looking at it now, it's funny to think of all the times i thought we'd stay the same,
it hurts a certain part of my heart, throat runs dry before i take your name,
does it put a smile on your face when you remember our inside jokes?
the times i'd cheer you up and stay by your side when you got your fragile heart broke?
was i just another replacement, a place to vent and cry?
because you sure as hell didn't treat me so at the time,
then why walk away from me and pretend everything is fine?
leaving me to interpret what's left of us, you go provoke a war ;
within me,
your apologies are worthless when you don't know what you're sorry for,
but why is it that memories of you continue to haunt me still?
why can't i let you go like you did me so easily?
perhaps the reason beneath is because you saw a tomorrow in me when i saw a forever in you,
and if only i knew, i'd try not to fall for you head over heels,
you made it crystal clear how much i mean to you,
and i won't be the one to disturb that peace you've attained now,
and maybe we were built together as one only to fall apart,
i've waited long enough for you to come mend this shattered heart,
and all while long i kept asking myself if we were out of the woods yet?,
but maybe you ran away and left me to get caught in the tall trees,
but i have broken out of the cages built and set myself free,
and i kept my promise and looked for you to runaway together,
but your footprints on the sand told me everything i needed to know,
letting you in wasn't a mistake and maybe neither is letting you go.
