don't never come back around (september 9, 2010)

i was twenty and you were twenty-eight

if it takes years then i’ll wait, i’ll wait

even there’s no peace to be found

just please don’t never come back around

it’s been three months since i called to apologize

for the note i wrote after you said goodbye

i am sorry that i was mad

but i had every right and we both know that

we also know that you should’ve called back

you have your reasons; i get it, i know

but tell me the one that made you go

you said i was mired in the past

but two months to forget would’ve been too fast

pain like that cuts deep and it lasts

i was twenty and you were twenty-eight

if it takes years then i’ll wait, i’ll wait

even there’s no peace to be found

just please don’t never come back around

we had planned to watch the game that night

but the cable just wouldn’t work right

so we made a feast and ate in the den

and watched an old favorite movie instead

it didn’t feel like the end so i never knew

that that would be the last of you

i was twenty and you were twenty-eight

if it takes years then i’ll wait, i’ll wait

even if there’s no peace be found

please don’t never come back around
