unsteady ground

this actually kind of sucks but whatever, I was feeling it

I remember when you slept over my house the first time

I came down in the morning and saw you sitting there, your head resting in your hands

You seemed so stressed, so unsteady

I was afraid you might have gotten bad news, or you were regretting spending the night

But I put that all aside, and crawled onto your lap

I let your head rest on my chest and held you tight

I knew whatever was on your mind you weren't going to talk about

so I figured making you forget was the next best thing

I kissed you, regardless of my morning breath and the crust in my eyes

I saw your smile and I knew I made whatever was on your mind disappear

Those days are gone, along with you
