You made me think, made me believe,
We’d be together for the rest of our days.

You met her, you loved her, she broke your heart.
Now that you’re back with her, it’s tearing me apart.

I gave you my heart, my everything, and all.
You made me feel important when I felt so small.

You put me through hell, yet I stayed true.
It doesn’t even seem to matter to you.

Through thick and thin, you know I loved you.
You once held my heart, but broke it in two.

You don’t see that she’s messing around.
When she hurts you again, you’ll look like the clown

Because I tried to tell you, I tried to say
That she never loved you in the same way.

You didn’t believe me when I tried to make you see
That between me and her, you should have chosen me.

But I guess that doesn’t matter. I guess you don’t care.
You lied to my face when you said you’d always be there.
As I walk through the halls,
My eyes start to tear.
This school year is so different
Without my lion here.

People and places
Remind me of you.
The way we bonded;
Our love was true.

I walk past your old locker
Where we shared our first kiss.
Where we held one another,
Making memories I’d later miss.

Now you’re gone.
Graduated. Goodbye.
And I’m here to roam the halls
Without you by my side.

But I have to keep going
Back to the place that brings tears.
I’m counting the days and months
Until I’m with my lion for my remaining years.
You’re on my mind every and all night.
I love you with all my strength, all my might.
When I see you, everything else fades from sight.
You took my heavy heart and made it light.

Tell me now, how it can be
Someone like you fall in love with me.
You lit up my dark world, now I can see.
You’ve captured my heart, yet you’ve set it free.
Her name fuels the flickering flame in my chest, causing a raging inferno.

Just her name sends an electrifying bolt of jealousy through my stomach.

He looks at her through the same eyes and he looks at me and I wish otherwise.

Him walking with her releases a selfish growl that begins deep in my soul.
I’m sorry for any pain
I know I have caused you.
I’m sorry for being the one
Who has torn you into two.

I’m sorry for the confusion,
I know it hurts you so.
I’m sorry for being selfish,
For not wanting to let go.

I’m sorry for anything
That has caused you sorrow.
I’m telling you this now
Because you we’re not promised tomorrow.

I’m not sorry, however,
For meeting you, it’s true.
And most of all I’m not sorry
For falling in love with you.
The seconds of my life
Have ticked slowly by.
Many of which have passed
As I sit here and cry.

I don’t cry over death,
A lost loved one, friend or pet.
I don’t cry over mistakes,
A past error or regret.

I cry not because of bullies
Torturing me at school
Or because I got in trouble
For breaking some dumb rule.

I cry instead, not for me
But for one I hold so dear
And when he says those scary things
I silently cry in fear.

I cry when he mentions
The number of times he’s tried
To hurt himself beyond belief
Or times he’s almost died.

It hurts to think about
A world without him here.
And it’s this painful thought
That explains this silent tear.

So as the seconds tick
Ever so slowly by,
The thought of his seconds ending
Is the true reason that I cry.
My heart skips,
My stomach flips,
And breathing changes pace
every time we embrace.

Your hand in mine,
Fingers intertwined.
Our hearts beat as one.
You’re my life. My sun.

Hold me close,
I need my dose
From your hug
For you’re my drug.

In your arms,
Safe from harm.
I can’t ask for more
For I’m forever yours.
