Maybe I misspoke when I told you to leave.
When I told you to get out,
I also meant to get out of my thoughts.
I don't appreciate you hanging around there all the time.
Maybe I should put up a "No Loitering" sign in my brain,
But you never listened to me, anyway, so I don't think it would work.
I told you I was tired of the games,
But you're still playing hide and seek.
Cause everyday I see you in the crowd,
And every time I lose sight of you,
You vanish
I told you to leave me alone,
But every night
You whisper in my ear for hours,
Causing me to lose sleep
And to dream of the memories we shared.
The good and the bad
And boy,
Were they ugly
It's so bittersweet,
Because to me,
It feels like you never left.
I didn't really want you to leave, anyway.

Just something I thought up. I don't know. Maybe you can relate to it.
Thank you for reading.
Take care.
