A Girl in a Forgetful World

Maybe You'll Come Back to Me

I close my eyes,

And memories fly. 

All the happy moments

Flutter by

And I wonder

If you see them, too.

Do you miss me as much as I miss you?

You text me all the time,

Asking for forgiveness...

But in person,

In real life, 

Not just real time,

You act fine. 

Just like when you were with her...

I wonder if there's a difference.

It seems like every day

I think to text you

And say "I forgive you."

But then I realize it's not my place to.

I already ruined you.

And you already ruined us.

I hope 

And wish

And pray

That maybe...

Maybe you'll come back to me.

Maybe we'll be okay,

Maybe we'll be happy again.

Maybe you'll find the right words to say,

Something that will touch my heart

Instead of break it.

Maybe it'll all be okay,

Maybe we can move on.

I hate the word 'maybe',

But it's what I need.

I tell myself

Not to believe in false hope,

But I miss you.

That is a fact I cannot deny.

I really do miss you.

I really do love you.

I really do need you.

You've said those phrases to me before,

And I turned my cheek the other way.

I couldn't believe you,

I couldn't believe what you'd done.

I can't believe you'd hurt me like that,

That you could so easily give up

On me.

You were the only person who told me

You believed I could do anything.

You reminded me every morning

When you said "I love you."

Please don't tell me that was all for nothing.

I know you still have my hair tie

At your house.

It's probably sitting on your nightstand,

Just like the framed pictures you took of us.

I saw you wear it around your wrist one day,

On the right,

Just like I do.

You kept it...

After all this time...

You kept it.

Maybe you can save me,

Maybe you can save us.

Maybe we can fight,

And maybe we can survive.

It feels impossible to believe.

I already tried.

It's your turn. 

Maybe we'll work through this,

Maybe it's still love.

Maybe I'll forgive you...

Maybe you'll come back to me.
