Sitting here

cold

praying that you'd come back
like they always do in the movies

everyday
you used to walk me to class
and now everyday
i pause and wait
to see if you've changed your mind

if you'll meet me here today
everyday
for five months
i have continued
to wait for you

"there will never be another girl like you"
were the last of the words you said to me

so then who is she
i know who she is
but why her
she will never be like me
even i can see that

seeing you with her
it makes my mind roar
and my heart weep
it makes my eyes crinkle
and my hands shake
it makes my breath stop
and knees weak

how am i supposed to do this
everyday
until i don't have to see you again
i know that eventually i will come back
on my knees
begging for forgiveness
for something i didn't even do
but i love you enough that i will take the blame
for the action that broke my heart
