You and Me
I’d call you today
If there was a way
For it to be like it once was
Like everyday was Valentine’s day, just because
I still remember that first day
When I heard you say
That I was yours and you were mine, forever
That this would one day happen to us, never
Never would I have imagined that this was the way it was going to be
That one day, it would not be just you and me.
We were once so close
Now you are a memory
A mere ghost
I sit here, staring at this concrete wall
I see colors, red and blue, from deep within
But you’ll never see what I feel, even though it shows to the world, like glass skin
I fight the memories, the ghosts the demons
All the pasts, presents, and should have beens
If you are a memory
Why won’t you let go of me
Why won’t you move on, like you said
But you stand outside, looking in, instead
Mocking me, just like the rest of the world
I cannot retaliate, only suffer in silence
Wishing that one day you will see
But you never will.
