i want to apologize to myself
for tricking my mind
into thinking that if you left
it was no one's fault but mine.
i want to tell my heart sorry
for telling it lies
saying i'm not me without you
like morning without sunrise.
i want to promise my body
it was beautiful before
you told me it was
and it will be forevermore
i want to open my eyes
i want to make myself see
i don't need anyone
and no one needs me
i want to wipe the tears from my cheeks
that contain hopeless unrest
'cause your touch isn't the only thing
that will feel so intense
i want to silence my lips
that still scream your name
because without your lips on them
they'll still be the same
i am still me
my heart still beats
my body's still beautiful
and my lips are still sweet
i have no reason to cry
from my now-open eyes
'cause even when you're gone
they still shine bright
with you here, with you gone
who i am remains the same
although your arms are my favorite place
if you let go, i'll be okay.
