Words were said
But they weren't meant
They were make believe
And more than a little bent
Bedroom eyes
Silly smiles, kissing lips
Tangled limbs
And bare skin beneath fingertips
Rapid heartbeats
Butterflies when we're near
How can you miss me
When I'm standing right here?
I've never been so comfortable
Never felt so close
Never wanted to be around someone
Or minded being exposed
Talking came easy
We were best friends
Fights always resolved
Communication to make ammends
Words went unspoken
Things started to go wrong
Feelings remained hidden
For far too long
What was whole
Now is broken
What was warm
Now seems frozen
We meant the world
To each other
But none of that matters
If he longs for another
Reaching out
But his back is turned
I call out, scream
But he seems unconcerned
None of what we had
Seems to matter anymore
Stop holding on.
Try to close the door.
Try to move on,
Hold your head high
Stifle the hurt,
Don't let them see you cry...
