Brown Shingle Berkely

Everytime I use to hang out with her

I'd close my eyes and smile

Sprawl out and say: "I love that girl"

I was just a little school boy

Afraid to shatter that one way move

or the essence of my youth

Take the brunt of reality

Like a knock-out punch to the jaw.

Not so long ago I ran into her,

She lives with one of my friends now

He loves her, and she loves him

And part of me still that little school boy

We talked all night about tattooes

and the way we used to be

The sun came up, and it was time for me to sleep

Waved goodbye to them

And went upstairs

Just to lay my poor head down

Just before i fell asleep,

I saw the door open and it was her

She had nostalgia chokes in her eyes

She layed down next me

And held me between her breasts

And whispered into my ear:

"I love you boy"

I whispered back:

"Oh I still love you too"

I meant it, then she got up and left.

I lay there, barely breathing, embracing the silence.
