Love,
   a feeling I truly miss!
To love another,
   ah such sweet bliss.

But,
   for one to love another;
   is to first love thy self,
For,
   when love fades,
   your shattered heart
   is what you have
   left.

Those lips that I kissed tonight
Didn't taste like you.
The black cotton shirt I clung to
Didn't smell like you.
So I kissed him harder.
And I pulled him closer.
I tried to push you away.
I wanted to conceal you
In my darkest memories.
But when he walked away
Without a glance,
I realized that
My lips,
My arms,
My everything,
Weren't enough for him either.

It doesn’t matter how hard I try,
I still see you.

No matter how hard I try
To scrub my thoughts free of you,
I still see you.

I still see you in the smiles of little kids,
Still see you in the anger of men
Still see you in the little things I do,
How I laugh at the mishaps of other and myself
And heartbreak,
To make the situation not that bad.
All I see is you.

But no matter what I do,
I can never see you coming back,
Maybe that’s why I keep looking behind my back
Looking around corners
And looking in between cracks
Maybe that’s why I still cling onto you
Maybe that’s why I still write about you,
Because I secretly hope you’ll come back.

No matter what I do, I still see you.

I used to get lost
In your big blue eyes.
Now I get lost
In the memory of them.
