Blue Eyes, Blonde Hair

Blues eyes, blonde hair
The thoughts run through my mind
I should have seen it, I didn't dare
I guess I was too blind.

Dimpled cheeks, lean and strong,
The way you used to smile,
I miss you now, it's been too long,
We haven't spoken in a while.

Perfect accent, quiet but clear,
I forced you to walk away,
You leaving was my biggest fear,
But I had no faith you'd stay.

Long lashed, freckled face,
You were just too good to be true,
You played the game and won the race,
Yet still I hid from you.

Longs legs, dark hair,
Swept in to save the day
I knew that it was only fair,
That this was the price to pay.

Captivated; the look in your eye,
The way you once looked at me,
I knew then, that it would die,
Whatever we could be.

Blue eyes, blonde hair,
I thought that I would cry,
My biggest mistake: "I don't care."
You should know, that was a lie.

Strong arms, soothing voice
It was in your tight embrace,
That I realized it was a stupid choice,
That you didn't just want the chase.

As they say, you live and learn,
Well you're a lesson I'll never forget.
I'm sorry that I watched us burn
Please know, it's my deepest regret.
