“It’s not that big of a deal.” I took a big sip of beer, and she gave me the side-eye. “But I guess maybe I am a tad bit nervous.”
We sat together and listened to the first few songs and after the first break Jason finally came and sat with us.
“Is it soon?” he asked.
“I think it’s this set,” I said plainly as I dead stared the stage. The nerves I tried to ignore up to this point were bubbling up. My song was about to be played on stage. By a real band.
I heard the opening of the song and grabbed Amy and Jason’s hand to indicate this was it. The rest of the club was bustling as normal, but the three of us sat still, intently watching and listening.
I sat across from you and observed
The way you looked, always so preserved
Then you shook me to my core and left me unnerved
But eventually told me how I’d be served
I ignored the signs because of the charm
You saved me from harm
Even after you warned me of the alarm
Holding me safely in your strong loving arms
It was then I realized when my heart started
Pounding and jumping and felt it had parted
That you were everything I never knew I wanted
You treated me with care
In my moment of despair
It opened my eyes to something that was there
Suddenly a new side of you to me became aware
But in my selfishness I missed
All the ways you not only kissed
But made me feel special and missed
And I made you feel like you didn’t exist
So you left me alone and thinking you’re pissed
It was then I realized when my heart started
Pounding and jumping and felt it had parted
That you were everything I never knew I wanted
My heart was shattered into a million pieces
So I ran away to try to reassemble pieces
