maybe i spent a little too much time
sipping champagne while i waited for sugar coated alibis
you on the other hand were warmed by the winter sun
cool in the summer heat and born to shine like fool's gold
maybe i needed other ways to spend my days
instead of tracing the outline of your footsteps
and trying to find enough of myself to fill them
while you made it all look so easy with your wayward smile
and blue eyes that turned green only when i looked away

maybe i melded the inside particles of pieces you forgot to overturn
made a new space for that heart shaped ideal i had long ago planted
and wound myself furthest away from your perfected ring finger
maybe i spent a little too much time
thinking of ways to slow down and unwind the turn around of time
while you were moving on in words followed some time later by actions
seen and never heard
