I look back at the past
When we were in love
I really thought we'd last
I thought we'd make it past
Past all the bumps in the road
Past all the **** people spoke
our way.

Anyway,
If anyone should've asked
I would've responded right away
"He is the one. Forever he will stay"

I glance at the pillow beside me
Awakened for a new day
That pillow which lingers of your smell
Where your head would gently lay
As you wrapped your arms around me
Washing all of life's troubles away

But I knew our love was lethal
We were deadly.
We were toxic
Our love was out of this world
We were magic.
We were cosmic
We drained each other for all we had
We were selfish.
We were ironic
To love someone and leave them with nothing.
That which is tragic.

They say time heals all wounds
I could've spent a lifetime
Mourning over you
And for a while I was numb
My heart felt nothing
I was nothing.

But I've finally learned to feel again
To glance at the sky and smile
But I'd do it all over again
If it means having you around for a while.
"Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."
