collegiate level spanish

classes and girlfriends and mortgages and pills don't leave a lot of time for me

in another lifetime we could be happy

the way your words are soft and you understand

and how I’m always left with this warm feeling

I’ve spent days on end trying to remember the sound of your voice

and how it would feel to be wrapped up in you

the little things make me feel as though

maybe just maybe

if our days were different and you weren’t so far off

if you weren’t torn between a love for her and a love for herb 

that you could fall in love with me

you say I’m beautiful and you say I’m complex 

and I’m like no one that you have ever met

“f**k i can talk to you like no one else 

and i want to find out everything about you"

all of the cards are on the table, both yours and mine

you think your scary and you think you’re scarred

but it drives me right into your arms

now your life moves on and i don’t hear much

these circles are spinning out of control

in different directions, you’re letting go

yet i can’t help think of all we could be

if you went out of your way to think of me 

but now we’ve hit an expiration date 

with no response to queries of fate

i watch you slowly begin to fade

I’m grasping and tumbling trying to make you stay

another gone with no goodbye

tears for weeks but now i can’t cry

I’m getting used to this kind of pain

when those long distance lovers slip away

in my head i see a reality 

in which you and i are so happy

my fingers laced around your palm

whispers linger in the air

I see cups of coffee, still warm

and picture myself in your arms

you kiss my lips as a goodbye

but dreams often remain unsatisfied

you and i could fall in love

but life has other plans
