Expectations fall short
As I thought they never would
I didn't expect to lose you like I did
I didn't think you would just walk away from me like you did
Little did I know how wrong I was

Don't you see that I still care?!
Don't you see that I don't want this to fall to shambles yet I’m watching you leave
Like you don't care.
Like you want us to fail
It’s a bittersweet realization to say the least.
You were one person I thought would be there til the end
One person I could always call my best friend

Stuff got messed up
Stuff blew up
It wasn't supposed to happen this way but this is our new reality
It’s a reality where I see you every day and wonder if you think of me
Do you wonder how I am or do you not care?
Do you ask how I’ve been or do you go on your way like we never met?

I thought we would make it
But this doesn't deplete the memories I have
It just makes it that much more nostalgic of what we won’t have
I thought I had so much more time
So many more memories to create
I didn't know that they would be taken from me in a heartbeat
From one incident that changed everything
That thought brings tears to my eyes—
It makes me despise
All the passed time—
I lost it like a crime

No words can describe
What I would do to fix this
Stupid pride gets in the way
And it plays us just like any other day
Suddenly I’m at a loss for words
Because I don’t know what to do!
All I can say is, I lost you, but you lost me too

You didn’t try either and that hurts the most
You didn’t fight for me, you just let me go
I’m not sure if this will ever be right
And after this I’ll act like I don’t care
But know this—
If you ever need me, I will ALWAYS be there.
It's been a while since I've written something, but today I had to get this out so here it is. It might not make a lot of sense. I might be all over the place; that's how it should be. It's how my mind is today and that's what mindset you kind of need to read this. Feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

PS... The title is still a work in progress. If you have any suggestions, please send them my way.
