool

So you called out after me as I

made my way through the rest of the empty house

Grabbing hold of my arm, stopping me

pleading me to talk to you

not to run away

but that's all I wanted to do

it was funny to me, I came here for closure

yet I run from it

because maybe I didn't want it to come to a close

deep down, I wanted to rekindle

while I still was able to stand, inside, my walls were falling brick

by brick

cement turning back to liquid

I missed you so fucking much and I wanted you to get it

I wanted you to drop everything, drop her even though

she probably doesn't deserve it

but I knew I deserved you

I secretly hated you in this moment

because your hands had cupped my face

and your twinkling eyes found mine

preparing me for surrender
