Now when I say your name it feels like fire on my tongue
The lips that you once kissed tremble with sadness
I am haunted by the memories I can't seem to forget
I am burdened with the hope you keep instilling in me whenever you look my way
I am crazy to think you regret the chance you did not take
But once in awhile I see the sorrow I am feeling reflected in your brown green eyes
My hands are cold because they grew use to you holding them whenever you had the chance
My mind is full of all the things I could say out loud to you
But now that you are gone they sit there and torture me with their complexity
I cry when I see a sky without stars because I no longer have you to help me make something just as beautiful as the ***** of gas that usually litter the sky
Help me to understand why I was not worth the risk?
Please let me comprehend why I was not something you wanted to discover.
You take so many chances
Jump into so many situations
But I was the one you had to pass up on
And now I have to lay in my cold bed and wonder what I could have offered that would have made you want me
What more could I have given to get you try to be with me?
You were a fleeting moment
And I know that I will never get to relive you
But **** if I don't try to.
