I'll Call You in Autumn, by: Zero-Shark

It was magic at first, but the pictures have faded
every note that we wrote packed away in the boxes
that block up your house like an obstacle course
and you're new to the place, so we'll probably go out
and talk about memories and what love's about

and I told you I loved you
and you told me you loved me
under thanksgiving stars,
warmed by our memory
but I know I didn't change,
you just grew up past me
and afforded no look as the others would mock me

so you called up thursday with intents of reuniting
I wasn't crazy at first, and I still don't quite buy it
but we had something once, at least I know I did
whether or not you meant it is something quite different

I won't scream when you talk of your former lovers
I'll just divert my eyes, and clench my toes
and I'll laugh at your jokes, and ask of your business
"you're doing quite well, that much is obvious"

I won't confess the love that made me drive cross the country
but I think it's implied by the things that I'm doing
and soon we'll hold hands, and skip cross the snow
and it won't mean a thing the very next morning

and I'll wake up and dial the number you gave me
but it's too soon to call, so I'll hold off til Autumn
and maybe just maybe, the spark was relit
and the die was recast like before you split, yes

It was magic at first, but the pictures have faded
every note that we wrote packed away in the boxes
that block up your house like an obstacle course
and I'm certain that this, is just what I've needed
