I was happy until I met you
And you showed me all the things I never admitted I was missing
And now I'm left just missing you
Cause timing is more of a ***** than karma ever was
And she loves to play with the hopelessly devoted
You whispered so close that your breath tickled my lips

"I'm sorry. I get the feeling that you've had to do things on your own. A lot. And I'm sorry that you've been taught to believe that's the way life works. I'm truly sorry. Because you deserved more."

And that kiss you placed on my cheek?
Still burns as if you were next to me right now
Boys taught me if I wasn't beautiful
Then I was nothing
They abused my emotions
Until I did whatever the hell it took
To become whatever attractive was
I've been told that I am now
But I could never explain to you why
They always mention my eyes?

Boys taught me if I wanted to get anywhere in life
Then I needed to manipulate their desires
So they'd fall into a trap
And feel things that could never be fulfilled
They trained me to walk and smile a certain way
So I could get what I needed
As they held it in their hands

Boys taught me that my body is the greatest feature I could ever offer
Bottle up any emotions
Because they'd rather not deal with mine
Because feeling is scary
And girls are supposed to be easy
They'd make me dependent
Without taking any responsibility for my mental well-being

Sure
Girls are insane
But wouldn't you be too
If you had the weight of man's world
Suffocating you?

Sure
Girls are crazy
But wouldn't you be too
If your whole life you were taught that you wouldn't be hurt
If you were beautiful
But when you become beautiful
It becomes their greatest form of abuse?
I pulled out the story of us
And was shocked to see how much dust it had collected
Has it really been that long?
I reread every tear-stained page
Regretfully remembering the way you taste
I felt the lingering of your kiss on my neck
Oh, my body aches to feel it again
No ones ever been quite like you
And the pain never softens
No matter how much ***** I consume
To drown the memory of you

So just know that I am still yours
Even after all this time
And you may kiss me
Whenever you'd like
The way you did before
I want to runaway
Start all over
Forget about all the people I love
Abandon the story I thought I wanted to write
And start a whole new one
With new people
New places
And a new me

I want to believe that I could disappear
And this life that I led for the last 19 years
Would disappear too
And no one would notice
So I could leave with no regrets
And not hear so many voices ringing in my ears
"I wanted to wait."*
She thought to herself.

He got dressed.
There sat your hand
Craving to be intertwined with mine
There were your eyes
Looking away avoiding mine
There were your lips
Begging that the distance between them be ended forever

There was you
Sitting perfectly still and no clue how desperately I have fallen for you
I love you
I know I'm not supposed to
But dear lord
When I watch you listen to me talk
I almost can't keep my train of thought
Because I get lost in the depth of affection
You pour into my soul

I want so desperately to be a part of you
Connected to you
Experiencing you
But the universe would have to bend over backwards for that to happen
And I think they're feeling a bit lazy right now
