If there was one sight
I wish I never saw...
It would be your back
as you walked away
from what we had.

I find it hard to open up again.
I'm scared I'll have to watch you walk
while I sit alone reaching out to a distant memory.

You said you'd always love me
so why do I sit here alone at 3am
wondering where it went wrong.

You said you'd always love me
I didn't know always meant until
you got bored.

I've always had trouble sleeping.
It used to be because I'd stay up
every night
just to talk to you.

Now it's because it's cold
every night
without you warming my heart
and the tears don't seem to stop
without you there to wipe them away.

I know it's winter,
but it feels so cold.
It's a different kind of cold.
The kind that grips
your heart
and never lets go.

The kind that swallows
you as you lay awake at 3am.
The kind that slowly
washes over you
and breaks your soul.

And I wonder if it's
because I've been left
without the warmth
of your heart.

I told myself
I'd forget
every moment
every laugh
that I shared
with you.

But as I
lay awake
at 3am
I find it hard
to let go of
my best
memories.
