I was too soon to know
What I had let go 
When I was young 
And the bell rung
To signal class had begun
And it was all systems go
Business as usual so 
Ms. Earley came into the class
How was I to know that day would break the cast
That had solidified around me 
And it beckoned to ground me 
Into the earth it knew
And I was far away from loving you
That day
But somehow, nothing would get in my way
And the ground fell apart as I crumbled
The ball was thrown and I fumbled
The past
How was I to know that day would last
And I felt the dark encroach
Around the subject that we broach
Perched on the edge of a prayer
It was the last moment “I” was there 
As I began to sway and lose consciousness
It was as though I undress 
In front of everyone
And the sun
That was about to shine
Was to say it had always been mine
In the subterfuge 
And I thought that no dude
Could ever move me from that place
But that was until I saw his face
Masked in subtle tones
Now we’re staring at each other through our phones
As we don’t talk 
But we walk
Every bloody mile of ground
Until we hear the sound
Of forever in a glance
Would you just shut up and dance
With me
And let my love set you free
You know it can 
I knew it when you took my hand
And showed me a handshake that people forget
But I haven’t yet 
Like I swore I would
Make good
On ever word I uttered
Is your bread buttered
On both sides
Because I am still alive
In your heart and soul 
So put away your begging bowl
And look within
Lightning struck a second time with him
