Burn

Who caught your eye this time? Whose quick remarks made you think twice? Who made you smile more than usual? Whose eyes are you smiling back at now? Whose heart beat are you slowing down? Whose thoughts are you invading? Does she appreciate you? Does she over-analyze your every glance? Does she count the steps to your door? Does she wake up thinking of you? Do her fears of you being a distant memory exist? Perfect conversation and little stares amount Your steps become in sync, right left, right left Your heart beats and her slows down Beautiful has a different meaning to you Her. Hands clasped tight, nothing holding you two back "Let's take on the world together, we'll win." Everything becoming so sure, so permanent Nothing will end this, nothing. But those brown eyes aren't as inviting as you remember That smile isn't shining that bright Her clothes no longer have a faint scent of you Her quick remarks are slowing down That heart isn't beating like it used to You start to slowly push her way So she starts over-analyzing every little thing Conversation is dead. Stares are gone Who caught your eye this time? Whose quick remarks made you think twice? Who made you smile more than usual? Who did your burn this time?
