she was art, and he burned. on a faded canvas. a paperbag princess with a silk satin finish. a rough-edged boy with only the nerve to care.
she was his only hug goodbye. and when she wrapped her arms around him. like nothing else. his cologne hung in the air. his smile made her wish he didn't have to go. all the times. spent talking about the future. laughing in the back. having elastic band fights. that had her wishing he didn't have a girlfriend. and wishing it was that easy. but it's too late. he's gone. for good.
and the boy with the perfect smile. also told her he was leaving. monday will come too soon. their entire year. will be wasted. everything that's built up until this point. will be wasted. he was like her brother. and now. the summer will be so cold. without him there.
and then. it's like last night never happened with them. because apologizes are supposed to set time right. running away. and spending the night in her car. sure didn't set things right. and tomorrow won't be any better.
she's been up all night. and spent the day dreaming.
pick me up now, i need you so bad.
