Laying On A Sun-Warmed Concrete Bench

Laying on a sun-warmed concrete bench
Planes crawl like ants across a pale blue sky
Close my eyes as a cool breeze caresses my face
Remembering another place and time
When you were by my side
 
Dreaming of a time
When you lit up my life
Like that screen lit your face
At that drive-in movie
I have yet to see

Think of those nights
Laying in my bed
The phone warm against my ear
Your voice lulling me to sleep
Dreams overtaking my love drunk mind
 
Reminiscing the times we laughed and played
All the dreams we sat and made
All the plans we laid
And then
You were gone
Leaving me here
 
Laying on a sun-warmed concrete bench
Planes crawl like ants across a pale blue sky
Close my eyes as a cool breeze caresses my face
Remembering another place and time
When you were by my side
Realizing then
That your still here
My best friend
New emotions run deeper
I can’t see an end
 
I’ll be here
Through thick and thin
You know I got your back
Down every twist and bend
I’ll catch you when you fall
 
I know that things have changed
Seems like for the better
I think of this
And I smile
 
Laying on a sun-warmed concrete bench
Planes crawl like ants across a pale blue sky
Close my eyes as a cool breeze caresses my face
Remembering another place and time
When you were by my side
