oh i remember
oh i remember all too well
look away eyes
and heart shaped lies
and all the things promised but never made
broken and laid
to rest
yes i remember those "good old days"
that were filled with the same misery as today
but somehow seem better
given the distance
yes i remember the way you wore your hair
the way you said you didn't care
and the way i knew deep down
that you did
at least for a while
at least for a moment
at least for one imperceptible second of time
that somehow registered in my mind
because of words you spoke
and all that never was

i remember those times
though we slip away
and through each others' fingers
like sleepy sand
gently washing our hands of another layer
of so-called skin

times have changed
but i see you now like i saw you then
close enough to feel you
close enough to linger
close enough to picture us
in a world of my creation
where all the outside factors
don't matter
and at the end of the day
i realize that whether we shared
a moment or a second
or even a single day
you never wanted more from me anyway
it was all just a game
some weird drawn out game
with too many lines
and not enough brain
with so much of my heart
and so little of your pain





oh i remember
oh i remember all too well
