I remember when you told me to wait,
When you whispered not to leave without a hug,
How you curled your arm around my waist,
And kissed the sweet spot on my neck.
I remember the way you sounded in the early morning
And the way you rolled over and trapped me beneath,
Begging for five more minutes but keeping me for six.
I remember worrying about you on that winter night,
Scared to death that you'd slipped off the road.
You hadn't been answering your phone,
And I started to pace the tiled floor of your kitchen.
I remember when you told me to wait,
And I've been waiting ever since.

Six months since I've seen you last,
Can't forget all that filled our past,
I tried so hard to make you stay,
But you insisted on having it your way.

Six months since that day
You swore you'd never leave,
Making promises to stay,
To be with and love me from beneath.

I've tried so hard to forget the past,
To erase any thoughts left behind,
But my perseverance just won't last,
And I'm left to utter a goodbye
That never seemed to pass your lips.

Though my heart is broken,
It still wants more,
Of what, I do not know,
But I'm still hoping
For something, I'm not so sure.

We're bound to break
Can't you see
But we'll be okay
So don't you worry.

I try so hard to evade thoughts of you,
Yet in the rare occasion I become mesmerized by something other than you,
Memories come flooding back,
And I'm left to fight you off once more.
