It started off as any other day

With the end of the previous day.

But this was different, it was fresh and forlorn.

It was cold, it was warm, it was cold, it was warm.

I found my movements to be a beautiful equation

That I could spend my life, my time, rearranging.

So, out for the weekend. So out of my head.

The liquid deciphering the words that you said.

Surely not, surely not. 

The patterns emerged and described what we saw.

I forgot, I forgot

Which shapes form you and which do not.

I could bleed if, if I need to.

What’s the point in covering wounds that aren’t seen to?

It ended up like no other day;

The blanket of night brought us out to play.

Our decisions were chemical reactions,

We ignored the temptation to believe more than that.

So much for the weekend, our time spent in bed.

The sunlight devising what I should have said.

Surely not, surely not.

The patterns emerged and I know what I saw.

I forgot, I forgot

Why children do play and adults do not.

I forgot, I forgot

That the days were shorter on a long weekend.

By the way, I forgot to say

‘I was in love with you’, yesterday.

You were seeing things I could never see right.

Chose your friends and never chose mine.

If people don’t dance then they won’t drift apart.

A hand in a hand is always the start.

You said
,
‘Darling I want you to ever be mine.

Darling I need you from time to time.’

Darling I left you when you could not defend.

Darling I left you for this Long weekend.

Warm, it was cold, it was warm.

It was cold, it was warm, it was cold,

It was so very warm.

By the way, I forgot to say

‘I was in love with you yesterday.’
