It was the summer of 2009
When I first heard your voice
Yelling after mine
I was drunker then, when backyards were my beds
And every choice I made had no consequence
And I was wasting time with a friend who never cared
Believing all those lies: "What's broken is repaired."
Unrequited eyes can be so beautiful
Hoping for a sign, how could I be so gullible?
It was the winter of 2010
When I heard that same voice call my name again
You came to my front door, a gift inside your hands
Said you loved me more than I could ever understand...
(And we kissed in the snow)
You would hold my hand
With friends so they could see
Spent the spring that year...
With Deborah and Darcy...
It was the autumn of 2011
When they said you'd died
And now you were in heaven...
