Anytime...

We didn't read all of the pages before turning,
we never crossed the bridges we're now burning.
I can lie and say that I'm over you,
only I pride myself on my truths.

That song still makes me shed a tear,
it's so cold and you're not here,
it's lonely and you're not near,
losing you was my biggest fear.

I think back to when i pursued you,
I still catch myself planning our future.
I can't admit that I've been defeated,
I won't admit it until my heart stops beating.

Our story's ending happened too fast,
our happily ever after was supposed to last,
I'm in the present but still in the past,
waiting for this storm to pass.

If you ever decide to rewrite your life,
I'll be more than happy to press rewind,
we can reclaim what's yours and what's mine,
my arms are open wide for you anytime....

Simple Times...

Like a young child chasing fire flies,
the aroma of homemade apple pie,
watching re-runs of Good Times,
when fun cost nickles and dimes,
coming home with the street lights,
you remind me of those simple times.

Being with you isn't about the superficial,
it's more simplistic and realistic,
the way you embody the makings of a real human being,
you soothe my soul and set my mind at ease,
like a timeless classic by The Supremes,
you bring to mind the simple times.

You keep me in a continuous daze,
I soak you up like the sun rays,
captivated like you're a nintendo game,
it's like when TLC weren't too proud to beg,
or when Lucy ruled Nick at Nite,
you rewind me to the simple times.

You make me think of purple rain,
or the days when mamas kiss erased the pain,
and saturday nights watching soul train,
when monica sang "just one of dem days",
that innocence is still seen looking in your eyes,
you bring to life the simple times.
