i forget a little bit more about you each day. each and everyday i forget a little bit more about you.

We drove all night and I put my relationship on the line to get to know you. It started out akward and slow but gradually i turned toward you and we stayed that way from start to finish. We were taking a break from life, you in your checkered shoes and i brought my rain boots. I couldn't stop thinkin' about holding your hand the entire time your band played. The show was great and the theater was chilly but i can remember the way you were sitting and the coat you were wearing and how your hand would move from your knee to your mouth. I was exhausted but wouldn't fall asleep, would never fall asleep when with you. We stopped because you knew i wanted to but would never say so. The air was cold and heavy and my thoughts were spinning but the warmth of my red cheeks and the music in your voice balanced it all out somehow. But that's not what i remember most. I remember the way you slowely came close to me and how it felt when your cheek touched mine. I remember how our hands never made contact, but instead you pointed toward the sky to help me see what i was unable to. I remember I'd never felt that way before. And how I'd backed away and wished I hadn't. Still sometimes wish i hadn't.
