The One That Got Away


I feel entirely empty, so lost & distant; You leave me nothing, but a reminiscent; I hear your name and my heart skips beats; I try to cope, but always experience defeat; I never thought I would become so attached; The only thing I wait for now is an inevitable heart attack; Sometimes I feel like I'm meant to suffer; Because nothing hurts worse than losing a significant other; I will always love you, even when my world crumbles; I've made it this far, so I don't think it'll be much trouble; I know you think the worst of me for the things I've said; But they're just words, nothing like the feelings I've bled; One day you'll understand, but I fear it'll be too late; For I will have moved on, but I'll always remember, even the first date; I love you and wish you the best; I pray you feel the same, so I can put my mind to rest;
