It has been awhile
Awhile
Since I last talked to you
Since you last looked at me
Since you last smiled
It’s been awhile
And every time I see your pained face
A little part inside of me is burns
I recently found that letter you gave me
Our first and only valentines
I reread it
I reread every last word
Hoping to find you somewhere
Somewhere in your words
I really should just let it burn
Let it burn like all our memories
Let it burn like everytime I see your face
Let it burn
Because it still burns
The way you left me
It still burns whenever you avoid me
It burns when I see your sad
It burns
It burns bad
It’s been a month or so
I still wonder if you think of me
The way I still think of you
I wonder if my warmth haunts you
Like it haunts me
Because it burns
I remember the first time I saw your face
Your smile still taunts me
It still makes me sad
It breaks my heart to know I’m just like all the others
Hurting you
Breaking you
Breaking your trust
It hurts to know we can’t go back
It hurts to know we’ll never be the same
It hurts to know that things have changed
It hurts to know you hate me now
It hurts to know because it burns
It burns like a letter to a flame
It burns like your words on my heart
It burns like your smile in the back of my mind
And it burns like that letter will one day
It’ll all burn
