So it's 3 in the afternoon, and I'm sitting in a cold room on a summer day

I just want to let this one out, so here it goes

I've been thinking a lot lately about what it would have been like if we had met before the innocence in our hearts was lost

Back when all we needed to worry about was homework and which TV show we would watch afterwards..

I wonder if it would make any difference if we had met back then

Honestly, all of this hesitation just makes me sad

It's sad letting go of something because of the fear that one of us might break the other's heart

I heard your voice in the dark, and I felt the comfort in it

So gentle..

But why, oh why, do I feel this fear inside me when the lights come on?

It's sad because we never really get the chance to start and get to the middle

I am pulling away before we even get to know what we are losing, and maybe you are letting me go because you see how scared I am

It feels like this, too, shall pass without ever reaching that point

We are choosing safety over each other, and the truth is.. it is such a devastating way to live
