As I Walked Away
I looked up and there you stood
A sparkle in your eyes
A smirk on your lips
You were as beautiful as I remembered
I looked a mess
Hair in a bun, no make-up
A dumbfounded look on my face
I didn't quite know what to say
You asked how I've been
Said you'd been thinking of me
You missed us
You never asked if I was with some one
I said I've been fine
I wasn't even lying
I hadn't thought of you in years
Still didn't quite know what to say
You asked for my phone number
Said you'd "hit me up"
We should get dinner some time
or maybe I could cook for you
That's when it all came rushing back
The way you used to look at me
when you wanted something
How hard it was to say no
You smiled at me
You actually leaned in
What were you thinking?
That I would allow it probably
I did not allow it
I knew how it would end
Didn't need to relive that episode
I finally knew exactly what to say
"No thanks, I'm good"
"Nice seeing you though"
And just like that...
Your beauty faded
You said "Just thought I'd be nice"
"but what ever, your loss!"
You showed your true self
and it was ugly
I just stood there and smiled
You couldn't hurt me
Not this time
This time I walked away
A skip in my step
A smile on my lips
Dignity intact
As I walked away
