it was only you and me


it was only you and me. sweet sixteen.

too young to know, too hurt to care. that's how I remember us.
turned each other's worlds around, but nothing to guide us

years later we're still hurting from the things we did to each other, because we didn't know any better. we were angry, we were scared. we were lonely, and bitter at the world. we didn't realize those things would stay within to haunt us.

so i hear you're still driving your girlfriend insane, and i just broke up with mine for the same reasons i left you. are we using the same excuses we did back then?

and we haven't talked in years and it's sad because i remember what you said to me when you were just 16. the wars we won against the world.

remember when we went to the beach, we found a bottle of wine and considered ourselves lucky. i stole your car and tried to learn how to drive...oh you were sooo angry....

do you remember the drive to the Keys? packed up clothes and packed up weed...and did what people always dream of doing. Just took off together.

we hurt each other so badly. i can't believe the things we did, the words we said. it was only you and me...
