Midnight Memories

m i d n i g h t // m e m o r y

We met today

I don't remember how, or when exactly

All I remember is you smiled, and so did I

For the first time in a while

And all I know is that I fell in love with every piece of you

We held hands today

You slipped yours into mine

An action so small to you, but meant so much to me

And I held on tight, because I knew you wouldn't hold on forever

I knew that one day you would let go

We kissed today

Your lips on mine was all I wanted to know

Everyday for the rest of my life

You saved me that day, you gave me hope again

But hope, I guess, is as fleeting as the love you give

I gave you my all today

I hoped, that maybe, you would see that you had become my everything

I cried, and you tried to comfort me, but I knew you didn't understand

So I pushed you away

Before you had the chance to do the same to me

You broke my heart today

Without even saying a word

You looked at me, and I knew what I had really known all along

So I watched you go

And I watched you take my heart and soul with you

Today a little bit of me died

I haven't been the same without you

And I try to numb the pain

But the other boys and empty bottles can't fill the hole that you left inside me

Even though I keep trying to drown you away

Today, I saw you with her

You didn't see me, but I was there

Invisible to you as I always was

You smiled at her like you once smiled at me

And I wonder if she knows that smile means about as much to you as all the notches in your bedpost

Today, you saw me

I saw you looking, and I saw you wave

My palms grew sweaty, my heart beat faster, and I was rendered speechless, just like the day we met

You saw me, and you knew that I still belonged to you, that I always would

You saw me, and you knew that I fell in love with every piece of you

All over again
