Sunshine

Do you remember.
the summer of '07?
When you wrote our names in the sand
surrounded by a heart
and we were bright like sunshine?

All I have is memories and the feelings I can't put into words
when you ask me what it feels like to hold you again

I'm happy and I don't need to fake anything with you
No excuses, no secrets, not a single lie

I could wake up tomorrow and believe it was all a dream from the past
but then I'd cry and wish it were true

Sometimes I hear what you say and do,
and wonder if God read my mind

I just can't understand how it is sometimes I really do get what I want the most
and that prayers and tears are really heard up in Heaven.


Sometimes-
I've been remembering that time in middle school when
I lost my sonic cartridge for my gameboy advance
It was my favorite game
I searched every once in a while for months
Until one day I looked all over my house five times
and found it in the back of my drawer

I said. "mom look!" and she ran to the hallway in front of my room
a sweet smile slowly formed on her face as I said, "I don't even know why I'm crying."

That's what I felt when I kissed you.
