nothing serious

I have this funny feeling
you're not worth the words
and you're just a passing fancy
standing as still as the day I met you
as the room flew in circles
and my eyes took longer than usual
to focus and pull myself together

I'm still stuck in this limbo
as unemotional as the day
every emotion I once displayed
far too visibly on my sleeves
danced out the window
with every broken promise
he promised he'd never break

I'll wonder, wander, wish
that this could be somethinganything
but the gap in years
that's ignored as I lay next to you
is something we're facing
backwards and sideways
because I'm still nieve
and I'm sure you know how to play the game

it's comforting to know you thought of me
so early on after
you were so prone to forgetting
and I was surprised to find
that you're keeping your door open
to let in the cold and keep out the
secrets

I shouldn't read too far into
anythingeverythingsomethingmaybe
because I'm always finding myself
wrong
you've asked me to stay
I've told you the truth
and you'll still walk me home
chivelry has yet to take it's final dying breath,
I'm shocked

tell me when I can start believing again
because it's up to you
I'll be waiting for the lights to fade
you never told me why you laughed...
