Turning Green
Turning Green.
Keith was carefree,
He always had new experiences to share
With bright eyes, he told me his crazy stories
I listened carefully, enjoying the lull and inflection of his soft voice
He always had new experiences to share,
His lips curled slightly to the left as he told another dumb story
I listened carefully, enjoying the lull and inflection of his soft voice
Deep brown eyes radiated with passion
His lips curled slightly to the left as he told another dumb story,
About a girl he’d been talking to recently
Deep brown eyes radiated with passion
Slowly, I stopped listening to his stories
About a girl he’d been talking to recently
That’s all our conversations ever consisted of
Slowly, I stopped listening to his stories
He hadn't noticed me
That's all our conversations ever consisted of
I became a victim of unrequited love
He hadn't noticed me
Keith was carefree.
