I'm the same as anyone else, I smile,I laugh, I go to work.
People around me see a friend, happy and excitable
I'm the same as anyone else.
As the hours go by, my smile fades and my laughter becomes quiet
Dragging myself down for sleep I lie in bed as the aching dread begins to surface
I'm the same as anyone else
I feel the flooding shadows of what use to be
When you were lying next to me
Our bodies intertwined
Legs pretzeling together
Arms wrapped around each other like boa constrictors
Heaven could not have been closer
Or so I believed...
Did I hold you too tightly?
I wonder if I backed off would you have been relieved?
Did I say I love you too soon?
I only said it because I ment it
But you couldn't handle the pressure
Of our relationship so you
Twisted and contorted
Wriggling your way out of my arms and into another's who wont EVER be able to you hold properly
Does he know that you love the smell of lilac but Purple Orchids are your favorite?
Will he fully appreciate how beautiful your eyes are when you are just about to fall asleep?
Will he notice how your nose scrunches up when you really smile?
How your ears turn red when you get embarrassed?
Will he play connect the dots with your freckles?
Or count each one with a kiss?
I'm the same as anyone else.
I wish I was unique in this, I hate to know that others have experience this same thing
......
I'm the same as anyone else.
