Always Caught Up In You

 

It’s so hard to say goodbye. 

I was never very good at it. 

There are millions of things I’ll miss. 

A million things that will kill me,

When they’re meant for someone else. 

Goodbye is watching you go for the last time.

Knowing that it’s for the hope of a real love. 

Telling myself I’ll be okay. 

That someone will want life with me.

And that’s worth waiting for. 

One person not needing me, 

Doesn’t mean someone won’t live for me. 

Wishing and wanting someone to love you,

Just doesn’t make it so.

Hard lessons to learn, harder to admit.

A million looks on your face.

I’m sure will haunt my dreams. 

A voice that will live rent free in my head. 

A touch that meant everything to me.

But I’m a big girl and life goes on. 

Things change and people don’t want you anymore. 

You always knew you’re only worth it as long as you can stay new and shiny.

Once the excitement of something you couldn’t have fades,

I’m just plain old me. 

And I never was your favorite thing. 

Never for very long.

Never for forever. 

The End of An Era pt. II

 

Tell me it’s midnight and you can’t possibly live any longer without hearing my voice.

Tell me you see me everywhere you look, the gas station, the car, the clothes you wear. 

Tell me you don’t dream of the future without seeing me in, your plans intertwined with my presence. 

Tell me you literally can’t even imagine touching another girl because she’ll never feel like me.

Tell me that you can’t survive without me being your wife. 

Tell me that you care about what I want to talk about, that you care what the inside of my head looks like.

Tell me that you understand commitment, as long as it’s with me. 

Tell me I’ll always make your body feel something, every time you see me. 

Tell me that I’m the one you want to make happy, to care for, so that I can blossom for you.
