Root Beer Eyes
By Christina Mae Watson
We were fifteen years old,
Both the new kids in school.
Searching for our place,
In a cold and ruthless world.
It was love at first jump,
A simple hello … I was yours.
Bad boy on a skateboard,
Troublemaker they assumed.
You never apologized,
For simply being you.
Lost in your root beer eyes,
I found my own truth~
We'd sneak into the drive-in,
Holding hands, you were mine.
We shared mustard and fries,
I didn’t hate it.
Your trench coat, black and faded,
Always kept me warm on winter nights.
Piercing root beer eyes, so bright,
Told me you were everything I needed~
Two kindred souls destined by love,
A connection forever bonding us.
Black trench coat, long brown hair,
Stubble beard, kissable lips
Root beer eyes piercing my soul,
We were the perfect fit.
No lavish dinners,
Just the local fast food.
No flashy jewelry,
Paper rings made by you.
After school we'd roam together,
Whisper secrets, share our dreams.
We’d talk of forever, a future family,
We knew we were meant to be.
At the snow covered pond,
We promised forever.
No matter what the world threw at us,
We'd face it together~
In the truck bed under the stars,
We were lost in each other's arms.
In the stillness of your room,
You were the first to … touch.
Flesh to flesh, I gave you … all of me,
Body and soul no longer mine.
And every moment big or small,
Our love was our greatest call~
Through the highs and lows we'd stand,
Our love was our guiding hand.
In the chaos we’d find peace,
With you … I am complete
Two kindred souls destined by love,
A connection forever bonding us.
Black trench coat, long brown hair,
Stubble beard, kiss-able lips
Root beer eyes piercing my soul,
We were the perfect fit.
Shadows fell, forcing us apart,
Our connection never faltered.
We never found our moment,
To reunite what was stolen.
When the chance came …
You were gone
I'm left with only a piece of my soul
You carry the other half with you
In the twinkle of the night sky
I feel your root beer eyes
I promise to never forget, Never let go,
Till we meet again my love.
Wait for me
Wait for me
Wait for me
Wait for me
Wait … for me
