Just a Few More Times
I look into your eyes,
Your tear-filled eyes,
And it’s over.
I’m back,
Back in your arms again.
I hear your voice,
Hear it crack.
My heart breaks in half.
Tears fill my eyes.
I bury my head in your shoulder.
I silently begin to cry.
Unaware of your wet sleeve,
You kiss my head and say:
I’m sorry, babe.
I shouldn’t have said that.
I can’t imagine,
How bad that must have hurt you.
I was stupid.
If you’ll give me another chance,
I promise I’ll fix this.
I’m so sorry, babe.
I start to talk,
So you would stop.
You can’t cry.
I couldn’t take it.
You take my hand,
I kiss your cheek.
You smile,
And kiss me back,
Just a few more times.
Your phone vibrates.
It’s your mom.
I look into your eyes,
Giving you my best puppy-dog eyes.
You smile and kiss me,
Just a few more times.
You say,
I’ll see you tomorrow, babe.
I smile and kiss you,
Just a few more times.
