I guess it is over before it really had a chance to begin.
Maybe that is for the best in the long run.
Maybe you leaving if a gift for me.
So I don’t have to hurt when you would leave me later on.
Cause you would leave me later on,
No one ever stays.
Maybe this feeling in the pit of my stomach will stop soon.
This water always sitting behind my eyes will dry up.
And thoughts of you that seem to dance through my mind,
All day and all night long will finally stop.
Maybe you are not thinking of me now at all.
Perhaps you have totally forgotten about me by now.
Maybe you get my letter, and feel nothing but pity for me.
I could possibly be just another silly girl,
That you put under a spell,
Making me feel like such a special gift to you.
One that you cared and never wanted to be without.

All of those times I would be staring out the window.
And I would look over to the driver side,
To see you looking away from me quickly.
Maybe you had been staring at me,
Thinking I am beautiful, thinking you were lucky.
Maybe you  did and maybe you didn’t.
Emotions change memories,
Times certainly does too.
Defense mechanisms protect damaged hearts and souls.
So you and I will remember us,
The way were drawn to each other like magnets.
The way our lips would find each other,
And calm the chaos of the world.
The way you helped me search my soul,
To show the world me again.
The way once we would be away from each other.
We would just want one another beside each other again.
Text messages, little calls, excuses to see each other.

Feeling content, driving with the windows down,
We were free.
We were sitting there smiling at one another.
You pulling me in close, kissing my forehead.
Scenes from your favourite love story,
Ours.
