I wish I could feel the same feelings when I kiss him But the problem is He is not you Nor will he ever be. Maybe that's not a bad thing; Maybe the feelings you gave me Were too extreme for me to hold. Maybe since he doesn't bring me those feelings of pure happiness He won't bring me crashing into that dark hole of loneliness either; That hole that I know All too well. But what's the point of it all If I'm just pretending to be content with the way he kisses my neck And grabs my hips When I'd much rather have your clumsy fingers brush my side And tuck my hair behind my ear? What's the point of it all If my smile is due to my memory Of you kissing me And not because he's kissing me? There is no point of floating in shallow lakes When the deep ocean is just a few steps away.

You're forever etched in my memory.
I wish I could feel the same feelings when I kiss him But the problem is He is not you Nor will he ever be. Maybe that's not a bad thing; Maybe the feelings you gave me Were too extreme for me to hold. Maybe since he doesn't bring me those feelings of pure happiness He won't bring me crashing into that dark hole of loneliness either; That hole that I know All too well. But what's the point of it all If I'm just pretending to be content with the way he kisses my neck And grabs my hips When I'd much rather have your clumsy fingers brush my side And tuck my hair behind my ear? What's the point of it all If my smile is due to my memory Of you kissing me And not because he's kissing me? There is no point of floating in shallow lakes When the deep ocean is just a few steps away.
