Lyrics Melancholy Dream - CheeseCurls202

Add a little sugar, honeysuckle
And a great big expression of happiness
Boy, you couldn't miss
With a dozen roses
Such will astound you
The joy of children laughing around you
These are the makings of you

The righteous way to go
Little one would know
Or believe if I told them so
You're second to none
The love of all mankind
Should reflect some sign of these words
I've tried to recite
They're close but not quite

I had Dream about you
We were on movie set of what i think was a blaxploitation film
And the day was wrapping up
We were laughing and joking with my brother
And then you say something and we're all laughing
But the reference was wrong
I walk up to correct you and as I'm telling
I'm also holding you so you don't see it as me nitpicking

But The way i held you was too familiar
It was the same way we would hold each other
Throughout middle school and high school
Until you started dating that white boy, then you held him that way
I wanted to tell you the truth about what I wanted us to be
But i never mustard up the courage to do so
What If i did and you don't feel same
So i just stayed in this place of friendship
Where i can have you with me back then
Never thinking about how to keep you with me until now

I wanted to see you at graduation
But instead i just texted you "congratulations" and hoped for a reply

I never saw you after

Almost a year later one of our mutual friends brought up your name
And the middle school Field trip to six flags
And as the memory of you and me happy together came back to me
All the signs you gave became clear as well
I felt like you cut me off because I broke up with your best friend
But now I think it's because you had enough of me

Honestly I don't blame you

I really just wanted to talk to you more
I felt like this was my change to apologize for my neglect
And as i look at you, your smile was telling
"It's okay, and I forgive you" Only of it were true
As we turn around every one else left so It's just you, me
And the sunset through the city

The sun made your skin glow brighter
Made your hair shine lighter
And your eyes sparkle brighter than the strike of ten lighters
This is what we could've been if I took the chance to aim higher
But instead we were marinating in apple cider vinegar
I just hope in time we can make it sweet enough before it's too bitter

My alarm went off before i could kiss you goodbye
And I woke up in the same place i always do
