about you

(a scenario based on the song about you by the 1975)

once i thought i lost you,
the day the last ray of light
disappeared like a candlelight,
that's what i wanted to do.

i recalled your smiling face,
i recalled you saying my name.
every single day was the same.
i chose this unbearable pace.

i got caught in the silence of time,
heard you saying goodbye.
days and a week seemed like
thousands years to hike.

when you came back,
i've never forgotten.
realised why i'd gone on this deck,
this maze, i've never forgotten.

then you send me an invitation,
i'll always remember that.
you take me here in a motion,
i'll always remember that.

put down my resistance,
a girl married in her head.
an unreachable distance
makes me feel like i'm dead

to you and the rest of the world.
i'm here to find out
a new country to settle down,
whole new purpose, new door.

it's something i can't put into words,
something about you that make me plead
for our different scenarios to meet.
before the noon she goes.

i could devote a day to write songs,
to write poems before she goes.
i could give her what's left of me
because after noon she'll leave.

but i'll always remember the laugh,
her eyes staring up at mine,
her smile in sync with mine.
i'll remember my heart cut in half.

there's something about you, i can't stop
running until the last teardrop.
there's something about you, and i'm flattered
that it's you i'll always remember.
