B.E.B. … Camie Del Rosario

by Camie Del Rosario

My therapist called it “backward thinking” (when I told her I was afraid to fall) Cause he’d give me the whole world (if he could) And you, you gave me nothing at all.

That October night, I cried in his arms, cause he looked at me like I was the moon and the stars, But all the time we shared filled me with fear that He’d leave me Like you did I’m like a little kid

I’ll put my faith in this blue-eyed boy Who promises nothing but to add to my joy, I think I could fall for this blue-eyed boy— This bright-eyed, blue-eyed boy.

The blue-eyed boy speaks in metaphor You’d not believe he called me ‘yellow light’ So why am I so afraid of his unfamiliar eyes?

You held tight to my kind understanding. How did I not recognize the way you’d Never held my hand in the street? He’s got me on his arm with pride While you only wanted me in the darkness Of the summer night. There is safety in his eyes.

I’ll put my faith in this blue-eyed boy Who promises nothing but to add to my joy, I think I’m falling for this blue-eyed boy— This bright-eyed, blue-eyed boy.

Brown-eyes, it capsized I clung to you even though I knew we’d drown Brown-eyes, it capsized With the summer sun, the ship is going down, But I’ll sink into his eyes of blue Knowing he’s not you

I’ll put my faith in this blue-eyed boy Who has done nothing to me but add to my joy, I’ve fallen for this blue-eyed boy— My bright-eyed, blue-eyed boy.
