Skies Turn Blue

Voices calling

They are calling out to you

And I can see

I can see you crying

You are weeping

Why are you crying, please tell me

I will be here

I will be right by your SIDE

Skies turn blue

You're hiding again

I miss you

I burn

When you say you're sorry

There's no need to apologise

When I say "I love you"

Please know that I do mean it

Just like the first time

And the last time I told you

How did we get here?

Well it started from a simple gesture

One of kindness and respect

You liked my hat

I liked your charm

You listened to my problems

I listened to yours

From there, we were friends

WE BECAME FRIENDS 

AND NOW

WE ARE SOMETHING MORE

SOMETHING MORE

Skies turn blue

You're hiding again (YOU'RE HIDING)

I miss you

I burn (I BURN)

When you say you're sorry

There's no need to apologise (APOLOGISE)

When I say "I love you"

Please know that I mean it (I REALLY DO)

Just like the first time

And the last time I told you (I'M TELLING YOU)

I'M TELLING YOU THAT

I LOVE YOU

So much

Much more than I can ever express (IT'S INEFFABLE)

We chose to be together! 

We chose each other! (WE CHOSE)

We had our first kiss in a graveyard

And the rest is...

Written in March of 2025. I was inspired by Hawthorne Heights as I was listening to a lot of that on my way to and from work at the time, as well as feeling inspired by my partner, Charlie, and remembering how we first became friends and how we progressed from there. It was intended to be a pick-me-up for him but I don't think I ever sent it to him after I wrote it.
