Summer Boy

He was the first boy to steal my heart
He was my first kiss
And my first broken heart

He was a boy from the 90’s
With a piercing in his left ear
Wind blowing in his hair
Summers ago we watched the clouds
Swam in his pool playing childish games

It was just a game
All fun and tame
Until that rainy day in May
I’m getting too old to just play
Were simply his last words

He had this way about him
Laughing about everything
Smiling like it was all okay
Nothing mattered but him and his ego

Until he got a flat tire
Sitting on the side of the road
Wanting to play games
He chased me with a smile
Forgetting the pain from our past
He wanted to have some fun

Gently I whispered
It’s over now
It’s too late to play games
It’s nothing but a distant memory

He lost his chance
It’s all in the past
He lost her for the last time
That day two years ago in May.

Goodbye

Its time to say goodbye
To the broken promises
And broken dreams

Its time to say goodbye
To your silly smile
And your foolish games

Its time to say goodbye
To all the times you left me wondering
All the times you left me waiting in the pouring rain

It’s the end of you and me
You knew this day would come
Stop lying to yourself
There's no going back

All the feelings that we lacked
Breaking in the day
Killing in the night
There’s no denying

There was something there
Way back when
You used to care
It feels like it never happened
Like it was all made up
Just in my mind

We were just kids
Falling in love
There’s a reason they call it falling
Its was so innocent and pure
But we didn’t realize

It’s not the cure
Not even the way
It won’t ever work out
Between you and I

Its time to say goodbye
To what we used to be
Its time to say goodbye
To what could have been.
