I realized something today
As I am stuck in the same place
As you are far away
I've let you control me
Even when you aren't in my life
You've dictated my happiness
For much too long
I was in love
With everything about you
For so long I've made myself believe
I still loved you
And yes darling it's true
I am still in love
But not with you
I'm in love with who you used to be
I'm in love with the way you once made me feel
I'm in love with the beautiful memories
But that's the thing
I'm only in love with who you were
And all you once meant to me
I don't know who you are now
So how could I possibly be
Still in love with you
When you are now a stranger
I don't miss you
I miss who you were
I miss being in love
I only miss the moments I have lost
So yes I admit
I will always be in love
I will always miss you
But not the way you think

Time, why do you run from me
destroying everything
I’ve tried so hard to build?
Why do you tease me
gifting precious moments
only to rip them away?
Why do you play your evil game
causing the people I love
to suddenly disappear?
Why do you hate me
stealing my happiness
each time you move your hand?
Time, you are my enemy
Im constantly fighting
to hang on to the moments
I know you soon will steal.
So I desperately beg you
“please time please
be on my side
why can’t you just once
let him stay
I love him too much
don’t play your cruel game”
but you turn with a grin
and move your sly hand
I’m defeated again.
I know its too late
with tears in my eyes
I look at my love
and watch you laugh
as you steal him away.

I will always be
the person
who remembers everything
about the one person
who forgot
everything

Why is letting go of you
the hardest thing I'll ever do
when you said goodbye to me
so easily
I can’t forget it
though I’ve tried
I can’t erase it
from my mind
I just replay your love
I think of it all of the time
because I don’t want to live
in a world without you
so now I’m stuck
in an everlasting blue
constantly wishing for your return
but you have moved on
we've had our turn
our beautiful fire
has already burned
Maybe its foolish
to hope for a spark again
but I will never let go
I will never give in
my darling I loved you then
I love you still
I love you now
and I know I always will

They say burned out flames
should never reignite
but my love,
I always thought you might.

I will forever remember
Those beautiful deep brown eyes
That you thought were so plain.
But darling, you could not see:
how could you possibly see?
The way they shined in the sun
breathtaking hues of mahogany
Melting into golden rays
Circling an eclipse
your “plain brown eyes”
truly aren’t plain at all
they are a stunning mixture
of every color known to man
The most beautiful sunset on earth.
