I cried on your shoulder
Heart wrenching sobs
That I couldn't hold in
I guess I never realized
You loved me for me
And not the mask I show everyone
It's a game I play, I think
To ensure no one gets hurt
After all I've gotta be here
Gotta stay for my sisters, my brother
You made my world light up in color again,
I wish you had known that
So I spoke my final words on the subject
I won't open my mouth to speak them again
The words fell on near deaf ears
You didn't hear the unmistakable
Emotion behind what I was saying
And I'm glad you didn't realize
The words I was saying spelled out
Goodbye
Not goodbye for now
Nor goodbye forever
I've always believed that
If you're meant to be together
You'll find a way back
To being together
Right person, wrong time
Has a nice ring to it
But just how often is that a real thing
Isn't it just a delusion
For us to hold onto
Until our true "right person" comes along?
There is no such thing
As right person wrong time
Because if it was the right person
They would have made the timing work
It doesn't matter what either person is
Going through in day to day life
What matters is being able to lean
On each other's shoulders
Cry it out when you need to
Have arguments that lead to
I love you
What matters is not saying
I hate you
Or fuck you
Or nasty insensitive words
Designed to hurt the other person
You were my wrong person, right time
I can say I believe in that
Your not meant to be my person
But the timing was impeccable
You picked up my dusty broken heart
Pieced it back together
And only as of late
Did you start breaking it all over
This is a neverending cycle
Which one of us has to break
It's you or me against the world
And the world is gonna win
So I choose to break our cycle
And heaven help me
Wherever I end up after
