I don't want to prolong the fight
If the end results aren't worth the extra mile.
And I don't want to stay with you
If you aren't spending your time with those most worthwhile.

I keep them all loosely wrapped around my finger
Until I need them
And that's when I tighten my grip
Like I'm strangling prey.

And even if we don't talk
You'll always be my favorite hello
And even if I don't realize it
You'll always be the person I miss the most.

Dear boyfriend,
Remember that one time you asked me
if I had ever been in love?
And all I said was yes?
Well that was only half the truth.
I was in love...
I still am in love.

You see,
I believe that people fall in love
But they don't fall out quite as simply.
No matter how much someone hurts you
If you love them,
You always will.

And maybe that sound ridiculous to you
But if it does, tell me
Why do you care so much
About what your she thinks of us
When you told me
You don't give a **** anymore?

Will
        I
          Ever
                  Recover?
Plenty of times I've asked myself.
Even after all these months have flown by,
You're still the way I abide by.

I know it's ridiculous, and strange as well,
And I know if you were going to come back
You already would have.
Still, that changes not a thing.

For summer is approaching
And I'm hoping it will bring
Another chance, a spark, the gleam in those eyes
That I loved so dearly as you laid on my side.
