Lasting Impressions

Giiiiirls

This one's for the girl who let me hear her sing
This one's for the girl I nearly kissed
This one's for the girl who hasn't texted back all week
R.I.P to all that could have been

Here's to all the maybes
Every almost and so close
The hope that always builds back up
But never finds a home
Here's to each beginning
And it's inevitable end
All that I can do is try again

Dear Leanna, I know I don't know you very well
But when I heard you sing I felt an ache
I want to get to know you more than anybody else
A week ago, this all was going great
I'd love to build a blanket fort with you
And stay up late
Counting all the stars hung in the sky
Assemble all the furniture you wanted
Cause you're such a nerd
But we'll never get that far and that's alright

Here's to all the close calls
Every build up just to drop
You tell yourself it's real this time
When you know that it's not
Here's to your pretending
That it all will turn out fine
Oh, only if you had a little time

Hello again to you
You keep on showing up in dreams
It's almost been five years
And I'm sure I've forgotten things
Like what you really looked like
And the things you said to me
But in my false reality you're always sweet

And you shouldn't be, should you?
But it always feels so real
I dread the day I'll see you
And confront the things I feel
Which I shouldn't feel anymore
I don't know who you are
I didn't back in high school
But I still loved you from the start

Here's to all the first loves
Every girl who's broke my heart
It's so fragile what do I care
If it finally falls apart
Here's to finding someone
Who might take it off my sleeve
And never ever give it back to me
