I heard you moved,
out of town.
Somewhere far away,
and I'm still waiting here.

And to think I was foolish enough,
to believe every word you said.
Let you and your lies,
get inside my head.

Sometimes I go to the grocery store,
just to make conversation.
Usually no one talks back.

So I give them my money,
the little I have left,
and take my candy bar,
and walk away.

I can feel them staring,
at me as I walk away.
I can feel your heartbeat,
why didn't you stay?

Read a book on moving on,
and it made me regress.
So I threw it in the fire.

I wonder if you're thinking of me,
or if I'm the only one.
I hurt just beneath the surface,
my insides are melting.

I can't seem to find,
a way to forget.
My mind says let go,
but my heart says no.

So if you're looking for me,
I'm most likely at the grocery store,
talking to all the cashiers.

I waited so long,
I cannot stand.
Could only be strong for so long,
I'm just man.
All I do is wrong,
not my plan.
I've carried your weight for so long,
did all I can.

You need to get on your feet,
and rise up again.
You need to stand tall,
and fight my friend.

I can't be here forever,
soon I'll fade away.

Watched you grow slowly,
into a man.
Made sure you learned to be,
best you can.

And if you can't be your best,
I'm still happy you tried.
But don't be afraid to try,
and touch the sky.

I won't be here forever,
but forever, I'll be proud.

I will always love you,
that you must know.
Never let this memory,
never let it go.

Comfort me with your love,
let it wrap its arms around me,
lift me to infinity.

I feel lost in the alleys of my mind,
no guiding light or love to shine.
I fall into the dark recesses of my mind.
If only you were on time,
you'd be a savior.

Now you're just late.

I question sometimes if there is a love,
I have felt it before,
or so I think.
But since then,
nevermore.

I feel as if though,
I'm not asking for much.
Just someone to kiss and hold,
and do such things till we grow old.

Or just be my guiding light,
through these dark times.

Is that too much to ask?
