THE LOVE TRILOGY: SAN DIEGO CLIFFS

You were there for me
When the previous one failed
I turned to you and you helped me
You wanted to jump on board
I was not ready to let you on this ship

Months go by of touch and go
It was hit or miss when we talked
I was too scared to get hurt again
Falling ill you still showed that you cared
Even when I was not all in


Stars aligned miraculously
Duty stations matched
We were in Charleston
For once, you showed me
The better side of guys

The weekend was amazing
My family loved you
First introduction in 7 years
Nervous is an understatement
Relieved is the aftermath

San Diego awaited us
The fog settled in
The rain poured
Still we ventured out
Your giraffes we found

My heart drifted
Looking down I saw your flaws
Black and orange on your phone screen
Cold sweats began
Doubts arise, trust breaks

Excuses poured and I believed
Still I stayed, though my heart said otherwise
Family was beautiful
Cliffs and mountains were breathtaking
Hillcrest was typical rainbow

I soon found while looking over the cliffs
You no longer feel the same
My heart was crushed, hope was lost
I tried to nonchalantly play it off
But I was truly dying inside

The first person to say the L-word to me
It was all over
The fear I initially had came true
Celebrated new years
Didn't talk for months

Now you are a close friend
Dear to my heart
Everything happens for a reason
We see clearly now over the Florida beach
Sometimes I wanna picture us again

On those San Diego Cliffs...
