It was unexpected finding you
The long facetime that would go on through the night
Laugh and joke we were never be bored
Always finding things in common
Traveling to see one another.
Sunrise and sunset over the mountains that surround the valley
The steam of the dry sand rises above
Tombstone gunslingers walk the town
No dates at the local bar
In uniform we'd finally see
Just me and you.
Monsoon rains fall in small patches
Who wouldve though we'd get this far
The white man of the hot valley
Someone I'd never thought I would call my own
Foolishly I romanticized from the get-go
Hard to leave you the first time
Though it would not be the last
Id rather relive the weekend than make it a part of the past
Time flew by and you came to tornado alley
The rush and feels roared back to my heart
Although I questioned if yours drifted apart
The dinner, the town, the memorial
Travel to the mountains and hike up we went
Surrounded the camp fire with good friends
Next day would be our last
Though I did not know at the time
It would become a thing of the past
Days end and nights begin
The bond between us seemed to fade
We finally ended in a unsettling way
Holidays were lonely
Disappointed I drank to sleep
The person I said the L-word to
Suddenly was scared away.
Months go by and you apologize
Years go by without a word
Spring turned to summer
Summer faded into fall
Though you occasionally pop in my mind
Out of sight we mended it all
Slowly rekindled a new friendship
Feelings come back the moment I see you again
The 4th of July with you and friends
Watching the fireworks from Security Hill
The skies divide from the park
Could this be a sign of us coming out of the dark
Running back into the light
I knew I still felt something
But didn't want to admit it until you told me too
Where we have been
The roads have led us to each other
Time after time again
We still bug the shit out of each other
Though it did not work out at the time
I forgive you for all that happened
The time was not right
Distances were far apart
Though I often think about how we fell hard
In the Arizona Desert...
