His eyes widen and glisten, his smile enlarges and stiffens
The warnings of his friends going through both ears, it was only to her that he’d listen
With a similar expression, she greets him and they kiss
Lips touch, cheeks blush, his knees buckle under his hips
He looks at her, professes his love and she says nothing will ever ruin this
They go out on dates as much as they can
No matter where they go, you’ll see ‘em holding hands
A few months later, bye hater, the fiasco hits the fan
Now I ask, while they got nothing to bask on, was this part of the plan?
Young love, established in their teens
To her, he was her boyfriend; to him, she was a queen
To her, she was content, while he was living the dream
As royalty walked by him, he had no reason to believe, something could get in the way and change what he thought could be
Every day was amazing: clear skies, sunshine, rainbows, and unicorns
Both together as they blossomed with low key problems, cue the thorns
Cause clip away, and they’ll still grow back
Accept and accept ‘til you can’t and can’t go back
One week passes and he’s the first to say I love you as she blindly agrees, though this had all just begun
A few strolls down Central Park in the summer
A few meals in Times Square
A few rides on The Beast at South Street Seaport to see the statue and clock nearby
But time was seemingly never there
He thought the world was theirs, their fortress of happiness to share
Anyone who ever warned him otherwise would be shunned
There would never be another girl for him, only his current one
Week one: all smiles and eternal bliss
Week two: dinner dates, looking at the stars, trying to tell themselves nothing would ruin this
Week three strolls by…the love seems to have gone amiss
By week four, he wonders if it ever really did exist
He never wanted to hang up, he never wanted to head home, but every time on the other line, she was the first to say I got to go
Cause she was aware of the signs, ended it before it became a wreck
Knew he was a good dude, but kept her priorities in check
Always wanting to go out while she was working, almost had for a sec
But she was smart, and told his heart “protect your neck”
