i used to scribble your name in bright chalk on the sidewalk
when no one was looking then hurredly cover it up with drawings of other stuff
i 'd draw you in class your graphite smile wouldn't last because the teacher was walking my way fast,
i typed your name on an impulse the letters struck me better though no one ever would see backspace you out of my mind and hope no body could find. i spoke your name aloud
running water drowned it out. i couldn't let anybody figure me out
looking back i see the signs that i was quick to blur the lines that separated you and me
so hear my retroactive plea
i don't want to plague you with subtlety i'll always tell you everything you mean to me
So let's let the past be dead and gone take hold of my hand and let's move on.
