a nice boy
|
she was the new girl
i didnt know her
but i wanted to more than anything else
i woke excited
every morning
waiting for my chance to see her
and when i could wait no longer
i called her on the phone
the next day in the hallway
we exchanged a hug
and i felt my insides melt
slowly at first
then at a breakneck speed
we became attatched at the waist
and when we went home
wed talk on the phone
until one of us had the courage to hang up
i went to sleep each night
smiling at the thought of her face
and when i woke up
id count down the seconds
until we could be whole again
if only for passing period
writing love notes in class
in too deep but not deep enough
young love
a thing of deadly fragile beauty
we didnt know
didnt want to know
and if you told us
we would tell you where to stick it
holding hands
afraid to let go
squeeze hard
just to make sure
afraid to kiss
lest the spell be broken
and when one hurt we both bled
and sometimes it was too much
we would pour ourselves into each other
all we knew is that we could never be alone again
everything else begins to fade out
and suddenly i notice that there is no one else for miles around
and thats ok because we have each other
maybe not forever
but right now is good enough
and right now cant end if we dont let it
and we are soaring so much higher than we have ever been
maybe the highest we will ever be
and if we catch fire
and we begin to drop to earth
we will go down togther
now the fuel guage reads empty
and the engine begins to sputter
we turn our gaze to the sky above
and grasp each other as the ground grows closer
and yet as we departed from earth
we never hesitated or second guessed
ignoring how our journey must end
as we try to fly to heaven in a crop duster
