i sat in your space
a place
where so many times we had talked
but not seen
fingers typing on a lit up screen
your house was different then i expected it to be
but still
i could see where you would have sat
talking to me
the roof where you stared at the stars
the road where so many cars
passed you by
but why is it
when i went to leave
it felt as though a part of me stayed
in another universe
maybe i did
maybe he wasn't real
and you were all i knew
maybe he stayed away
miles across the sea
and i fell for you
and you for me
but as i moved to the door
you stayed where you were
you made your decision
and i made mine
and as you sit at home
and i sit in bed
surrounded yet alone
at least i know
that i belong to him
and you?
well i hope you find someone
who's willing to stay
just remember
it could have been me.
