I'm still that girl you knew The one that skipped towards you Only three and a half short years ago Claps for all, you called me Tear-stained cheeks from a broken heart You swore to never do what he did and you said I could have had my space if I wanted it I just wanted to know you You made me feel like I was loved Like I was a treasure worth protecting Like a sun to hold in the palm of your hand So I said "okay" and let you love me I grew to love you too, more than I ever Ever thought was possible at the time We drove around, kissed at traffic lights Made new memories and adventured You made me wonder why I had allowed Allowed for myself to feel unloved Our love grew like a ****, wild and rampid We loved and loved and didn't fight Until one day when we started It had been a year or so without it But once it started, it didn't totally end No argument resolved, no problems closed But I pushed on, I loved you still I've loved you despite distance I've loved you despite age I've loved you despite every thing that should have pushed us apart We don't agree on anything large Not morals, religion, or priorities We are falling into pieces, my heart aches I'm bleeding and crying out for you to hear But silence is all I have from your end And we are still holding together by a string You never told me that you were finished And I'm too disheartened to say after three years That even though I crave you like you're ****** That you're a large part of me That you are the closest person to me That I want to be by your side, to hear your deep voice, feel your heartbeat, smell your sweet musky cologne on my shirt after a long day, I don't know how long I can do this To place a band aid over our hurt Only to rip it off come morning time
