I thought my heart would explode if I saw You
But then I did, and I didn't even miss You
We caught a glance, and I barely recognized You and
For a moment, our romance was never true

You gave the look that You give to every passerby
I stood frozen feeling fear that I'd start asking why
We didn't last, didn't work, didn't work out
Instead that glimpse replenished me with promise, no doubt

In my mind and in my heart and in the now I know this
We're so much different when together and We didn't notice
We'd slowly surely grow apart from what We thought We wanted
We need no one to justify ourselves but always counted

On each other to provide the pieces that were missing
But truth be told, We were whole, and only reminiscing
On love that's passed, We moved too fast and ended in disaster
You poked and prodded, burned and bothered, You became my master

You kept me going but were slowing down my sense of safety
The wounds kept healing but the scars remain to tell the story
Of a boy and girl who fell in love and planned to marry
Through thick and thin they'd be together until they were buried

But sure enough You did your worst and I just couldn't take it
I packed my bags and left and moved ahead without a ticket
Didn't know where I was going but it didn't matter
Hoping that I had escaped before my heart had shattered

When things get bad and sometimes  worse I tend to think of You
Your mental image branded on me (and within me) but it isn't true
That calling You and running back will help, I doubt You've changed
I can't forgive You, though I want to, so it's here I'll stay

It's been so long, I'm moving on and since I've found another
It isn't perfect, doesn't need to be we have each other
We aren't like we were and we both agree that we'll have battles
But in the end we will be fine when all the dust has settled :)
