Whenever we kissed I felt electricity
Whenever we touched he sent chills up my spine
Whenever we cuddled I felt safe in his embrace
Whenever he looked at me...he smiled
Whenever he smiled I melted

Now we don't kiss, we don't touch unless it's for a high five or a pity hug. We don't cuddle...and whenever he smiles...it's not for me. He doesn't look my way. He can't tell when I'm not happy. And now...I won't get my kiss in the rain, or a long walk on a beach. I won't get to yell at our kids to stop playing in the street. He promised me that he would never leave...that was a promise he didn't keep. Now I'm his pathetic ex that won't get over him. I still love him while he's trying to move on with another woman.

Now whenever he looks at me...I see hate.
He doesn't smile
He gives me a pity grin
Or nothing at all
I feel like I annoy him whenever I come talk to him
So now I'll just stay away
Be silent
Be still
Be nothing
Because in his eyes...that's what I am now...

Nothing
