CUPCAKE SUMMER

Since our eyes locked
I’ve been fighting for air
My unfixable heart
You’ve seemed to repair
 
You fit the cliché
Blonde hair blue eyes
Sappy love songs
I grew to despise
 
Until the day
You came into view
Now every word
Revolves around you
 
You had me wrapped
Around your little finger
But the scent of another
Began to linger
 
I thought she had more
Than you had to give
My little cliché
Took my will to live
 
6 years down
I still can’t forget
The feelings I felt
The instant we met
 
I sit alone
And you’ve moved on
Thank god you’re happy
After what I did wrong
 
Please just keep
Your shy bright smile
You probably forgot
It’s been quite a while
 
But I’ll never forget
The choices I made
I hate clichés
I should of stayed
 
I’ve never moved on
And don’t think I will
Waiting on impact
Falling for you still
 
I’ve never had another
They won’t compare
To that cute squeaky laugh
And cliché blonde hair
 
You’re off at college
A million miles away
Stealing space in my heart
Still to this day
 
The crying is done
No tears left to drop
All I want
Is regret to stop
 
I know that you
Forgive and forget
So why can’t I
Forgive myself yet?
 
What I would give
To be 15 again
Waiting with you
For spring break to begin
 
This time though
I won’t leave your side
My cliché highschool sweetheart
My future blushing bride
 
Still to this day
I wait for a shot
To give you my all
That’s all I’ve got
 
6 years down
My confidence beams
I’m still your someone
In cliché dreams
 
I have enough room
In this Queen size bed
For you to rest
That pretty little head
 
Instead I lay
Cold and alone
Wondering if you
Pick up your phone
 
And stare at my name
Debating to dial
Cliché first lines
“Wow its been a while!”
 
All in all
I just hope you’re OK
I know I’m not
But what can I say
 
My selfish actions
Caused my distress
How I long for
One tender carress
 
My true feelings
I wish that you knew
One last cliché
I’ll only love you
