You live in my mind
You never leave
If only to give, and never to receive
Why then must I constantly seek
Your face in every place
hoping for just a peak
How can one half move on so free
I wish that one half wasn’t you, I wish it were me
To be free from the bars you’ve prisoned me in
Nothing but the darkness of my thoughts to satisfy the sin
I envy how you can simply walk away, fine
If only I occupied your mind as much as you do mine
Is it our curse, will we always care more
Or is it just me, lost wondering what it is I’m looking for
Time will pass as it already has
And still I won’t heal as you certainly have
I pray, I wish for my own sanity
That as you occasionally catch a glimpse of me
You wonder the what if’s – what could have been
A flash of regret, some yearning again.
Wishful thinking, as always I will tell myself again
Just as I wish I could undo what I did.
