red clay and gravel roads
divots forming as the rain pelts
out of breath, running away
my heart aching as the pain melts
never did I think I’d find you
just to lose you all over again,
but here I am standing broken
looking down, I’ve lost my friend
life is short, and we both knew this
still we promised that we’d do this
so here I dance in the summer rain
when I close my eyes, you’re doing the same
