In life I have come across a pattern When your mind is feeling free And the rusted chains that once bonded your heart have fallen When the last candle is lit and your eyes are adjusting to the light They will appear, slow and unexpected Their name will creep up it will seem like an innocent accident They will not even think of your disposition when they call I know that I should be over him but mind has found itself falling underneath matter, I am feeling backwards I am convincing myself that I am still okay, I am not Let the words of me being happy for him burn up my throat as they fall out of my mouth, I try not to stutter The gasoline pools underneath my tongue and I manage a smile I know that this is for the better A friend of mine told me, "He had to move on sometime" He did, and I am glad he did Because I know what it feels like to wait on someone And I would hate for him to endure such an agonizing thing
