i'll be okay, is that what you want me to say?

I dreamt about you last night, and it hurts

When I look back and ask myself,

Why I ever took your graciousness for granted

Placed it on the ground and stomped hard

Over and over and

I ruined you

I know I did, and now I live with

The reality of that

But I don’t know if that was me,

I think that was me...

And I lost her, when I lost you

I will never get you back in the grasp of my hands

I have memories, and they are all that suffice

I can say that I was happy,

I was so happy and I could see marriage

Being a possibility

Rather than something I ran from

But I realize I have always been flighty and flirty

And the disadvantage is all mine

Because you will find someone who

Gives you something,

All of her, all parts

While I will still be stuck here,

Trying to figure out ways

To gain something back that is long gone
