Analysis of not as pure as 21
dark starry night
feeling as if you were by my side
but a town a way was too far
you didn't truly care
but you would still stare
and now i can never remember to remember it
bathrooms a scare
nightmares of you there
but still the truth is unfair
a week of my life
trauma to find
only to be hurt inside
i was so young
you were so tall
my mind aged to someone of 21
