I’d be lying

I’d be lying if I told you that I didn’t fall in love while you were away

We got lost in our own world

Laughing at everyone else

For being so obvious

And we were so mysterious

And couldn’t stop smiling

Couldn’t help it

But given a choice

I choose this country

I choose the sweat cooling off at midnight

Damp hair stuck on my skin

The road that doesn’t exist on maps

The days that lead to a hundred new adventures

And nights better than dreams

Your smile

How it relaxes when you see me

Your look of surprise

And yet always knowing
