A Cicada Sings

You don’t say much But silence pulls like tide Cicadas screaming through the heat And I smile too wide Just to see if it still brings you back to me To the place we used to love Tell me now Before the summer Breathes its last It feels like love but Tastes like goodbye Please don't say it more Hold me if I still belong to you Let me go before I beg you to Don’t keep me halfway Somewhere in your past When we’re rehearsing our last goodbye I kept my words under my tongue Cicadas screaming for the words I lost not a word I’ve known it from the start Now I see we looked away Oh what would I say in this moment When my heart is louder than my voice Is it too late to say I never moved on Hold me if I still belong to you Let me go before I beg you to Don’t keep me halfway Somewhere in your past When we’re rehearsing our last goodbye I almost said your name out loud But swallowed it down with the heat in my throat I’m not sure where you at now But I still flinch when a cicada sings Are we rehearsing our last goodbye?
