Sitting and staring,
Away.
Laughing and sharing,
Please stay.
Hoping for caring,
I pray.
The grass we sit on,
Flattened and muddy.
Staining our clothes,
Holding us cold.
But we don’t care.
We care.
Only about what we need to.
You and me and me and you.
She closes her eyes.
Tired, sad, at peace?
She lays in the grass.
Tears fog up,
Tired, sad, at peace?
Forgotten last times
And hidden firsts,
Crashing down above.
Above my umbrella,
Cause we don’t care.
We care.
Only about what we need to.
You and me and me and you.
She smiles again
Tired, sad, at peace?
I look once away,
Cheeks burn flush.
Hopeful, scared, on fire?
I look her way
Only to see
An empty space,
And flattened grass...
