One Way

I met this boy when I was only barely eighteen
We met under the moon on a one way street.
And we can, we ran
In the only direction that we could see.

We saw each other again the very next day
Held the other's hand as we sped away
Feel the wind, the air
There was nothing that we needed to say.

We kissed for the very first time under the stars
It felt so warm being held tightly in your arms
So we stayed, so still
Till day broke and the sun rose over the hills.

Two years  passed and things just aren't the same
Every word annoys you and all the jokes sound lame
What can we do
When we've only got  bad tempers to blame

A day barely starts and we're already at it again
You're tearing apart just as I'm starting to mend
Why won't this stop
When there's no love just around the bend

I'll make a resolution to bring you around
Hush dear now please don't make a sound
Just hear my words
Bring back the love we'd found

Now we're here in the silence staring into space
No love no hate no regret etched on your face
Where have you gone
When did you leave me behind in this race

Some time later I realised that love is a cigarette
The spark of feeling that ignited when we met
It burns, with every breath
Ticking off our time into ash on the cement

Yet, we're so hooked
We look, for love
For cover, while we cry
Apart, sitting side by side
Just waiting for the other
To tell the first lie

Some times in winter I'd stand by the door
Wondering what all those fights were for
It seems so strange
We'd choose the tears, the screaming and the pain
All those times we left each other out in the rain
To wait
I'd go back, go back to say to you
The times we loved well were too scarce and too few
