Analysis of V Fib
Shaking hands and sweaty palms
Beating hearts just worlds apart
The storm before the calm
Corny pick-up lines
Failed attempts at jokes
Your humor an endearing crime
Whispered late night calls
Hour long conversations with no topic at all
Lucky cordless phone never left alone
Failed permit tests and a few regrets
Three years of friendship rings
And a question neither of us was asking
Geometry: A triangle
Definitely isosceles
But you and I are the two corresponding angles
Cold war number two
I cave and you forgave
Doing what we had to do
Unspoken truths brought to light
Breath of fresh air
Fight over flight
Starry nights in a used car
Always going, going, going
But never too far
First kiss was a miss
But target practice was rewarding
We took off before the plane even finished boarding.
Honest talks
Skipping rocks
When did we get so boring?
One carat later
You ask me to grow up
To leave Never Land
Yes, of course
But what about my pre-you plans?
Where do my life goals stand?
Gypsy dreams and wild things
Meet their deaths
At the hand of reality
Lost in each other
I want to run
I want to stay
Grab my hand
Make me a promise
Say it will all turn out okay
