You told me your name, and I forgot how to respond.

I was far too busy watching the way your lips moved when you spoke.

You smiled at me, and I forgot how to breathe.

You were like gold in the bottom of a ***** creek, glittering among the rocks.

You held my hand, and my heart forgot to beat.

I was in a dream, caught up in the magic of you and me.

You spoke to me, and I forgot how to live.

You made me feel like you commanded the stars.

You showed me a new life, and I forgot how to be myself.

I was stuck living only to please you.

You took my everything, and I forgot how to love.

I was broken, and you stuck your fingers between the cracks and pulled.

And I opened my eyes to take a real look at you.

Those perfect lips held lies and broken promises.

The gold turned out to be a shiny piece of metal, trying to make itself stand out.

The magic was nothing more than a trick on my eyes, and you did your very best to conceal it.

You didn't command the stars, because they were too far away to hear you.

I started living for myself and god, did you hate that.

You hated that I could always put myself back together and stand up to you.

But what killed you the most, was when I broke my dependence on you.

Because then I was finally able to stand up and walk away.
