I miss you so much
I know I did you wrong
and I know I can't ask you to stay
cuz you look so happy with her
I can't take that away from you
so I watch from a distance
as your life moves on without me

if you throw a plate on the ground,
it will shatter into tiny pieces,
if you say sorry to it,
nothing changes.
apologies just aren't going to fix what's broken.

His calloused hands holding my artist’s fingers,
His strong arms wrapped around my fragile body,
His confident stride next to my nervous step,
His wounded eyes staring into my light gaze,
His boldness advancing over to my pure lips,
His jaded heart brought back to life with my tenderness,
His free spirit touching my caged soul,
So many differences,
Yet our love is all the same.

The late-night talks,
The cute text messages and compliments,
The small dates,
The innocence in every word,
The hearts of two becoming one,
An incredible shared experience.
But what happens when this all gets old,
When the late-night talks turn into ignoring each other’s call,
When the messages and compliments disappear,
When the dates cease,
When the innocence turns bitter,
Everything falls apart,
Including the hearts of those who fell.
Yes, love is great,
But does it ever last?
