Hot and Cold.

Long lines on the wall
The drama queen sunlight
Taking the stage and stealing
From the shy shadows

Hot cocoa and ice cream
Like you and me, no?
Hot and then cold
First burning and then numbing


Jackets pulled over
"We're going to be late!"
Considered it warm enough
I wasn't prepared for the cold]

[Rush of feelings that would
Come over me as I saw someone
Who reminded me of you
And the way you used to look at me

That night at the park
That day in the square
When the leaves tumbled over each other
Like lovers unaware that they've both fallen

Cocoa and ice cream
Shadows and sunlight
Jackets and tank tops
[Youth and passion] have their places too

And time is just that
It's just time
And time passes and writes again
And you can't change your story
Just so you can remember something else
