"I'll never forget how you looked that night
Baggy jeans, black t-shirt
Radiant in the candle light
And me,
Leaning on the wall for support
Because
Just looking at you made my knees
So weak
'Come here, baby girl, let me hold you'
It was easier then,
Back when I didn't cry myself to sleep over
Another letter
That confirmed my worst fear
And
Going two hours without you was a "bad day"
Now, I fight to stay in one
Piece
Because I know if I fall apart,
Then you will too
'Is love really enough?'
Too many questions, with
Never enough answers
And your picture can't make it all
Go away.
'43 is the magic number, baby.'"
