They say there's a reason why The rearview is smaller than the windshield but I digress, it's a sick twisted thought in my mind that I cannot push away and haunts my soul each and every day Move on, they said. But what if I don't want to? What if they're wrong? What if they just don't know you like I do? Move on, I said. All I did was care Too much, you said I would never hurt you But my advances were arrows to you My heart was a gun and now I'm out of ammunition I walk these streets Broken and torn Reminded by the memories of us, now distant and forlorn I pull my hoodie strings as tight as they can go Hiding as much of myself possible to people I don't know With a permanently neutral expression on my face I'd give anything to erase The memories of what was once something good That's now slowly strangling me by the strings of my hood...

Move On

For the girl who couldn't grasp the fact that I cared about her...
