It's always you that I should forget about,
it's your name that I should lock permanently from these lips
but all you have to do is just say hello,
and in an instant, everything in the past is forgotten.
A fresh slate is what I wish for late at night
where no one can read these thoughts of mine,
reality shows me what I can not have
and so I press on with him faithfully.
But then the slightest mention of you,
and I just fall to pieces once more,
you bring me to tears without words
I want to die when you say goodnight.
Pleading with myself to let it go,
to forget everything that we once had,
it's been said that you're happy now,
but happiness with you is as fleeting as the wind.
And so I sit here and pretend, pretend on and on
that my heart doesn't scream your name in my dreams,
that my fingertips don't bleed from writing of you and me.
So tell me once again, someone tell me once more
tell me to forget about him when I'm with someone else
tell me to erase his name from everything I know,
and I know that it will never work.
Because loving him is like breathing,
I do it even without thinking
and these lame attempts at friendship don't work,
they only delay the inevitable.
I will get hurt, I will get burned by you again
and sometimes it just feels too good to forget.

Great poem.
So much realness in it.

I have been through this before, and I am sure you nor I will be the last...

If its hurting you so much to love him, and as much as reality (the fact u might just have to move on) hurts....its better to put yourself through less pain than more to just stick around and wait for him to decide to push in that last inch of the sword.

There are many people out there for you, just keep your standards high and learn from your experiences and you can overcome all of this

keep posting/replying

I left my wallet in El Segundo...
And I gotta get it
I got got to get it!

I really liked those lines. And
I can really relate to this.

Great write.
