Can we go back?

Can we go back…

Can we go back to the beginning

when things were a little easier on us

when life didn't have to get in the way

Can we go back to the innocence of getting to know each other?

The excitement that came from every little detail we continued to discover

about you,

about me,

about us...

Man, you really had us building a friendship first

But damn, you really had me falling for you all in the same

Can we go back to a time where it was just us

Where FaceTime dates were just enough to get us through

Where I spent all my days thinking of you

Can we go back to those warm summer nights

filled with r&b slow jams and conversations that took our relationship to new heights

I miss the humor

I miss the wittiness

I miss the sarcasm

you were always down to match my energy despite how carried away I'd get

I loved that for us…

Can we go back to wandering the streets of downtown San Diego together?

It was always fun to make strangers feel uncomfortable with our conversations, our loudness, our pretend public fights...

It never mattered though, how uncomfortable we made others,

because we were always lost in our own world

Or how about the times where you'd carry me to your car because I was always too lazy?

Or when I tried making you reenact a dance scene from The Greatest Showman, emphasis on the "tried"

Or all those times I'd wait for you to offer to share your food?

Truthfully, I never wanted a bite to begin with...

I just loved knowing how special I was to change your habits of never wanting to share

I loved how much I challenged you...

I just wanted to make you a better man.

Can we just go back to the building,

to the courting,

to everything that comes before the ending?

Can we just go back to a time where our love had a fighting chance?
