Title: Get Ready, Erm .. Go

We were nothing more than friends
You were there to see the end, nothing more
It wasn’t really ‘love’ it was something I can’t explain
It was a feeling so hard to ignore
And all the time we spent together
Now means nothing to you
It’s in your memory collecting dust
Forgetting all the things we’d do, me and you
Like walking home after school
Take the long way through the town
When our eyes met, our hands met
I was so afraid to stay around
But it was different to the first
I really thought you cared
Like the time my dad was in hospital
And you were still there
Even though you were in Austria
And it cost so much to text
You made sure you replied
To the next one and the next
And when he broke my heart
You listened night and after night
To everything he said to me
And you said how you’d make them right
That if I were your girl
I’d never have to cry
Because you’d treat me like a princess
Like an angel from the sky
I sent you pictures of my bedroom
To show you all the walls
And you zoomed in on all the pictures
Promised to catch me when I would fall
We went walking in the snow once
Got hot chocolate in the cold
Had them perfect hugs
The ones when it’s to perfect to get old
We spent New Year watching fireworks
You listened when my friends gave up
But it was far too casual
To call this damn thing “love”
Even though I’m sure it’s love.
