Let's Go Back [him] Poem by Invalid Files

I was new in town,
A beautiful place,
With clouds like cotton,
And water so pure,

Well, I guess there's
Always a blemish in
Even the prettiest place,

The most hated,
Vile, filthy, impure,
Like trash, they had said,
I didn't know what, though

Then I met you,
As a new neighbor,
Whose name was
Never uttered in town,

It was slow, but I knew,
I wanted to be by you,
Who cares what they said!
Something I could treasure,

That's who you were,

A handshake first,
Then a smile,
A hug,
And even a kiss,

You've completely seized my heart!
Your beautiful gaze,
Tender rise of the cheeks,
The most gorgeous smile

Your flaws,
Your mistakes,
Your tears,
I wanted everything,

I would exclaim your name
So loud that it could wake the dead,
How lovely your name
Rang in my ears,

I was so happy!

...

I was watching you
As you made your way
To cross that road,
When a vehicle blindly went for the turn,

My heart worked faster
Than my brain,
And my body moved
With my heart,
...

It's so sunny out today,
Don't you think so?
But all I feel on my cheeks are
Gentle, soft rain

Someone grabs my hand,
And I smile contently,
Cuz I know this warmth
And I hear my name

I feel like that day,
That one spring day,
When I first met you,
On the front porch
Full of daisy flowers

I didn't want it to end,
Not then, not now,
Not ever,
So I say, 'wait'

You must have heard,
Cuz you smile at me
That tender smile of yours,
Whispering my three favorite words

This won't end,
I won't let it end,
So let's go back
To that one spring day
