End of the Summer

[kitarin]

I actually haven't been alone for this long in quite awhile... it's just a little odd, but also feels sort of like an old familiar blanket.

I built an end table tonight... I guess there's a first time for everything.

I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense

And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose

But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break
