I miss you.
I want you but I know I you're something I can't have.
I want to, but
I just can't let go.
Like every other person, you left.
All alone, it's me.
I'm the problem as always.
It's certainly just not meant to be.
Never has been and all that jazz.
Another opportunity gone left lonely and hurt.
I barked up the wrong tree.
but that's the norm, and  all the tears that follow are supposed to be there,
But I'm aware that you're not here for me.
Like you are your girl and I pretend I'm fine.
I don't want to be in the way.
Just wish for once you would stay.
Just for a minute.
Kiss me for a minute.
Please make me feel special just for a minute
It's just not meant to be.
I figured out there wouldn't be a we, a while ago, and you know; it doesn't hurt so bad.  When you go away.
Yet I'm still here alone.
Wishing you would stay.
I still cry because you chose her and not me.
You taught me to laugh and to not worry
Now I feel ill.
I just simply hurry through life, trying not to feel.
Because you made my feelings so valid and real.
But wait, were they real?
'Cause now that you're no longer here.
I still see the same colors, but they're a different shade.
Without you, they've  faded.
Just like me
