They didn’t understand what I saw They couldn’t see the deep passion, late at night in those baby blue eyes. All they saw was a number and a reputation. So you were 21 and captain of your hockey team? In my eyes you were priceless and only old enough to drive. The jersey you wore stayed on the ice and your skates were left untied. You said the things only guys in fairytales would say, I called you my “Edward Cullen” and we kissed our nights away. We were both so alike that it brought out our worst. I would scream, and so would you, until our throats would hurt. Sometimes you’d make me cry so hard that when I looked up you’d be crying too, But no matter what life or love threw at us I always knew that you meant it when you’d take my hand and pull me aside, Cup my face and kiss my lips, Or fall asleep at my side. There was never a doubt in my mind that yes, boy, you did love me. After that night when we watched everything end and we both knew it was for good, I know I loved you and you loved me, And maybe when time is on our side, we could be together
