Elise

it was a long road going north

I was already somewhere in her life

no one seemed to understand

not even us

did she even know my half of it

i flinched when she tried to roll up my sleeve

no one seemed to understand

not even me

tension between me and my friend Elise

i'd held my breath waiting

for some kind of release

she left kisses on my face

a place i'm pretty sure they don't belong

two wrongs don't make a right

i can't tell if i regret her

or if i'm relieved

i don't know her half of it

but it sure took everything in me

to leave

now i'm settled with my past and present life

i don't know her half of it

but it sure took everything in me
