My Place

I saved a place for us
Down the path
Where the river is shallow
And the water is cold

Let’s put our feet in
We’re to happy to be freezing
But the rocks at the bottom hurt me
Just like you do

We’ll build castles of dirt
But they’ll crumble soon after
Like my heart did
The day that you left

I saved a place for us
That quiet, beautiful place
Where we would sit for hours
Enjoying the breeze

Let’s throw rocks
Disturbing the water
Ripples all around
It will become still again
Even if you won’t

And skip one or two
Just like my heart skipped a beat
The very same day
You decided to leave

I saved a place for us
Under the tree
Where we watched the river flow
And all of our memories flow with it

You floated away on that water
You never tried to fight it
I watched you go
From the place I saved for us

Only you were never there
So I guess I didn’t save it for us
I saved it for me
