No more

The ghost

-------------------------------------------------------------
The prints and statues you left in my world
Have crumbled and lay untouched.
I thought the prints and statues I left in yours
Have crumbled and gathered dust.
You were no long part of mine
And I no longer part of yours.
So why is it that now I find myself
Standing before you once again saying hello?
Our worlds colliding once more.

The past is past is what they said
But the past will haunt you when you least expect.
You are the ghost that haunts me.
You brought back the memories and feelings
That I thought were long gone
And I loathe you for it.
I loathe you for it because
I thought they were gone.
I loathe you for it because
You have just complicated my life once more.

Yet I love you for it.
I love you for it because
Even for a brief moment in time
I felt tingly and warm.
I love you for it because
Now I know you truly care.

But life is not so easy.
Life moves on
And so have I.
It breaks my heart
To break yours once more.
To see the pain I caused you
And the tears in your eyes.

But one day I hope you'll forgive me.
One day I hope you'll look back
And see how it didn't hurt only you.
One day you'll realize
I made the right choice.

So now there will be no more yearning.
No more looking back.
No more you and I.
