Our Match (Forever Number Two)

written by: OurSacredHonor

Hey you, yeah you know who I'm talking to
Remember me? I think you do, after all that we'd been through
I don't know what to say to you
Because I'm afraid I don't know you anymore
But if you want, who we are right now can be
Who we were before
Does second best mean nothing anymore? I'm not quite sure
So I implore you to explore a means to restore
The state of our friendship, so great in its prime
Now fate seems to have broken it, we're separate over time
Was it me? Was it you? Was it us? What can I do?
To get through this falling out, I'll scream and shout ?til I get a clue from you

Our match still burns here in my hands
As embers fall into the sands
Of beaches never walked upon
And summers past now gone

Please take this time for a little review
Look back through photographs of that foolish boy you knew
Late night worries and worldly contemplation
Pondering unanswerable questions for the sake of conversation
You've always had and answer, and I'm sure you still do
And maybe someday I'll hear, if I ever get the chance to
I hope it'll be just as good as all the rest
Because for some reason your advice was always best
Who could've know that we'd end up like this
Maybe we just tried to hard, and that's why things went amiss
I can't say it all so I'm hoping you can finish what I start
We became a pair of some sort but now I'm just a part
Of a simple puzzle with two complicated pieces
Missing something and hoping that this separation ceases

Our match still burns here in my hands
As embers fall into the sands
Of beaches never walked upon
And summers past now gone
