Forever and Always

I fell into the pattern of forever and always

Forever alone and always looking for someone to save me

To sweep me off my feet into a world that isn’t available to me and only me

But where is that? Does it exist?

Or is it just the way that falling in love tends to taint every situation into memories

Memories of you and I, memories of every single one of those nights

With different boys, and different girls

I always claimed I had the best of both worlds, but I just think I couldn’t

Stand to limit myself when looking for love

Because I could never find it

Not in the darkest corners of any relationship I had nor the brightest glimpses

The stereotypical fairytale love I was searching for didn’t exist

There was no one to treat me like a princess

But I was determined to be one

In 3 months it’ll have been a year since you’ve been gone

A year since I called you mine and I’ve moved on

I fell in love with a girl with long blonde hair

A giving heart and smile to spare

Someone who just looking at I would’ve turned away so that she was someone

I couldn’t taint

But you taught me that everyone is tainted

That a love lost is a love gained and everyone who makes your heart flutter is fair game

I wish I believed in god and in heaven

So I could pray for you to show me a sign that your as happy as I am

Because that’s why you left isn’t it?

To grow wings and fly around and be happy

Somewhere high off the ground without me

If somehow you hear this know that she’s what you told me to look for

The person who in the darkest moments won’t leave

And when I’m crying, will cry with me

I miss you, but you no longer control my heart

You told me from the start I would have to love myself before anyone could love me

Well, you never lived to see that happen

Because you were so **** unhappy

She set me free

I’m still living in this pattern of forever and always

But now it’s

I’m forever with her, loved always by me
