Slices Of Life

Attention

I was lying,

When I said I am okay with being ignored,

Cause whenever the phone rings,

I hope it was you.

I was lying,

When I said I am okay with not seeing you,

Cause even a glimpse of you,

Makes my heart stir.

I was lying, 

When I said I don't care if you hate me,

Cause the thought of us being strangers to each other,

Scare me more than the nightmares I have,

I was lying,

When I said I don't care if it is not me,

Cause the thought of you being in love with someone else,

Makes me want to cry.

It was never a lie,

When I said I love you for who you are,

Cause even after all this time,

Your attention is all I crave.
