When you want to tell him you miss him Hold your tongue like you are hanging onto a ledge You are saving yourself by not letting go When you want to tell him you miss him Listen for your inner guidance You know what it will say, your heart cannot bear One more rejection When you want to tell him you miss him Think of why this all came to an end He used to be the one filled with apologies Look how the tables have turned When you want to tell him you miss him Think of her name, think of the girl who stimulates his heartbeat Think of how she is nothing like you Think of how her smile is plastered on every vacant space in his brain Think of how he is missing her in place of you When you want to tell him you miss him Don't, let the words slide down back into your gut where they belong Do not give him the leverage Let him think that you are missing someone else too Someone else who is not him
