Spring Fling

[ Lyrics ]

Perfect 'cause it wasn’t forever.
 → tambourine lift into groove

Found your hoodie in the back of my closet,
dust on the sleeve, but I didn’t toss it.
Smelled like rain and that cheap peach wine,
like Friday nights stretched into nine.
I smile now when my phone lights up slow —
it’s not you, but I don’t miss you in that way you know.
No ghost in the sheets, no ache in my chest,
just a sweet little echo I let myself keep.

We lit too bright to last through June,
meant for April, not monsoon.
No cracks, no blame, no unfinished tune —
just two perfect circles that happened to move in tune.

Perfect 'cause it wasn’t forever,
didn’t need a reason or some grand endeavor.
Perfect like a song you can’t remember,
but it plays in your chest when the light gets tender.
Perfect 'cause it wasn’t forever —
we were spring, not a storm to weather.
 — harmonies stack)

Saw the cherry blossoms fall last week,
pink snow on the sidewalk, just out of reach.
Thought of you mid-sip at my usual cafe,
laughed 'cause I remembered how you said, 'They look fake.'
Took a pic anyway, filtered in rose,
didn’t send it — just let the moment close.
I don’t wish you were here, I don’t dream of the long run,
but damn, baby, we did something right, didn’t we, love?

No scars, just a soft refrain,
a warmth that returns like a summer rain.
Not stuck in the past, just fond in the after —
we didn’t break time, we just learned to savor.

Perfect 'cause it wasn’t forever,
didn’t need a reason or some grand endeavor.
Perfect like a song you can’t remember,
but it plays in your chest when the light gets tender.
Perfect 'cause it wasn’t forever —
we were spring, not a storm to weather.

I won’t call it loss, I won’t call it betrayal,
just a love that fit perfectly inside a small scale.
A season with edges, clear as a bell —
we said everything beautiful by not saying farewell.

Perfect 'cause it wasn’t forever,
grew too fast to root, but we got it together.
Perfect like the end of a fever,
waking up grateful instead of clever.
Perfect 'cause it wasn’t forever —
we burned just enough to last me whenever.

Yeah… perfect 'cause it wasn’t forever.

Spring fling…
