At night, when all the world's asleep
Is when I miss you most . . .
I miss the way you'd hold me tight
The way you'd stroke my hair
The little things like holding hands,
Just knowing you were there
I'd cuddle up and go to sleep
I felt so loved, secure
I always knew you'd keep me safe
My love for you was pure
I trusted you in every way,
I never felt afraid
I knew you'd keep me safe from harm
I loved the home we'd made.
But over time we grew apart,
You spent more time away
I never knew quite what went wrong
But distance grew each day
Then in the end you walked away,
I begged with you, I cried
But all you said is you were "done"
Your love was just a lie
You left and never once looked back
At least not right away
And by the time you changed your mind
We'd nothing left to say
With distance I gained clarity
I didn't want you back
I focus on the things I have
Instead of what I lack
I know I'm not the perfect girl,
I've never claimed to be
But somewhere out there, in the world
Is the perfect man for me
Who knows I'm not the perfect size
But loves me anyway!
He doesn't go off how I look
But how I act each day
And while I know that I'll move on
I grieve your loss each day
I think of what we had and shared
Together, In our way
