regret starts to burn months and months since you left

i pushed you away,
i wish i could have done things differently

but i can't

sometimes when i miss you,
i play
the one that got away by katy perry

because,
you were the one that got away

in another life,
i would make you stay
so i don't have to say you were the one
that got away

i felt upset at you,
but it was never you

i've been trying to contact you,

but it seems like you're so far away
when you're literally half an hour away from me

i miss your voice,
your kind words

i miss your big brown eyes,
i miss you calling me baby girl

when i never liked being like that

so what,
will you come back?

or are you the one that got away?
