He was kind,
Funny,
Cute.
He had done some things,
He'd messed up,
But nonetheless,
He was him.

She wasn't special
Or worth his time,
She'd messed up.

He said he loved her,
But it wasn't true.

And before they could even make a move,
She knew he lied.

So they left it there,
Untouched.

She remembered,
But she wished to forget.

He'd moved on,
After all, lies don't last.




One day maybe,
She'll forget.

One day maybe,
He'll remember.

I don't think they know..
How much it hurts to be me.
To haul the cross of others sins.
To be weighed down by the strain of others emotions.
I would rather drown just to keep them breathing.
Feeling like I am sacrificing my own self,
for the painlessness of others.
Never expecting recognition or gratitude,
Or anything else in return.
Maybe just some acknowledgement,
that I'm hurting too.
(maybe even more than you)
the first thing I've wrote about me.

Maybe all that is worth mentioning,
can't be mentioned.
Maybe all that comes around,
can't be seen.
Maybe all that we hear,
is inaudible.
Maybe all that is meant to be,
never was.
Maybe all that's left,
is what's felt.
Happiness has such a way
Of compromising
My art
For so long I have loved you and
This much I know is true
But now I find
For the first time
I fell IN-love with you

What if I didn't actually love you
What if I just needed you
closer
as a friend
What if I didn't actually love you
What if I just hated seeing
you hurt and forced
myself to love you
so I can have you closer
and you not get hurt
anymore

Maybe I asked too soon
or maybe too late
Maybe I should have asked you 4 years
ago
Maybe things would
be different...
maybe
