i saw you standing there

across the drive

i didn’t mean to stare

but i didn’t expect to see you there

after all this time

see, loving you was like a cool glass of lemonade on a hot summer day

smiling and wasting the hours away 

night drives and outside lights

all those times you promised you’d stay

loving you was like sweet april showers

bringing may flowers 

after the harsh, desolate winter of my life 

where we just enjoyed the hours 

and loving you was that song that you played on repeat 

like the songs we played from the backseat

singing our hearts out to the music

never missing a beat

because loving you was my breath of fresh air 

after i had been drowning without a care

because there was nothing to breathe for 

not until i met your stare

loving you was like the much-needed rain after a dry spell 

dancing in it until we heard the dinner bell

sopping wet with raindrops running down our faces and smiling all the same

there was never anything wrong between us that anyone could tell

but then the lemonade went sour 

the showers flooded the flowers until they drowned without a sound 

as the song you played on repeat skipped a beat

and i lost my air 

as we argued in the rain 

when you said you didn’t care

the raindrops turned to tears running down my face

and then you left when you promised you would stay 

so i guess i'll go away 

i really only wrote all this to say

i didn’t mean to stare

i just didn’t expect to see you there.
