Fogged windows
City lights
Easy smiles
Until my eyes meet yours
And everything swirls around us
Everyone freezes
Until it's just us
Eyes locked
Forced smile
Bright and fresh memories
Everything we could have been
And everything we aren't
That's what haunts me most
The things we could be
But never can
Heads on shoulders
Arms around my waist
All but a dream
You chose her
I should have seen it coming
But I am now reminded
Of what I lost
And learning to see what I gained
Because city lights
Remind me of the future
And how there is still life to be lived
And you are only a spec compared to what I will achieve
And it makes letting you go easier
I won't make you fight for me
I always fight too hard
And yearn too much
So I will sit back
Avert my eyes
And let you go
Because my future is still bright
And you aren't in it
