Two Years

Two years ago you loved me

Now you love her

And I love you

I always have

I always will

Two years didn't get rid of it

Other men didn't get rid of it

It's always there

In the back of my mind

The boy that became a man

The one I grew to love

And I loved you fiercely

Though I know I never

Expressed it well

And was afraid of many things

That part was real and unwavering

Three long years

That turned into ash and dust

Because I let you down

Failed to make you realize

My love was there

And it was strong

So strong that every time

I forgot why I was angry with you

And just wanted to hear from you

So strong that to this day

You are still my greatest love

But I guess none of that matters now

You moved on and found someone else

It's been two long years

Without you in my life

I wish I had never pushed you out

And I know that I sound crazy

That's fine

I think I took some of yours

Somewhere along the way

Don't mind my words too much

I'm just a little unsteady lately

A bit of a wreck

Can't take me seriously

Emotions going in every direction

Body telling me that I'm sick

Though it's only my mind in ruins

Right

Here I go again getting off track

I can't say that I'm happy for you

Because I'm not

I wish things were different

I wish that woman was me

I'm not happy that you found someone

To replace me so quickly

I'm not happy that you're going

To spend the rest of your life

Making someone else happy

But I am happy for your happiness

You deserve it
