making up for lost time

it's been three years
since your hasty disappearance from the scene
your skateboard lay broken by the side of the road
and I never got a straight answer
so I learned to forget about the years I spent
wishing for us

now you're back with vengeance
making sure I remember you
because you're sure you made a mistake
that you'll never make again
and I'll think your name and there you'll be
waiting for my return
a reminder of what is to come

so you've reclaimed your old stomping grounds
pacing the halls of my mind
popping up in the most inappropriate of places
and telling me exactly what I want to hear
because you've become my sure thing
and I'm surprisingly fine with your plans
knowing we'll be using each other
for the past three years alone
