summer 83 & peaches

silence

since the day we kissed on the grass
you seemed far away from me.
i didn't know what to do,
or how to have you again.

i even hung out with marzia,
we made it on the ground,
i kind of regretted that,
she didn't deserve my bad intentions.

i remember she even said
people who read hide themselves.
remember what i told you on the lake?
all i did there, in the hidden spot, was read.

the truth, i was feeling empty,
so i wrote you a note,
i left it in your room,
under your door.

i was glad you responded,
but intrigued by the way
you said to me to grow up,
and you could meet me again.

i waited all day,
watching the clock hands,
they were moving slow,
i wanted both on twelve.
