love you this way...

being whispered to a loved one during a tight embrace before parting ---- "i love you openly... i love you so dearly that i will not hinder your freedom, your growth... and in those moments that you need me, i will still be here to bring you back home... safe with me..."

I know you’re gone
I watched you leave
I always thought
That it was me
You made it clear
With that last kiss
couldn’t live a life
With maybe’s and whatif’s

When every boat
Has sailed away
And every path
Is marked and paved
When every road
Has had it’s say
Then I’ll be bringing you back
Home to stay

I have the cards you sent to me
You wrote of trains and paris galleries
This spring you’ll draw
Canals, and frescoed walls
Look how far your dreaming’s gone

When every town looks just the same
When every choice gets hard to make
When every map is put away
Then I’ll be bringing you back
Home to stay

And now I know why you had to go alone
Isn’t there a place between

When every boat
Has sailed away
And every path
Is marked and paved

When every road
Has had it’s say
Then I’ll be bringing you back
Home to stay

Reach out to me
Call out my name
And I would bring you back again
Today

there's this story of this grocery love story, so common so simple, so perfect... sometimes you wish, you wonder what happened to the comfortable lil bond that you and her had... looking back, you wonder...

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I just remembered that time at the market
Snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart
And rolled down aisle five
You looked behind you to smile back at me
Crashed into a rack full of magazines
They asked us if we could leave

I can’t remember what went wrong last december
Though I’m sure you’d remind me if you had to

Our love was comfortable and so broken in

I sleep with this new girl I’m still getting used to
My friends all approve, say she’s gonna be good for you
They throw me high fives
She says the Bible is all that she reads
And prefers that I not use profanity
Your mouth was so dirty

Life of the party and she swears that she’s artsy
But you could distinguish miles from coltrane

Our love was comfortable and so broken in
She’s perfect
So flawless
Or so they say

She thinks I can’t see the smile that she’s faking
And poses for pictures that aren’t being taken
I loved you
Grey sweatpants
No makeup
So perfect

Our love was comfortable and so broken in
She’s perfect
So flawless
I’m not impressed
I want you back...
