We were both very close,
like two peas in a pod.
Me and you against the world.
Why have we drifted?

We used to go out on sundays,
movie was our weekend thing,
and now those times are gone.
Why have we drifted?

You said you were doing all these for me,
so I can have a better future,
then you're asking me when will I leave home.
Why have we drifted?

And now you're out with some other girl,
coming home late,
is there no more family in us?
Why have we drifted?

I used to want to ask for hugs,
and maybe you were my shoulder to lean on,
now I don't even want to talk to anyone.
Why have we drifted?

You were my anchor,
my support,
and now all I ever want is to die.
Why have we drifted?

I am no watch dog,
waiting for you to come back.
I am sick of all of this.
Why have we drifted?

Where are you when I needed you most?
I was your little girl,
and you my hero.
Why have we drifted?

We have we drifted,
and we will just keep drifting
                  
                                        and drifting...
Feeling rather torn up because I can no longer find comfort in my dad.

I already feel sick, thinking of seeing you,
spending the night with you
and not even being able to really be with you
3 months still to go.
but I really want to go, and I can't let you hold me back
you're always holding me back,
from trusting, from loving from falling
3 months still to go.
what will I feel, what will I say, will I be able to read you
like you've always been able to read me.
I want to touch you, my body craves you
but I know you're not mine for the taking.
3 months still to go
they ask me if I can do this, I smile and say yes
yet I've never been more unsure in my life.
you were my person, you were my happiness
and you left me so empty, how could I ever move on...
3 months still to go...

I wanted simple
I craved teardrops
which came from rain
and not my eyes.

I wanted real
I craved feelings
which were honest, true
and not only lies.

But most of all,
I craved a package
labeled "You"
and all that came with it.

And no matter where I go
or what I'm doing in this place
No matter where I turn to
I will always hear your name

And I try not to miss you
but it's driving me mad
You ended up being
the best I never had.

"Someday I'll be enough"
I repeated to myself
Four, five days in a row
Held a blade, pressed down
Oh, how I craved the sorrow

"Everyday will be good"
I mumbled to myself
The city lights ruined my mood
Skipped a meal, got online
Oh, how I craved feeling blue

"One day, I'll be loved"
I thought to myself
Someone else got involved
A cute boy, a cute name
Oh, how I craved not to be alone

"That day is today"
I whispered to you
Won't let you walk away
Cause neither would I, from you
Oh, how utterly happy I am.
I feel like all the titles I'm using make me sound like a Fall Out Boy song and I'm pretty okay with that. written 5 months ago.

I've heard of  having the pleasure
of finding your true love. They say
nothing else matters to you once your
eyes meet. The songs say that you
would do anything to have the presence
of your soul mate with you.
The movies show two halves becoming
a whole.
Reality isn't so poetic. The movies
and songs didn't inform me of the
negative sides of love.
They didn't tell me how bad it
would continuously hurt if you
lost the one you thought you loved.
My favorite quote doesn't
relate to how ****** I feel a night
when I know he is just fine.
Or maybe I'm too young to know of
love. Whatever it is, it hurts just
the same.

Moving on isn't as easy as everyone might think.
As much as you try to, a part of you will not let go
of that little piece of hope. You might know that
it's useless and that you're wasting your time; however,
You can't help yourself. Your mind refuses to let
go of the past yet you are terrified of the future.
Maybe the one you lost has already moved on, still
emotions stay the same. No matter what you do
or what you say, deep down you know that not a
**** thing has changed. You hurt when you see
him or her happy but will not do anything about
it. Why would you?  You accept that this is how
it's going to have to be and you live with it
because that's what you know how to do.
