I see more than you know
As well, I see what you fail to show.
Those hidden in discrepancies
So blatant, you glow.
With lies, hidden beyond promising eyes.
What you see and what I see,
are parts of two different worlds.
A different half to another whole.
You only see what you want to see.
And trust me, It shows.
I can't begin to tell you,
how much you don't know.
I'll bet you didn't know,
I still have all those notes you wrote.
Way back then,
before cell phones were considered "in".
What seems like a lifetime ago
and although you haven't seen me in years,
I still want you to know.
That I always did love you,
regardless of her.
And even though,
none of us did win.
here in then end.
And with each passing day,
I can still feel your breath upon my skin.
like a blowing breeze against my whims.
Never quite touching me.
A gentle brush,
sweeping past my lips.
And in that moment
you cease to exist.
But all I really want,
is your lips upon my lips.
For the rest of my life,
just one lasting kiss.
That erases the bad, the ugly, the pain.
I really can't explain,
why you still make me feel this way.
So many years have passed
It makes absolutely no sense.
I thought time would fix, fix all of this.
But I'll never forget,
It's you that I'll always miss.
