Misses C


To the one who got away,Misses C.

Hey C, it's been a minute since we last talked

and i have so much to tell you-

but not enough words to waste.

 

As I lay in my bed at night,

Dreaming of the life

that we used to talk about,

growing old together,

raising two little babies 

from the ground up.

 

I miss so deeply of the life we could of had,

the one that we should have had,

but sadly life doesn't work in the way

you want it to.

 

As you lay awake in your bed,

do you think of me the way

i think of you?

 

The way that i cry out for help

and my thoughts always drift to you,

the way that i talk about you to my friends,

to my family,

to anyone who would put up with me

long enough to listen.

 

I could probaly answer my own questions,

but it's always good to be 

A little delusional sometimes.

 

It can be good for the soul

and good for the mind.

Cause having a fantasy that you live in

is a lot better then dealing 

with the actual pain of letting go

of something that you've grown deeply attached too.

 

Misses C,

I hope this message find's you well

that you take the time out of your day 

to read the words of your ex lover,

who is still deeply in love with you.

 

We might get older and drift away

maybe stop talking to each other completly 

but always know,

that you will have a special place in my heart,

now and in our next life's.
