Goodbye comes far too fast, far too soon, I'm not ready to lose you, months gone in the blink of an eye, and suddenly I am cracked wide open, I know that I don't have a say it's already too late, but if you could hear me now I would beg you to pick me, I would give up everything to be by your side, one last kiss is not enough to salvage the hole you left in me, it's obvious, the pain in my eyes, tears lingering on the precipice before i fall, tonight will be the hardest night of all, but I know inside, that the choice was never mine, and the things I love about you the most are the very reasons you won't stay, no matter how many secrets we whispered in the darkness, I will never be your light, but what I would give to shine in your eyes, to love by your side, and I hope it hurts for you, for even a fraction of the pain I feel, at least then I'd know some of it was real, but you, you will probably never see the way I have shattered inside, never see the hole you've rended in me, how do I put myself back together in the aftermath of you? And I can't even let it show, I must break silently, with your name tearing at my throat, choking on the very air I breathe, I didn't realize oxygen could taste so bitter, without your scent to invade my senses, your presence lingering in every thought as if only I could will you back to me, could you love me half as much? Could you need me the way I need you? If only, but we both know I was just a game to you, left me here with radio silence and I can hear the crackling in the absence of you, lost in translation, how can I love you so much and you care so little?
