Drive 'Til We Hit Water- Those Were the Days (from His perspective)

"Drive 'til we hit water"
That’s all she had to say
For me to step on the pedal
And steal her away.

Wide eyed and carefree
She brought the child out in me
Skipping rocks at the beach
Kicking sand in bare feet.

Those were the days
When skies were never grey
We were young and unafraid
Thought love was here to stay.

I remember our first kiss
She was chewing bubble gum
We cuddled under a tree
I’ll never forget the one.

We carved our initials
Deep into the bark
K and T Forever
And sealed it with a heart

Those were the days
When skies were never grey
We were young and unafraid
Thought love was here to stay

But time that old monster
Set her on another track
She wanted to explore the world
“That’s my girl!” I cheered,
‘Cos I was proud of her
But…
she never came back.

Boy I miss those days
When skies were never grey
When young and unafraid
I thought love was here to stay

But just like that it slipped away
And I’ll never be the same.

Those were the days. ©
