You told me I was as subtle as a gun
But it was you who kept pulling the trigger
And you left holes in my chest
I can't touch my heart with running into bullet fragments you left behind
"Thank you."*

I whispered to the universe,
As you pulled me into your chest tighter while you were fast asleep.
There is no forgetting you
But there is letting you go
There is a small scar
To the right of your bottom lip
A faint white line
Begging to be kissed
I go to the place I took you on our first date
I walk up the steps and hold the door open for myself
I sit down at a table for two but the other seat is never filled
I order the dessert we always shared and leave half untouched
I pay for myself
I walked past the park we laid in the night I realized I loved you
I get in the car and drive home in silence
I crawl into bed and fall asleep,
Alone

You were mine once
That is all I need to know
I think she fits you better than I did.
You needed a girl who was small enough to fit into the side of your chest and sensible enough to match your comfortable life.

You might say I was too much. But all I know is you were not enough.
It's a really sad thought
To see you as you are now
And know that if we were two strangers meeting
We wouldn't like each other very much

But I suppose you are a stranger now
And all the love once here is gone
