I thought I was over you
I thought I could be near you
Without wanting to be near you.

But then I realized:
It’s been so long
That I had forgotten who you really were.

When you’re around
My heart beats faster
And I wish that you would see me for me
And not the crazy girl that you met all those years ago.

When you’re around
Everything slows down
And I wish that you could see me for me
Not the broken hearted girl that you helped to find her way again.

When you’re around
All I do is wish.
And yet, I’ve lost that courage that I had
To tell you the same truth that tore us apart
Once when you told me, and once when I told you.

I thought that all those feelings were gone.
I thought that I could finally move on.
But it’s been so long,
I guess I’ve forgotten
Who you really are to me.

Please don’t leave,
Please don’t pretend,
Please stay by my side,
And be the friend that you used to be
And then I can finally be happy
Even if you don’t love me.
