Loving You


It hurts more

Not to feel anything

It cuts deeper

When I don't chase after you

I remember

I recall

It seems forever ago

When you and I

Were so in love

But it's just me

Falling in the wrong direction

As you struggle

To keep a hold on me

 

These days

My mind is closed

Shutting you out

And as I grow colder

You fight harder

I'm sure by now

Your fists are raw and bloody

You fight so hard

And all I want sometimes

Is to watch you leave

You soothe me

In ways no one else can

Even after all this time

It's nice to be yours

And know you're mine

But after all this time

Sometimes I look back at you

And cry

 

I'll leave

My heart by the bed side

On the nightstand

And hope someday

When you're not angry

You'll understand

You'll finally see

Goodbye had nothing to do with you

And everything to do with me

One day

When it doesn't hurt so much

When you can't remember

My touch

And how I felt

Wrapped around you

One day

When it doesn't hurt so much

 

But until then

Right now

Wrap your arms tighter around me

Keep me together

From falling away

Whether it's coming sooner or later

Or never

Hold on to me

As if

You'll never see me again

Because one day

When I can't take it

When the lies come undone

I want you to remember me

Loving you
