Our relationship is so crisp and so clean
But the way you love is so cruel and so mean
It would rain and you’d use my homework as a shield
Knowing I’d end up chasing you around the field
And when I felt like I wanted to be seen
You dyed my gym shirt highlighter green
Sat on your lap as you did a donut on my lawn
Going faster to our favourite song
All the strolls through the woods that we’d take
Always ended up with you pushing me into the lake
And when I was mad, without the okay
I told all the guys that you were gay
But you just laughed and slapped my ass
You let my words just slide right past
That time I fell asleep on your sofa
I woke up to scrambled eggs and soda
The next day I glued the pages of your text book together
You looked at me, then smiled, and said that now it worked better
You squished berries on my pants to make it look like my ‘time’
That’s when, in my head, I could hear the church bells chime
And when my parents found out about you and started to blow
You just snuck through my bedroom window
Told me not to cry, wiped away my tears
Promised me that you’d always be here
Then you leaned in, really near
And whispered ‘I love you’ into my ear
I cried into your chest all that night
Every tear that fell felt perfectly right
The next day we were with friends and you tried the ‘L’ word as we hung
I told you not to, and you shouted it at the top of your lungs
That’s when I knew that it wasn’t a fase
I knew that this feeling could never fade
Going once, going twice, no takers, sold!
My heart is now yours to hold
Promise to never let me go and never let me cry
Because you know I could never love any other guy
