i like him
i really do
except for the fact
that he's not you
he's charming
sweet and loves my eyes
except his blue ones
match the skies

and yours were brown
earth, chocolate, coffee
within my mind i drown
in memories of
you and me
your laugh, your smile,
your empathy

it hurts to breathe
and as hard as i try
to like his touch
it borders a lie
for each night
and day i crave
my heart it deeply aches
to move on, to be brave

let me go, please
i can barely stand
without you here at least
holding my hand
so yes i like him
but here's the catch
i still love you
he's not my match
