All I remember is you telling me you were so happy that you could actually live,
Now I can't escape the fact that I love you,
It's exactly how they said it would be,
Some days I'm okay and I'm happy because I know that this is for the better,
But some days every fibre of my being cries out for you,
the stuff I loved I just don't seem to love anymore,
Because the minute we realized we were twins,
It became our stuff,
I didn't realize that when you left you would take everything I loved with you,
I know you don't care,
But I'm mad that you're not in my life anymore,
I'm mad that you said we were forever and lied,
And I'm mad that even though I know the pain will stop one day,
It feels like I'm already dead,
And after everything you left me with the note,
"I'm not even gonna count this".
