My own world

0 posted 2005-06-04 09:34 PM



It’s the words left unsaid that remind me
You’re the one that got away.
I know that you’ve forgotten what feels like
To know that something got in the way.

Trying to see past the never ending images,
Remembrances of this vigorous game,
I consider whether you were ever there,
And wonder if love was worth all this pain.

It’s the sunsets at night, the walks in the rain,
That remind me you’re no longer there.
The only person you notice now is her,
And you never knew how much I truly cared.

Time goes by and I’m tempted to run back
But I know that no matter how hard I try,
I’ll always miss you, it’s an untreatable scar,
But I’ll never be the one to catch your eye.

I’m not going to put myself through that again,
The pain of seeing what we always were,
Cause, deep inside, I know it’s true,
To you…I’ll never be as good as her.
