The thing is
No matter how desperately I want to be the one to change your mind

It doesn't change the fact
That you know you could have me
And you do nothing at all
I miss you, a lot.
All of the time actually.

Your goofy smile.
The way your cheeks turned red when I caught you singing.
Hearing you call me intelligent before anything else.
How your big, strong body didn't scare me,
I only ever felt safe around you.

I never realized how much I liked you until you left.  
It hits me every time I want to tell I miss you but I don't know if your girlfriend would see.
It's very rare I find myself liking someone,
So I don't have a lot of practice turning off these kind of feelings you left me with.

It's been awhile since we talked and I wonder if this friendship meant anything to you
I know things between us got complicated
And it's probably for the better that we keep our distance

But if you're ever wondering
I miss you, a lot.
And I won't call you,
But if you ever miss me,
I won't hesitate to pick up.
Hold me a little tighter
Love me a little longer
Maybe then this sinking feeling in my chest
Won't drown the possibility that you still love me

Kiss me a little sweeter
Want me a little more
Maybe then I could stay afloat
In this sea of doubt
Maybe if I close my eyes long enough
I'll wake up and be someone else

Maybe if I sleep forever
My past mistakes will be history and I'll get to be who I really want to be
You were my
"All or nothing"
Love

I gave you my all
And you left me with nothing
I couldn't find a man
Man enough to love me
So instead I became
The man I wanted to marry
I wish it made sense for me
To call you in a moment of insane courage
And drive in the middle of the night
To tell you how I feel
How angry it made me
That all I was to you was a secret
One you wanted to taste so bad you were willing to take it to your grave
You had no right to tell me those things
You should've been better to me
---
But no amount of yelling
Will ever make you mine
No amount of closure
Will replace never getting to know what it's like to be with you
No matter how ****** I am
If you asked me now
I would let you ******* lips
All those things you said you wanted to do
I would do it all
To be able to give something to you
---
For one chance to know your love
I would give anything
Even if it meant
Looking at your finger
And ignoring the ring
