Five Steps Back

The times I stop and think.. They always push me five steps back. They make me think what if? And then my heart attacks. I struggled just to place- one foot ahead of the other. And now im back where I first fell, drowning and being smothered, by the relapse of your scent, I was tortured all last night. But they say that’s it’s ok. It was never meant to be. But they said that about the moon. And we have surely walked it’s beat. So maybe if I try. To sleep alone tonight. I will figure out just why. We were never meant to fly. But you mean so much to me. And I think that it is love. Because you're all that's in my head, you’re all I’m dreaming of. And I cannot wish away, the feeling of your hand. It's forever here to stay, on another man And I hope you get the best. You deserve nothing less. But in my heart you will always be "The one that got away." The one who's never coming back, and surely now I am five steps back.
