Our tears washed away from the rain

hallowed from the shallowness and pain

you hold my hair behind my ear and say you love me

and I say it back

the sky, blue like your eyes as I pay attention

to the freckles on your face

I can feel that you mean it, with your face buried in my sweater

memories stain my heart as you say you fell in love with me

it’s almost as if I heard it all before

your hand unlocked with mine

I saw it in your eyes, I must have…

why did you have to lie?

it hurts so much…
