I remember the times…
When it didn’t hurt to smile,
When it wasn’t hard to laugh,
And I mean really laugh
Now it seems today
My smiles are pinned at the creases, as I fight to hold them on my face
And my laughter is always tinged with regret, sadness, hurt, over past memories and opportunities gone bye.
I remember the time that I almost had you,
The times when you were ever so slightly out of my reach
But something always distracted me and I pulled back my arm
If we hadn’t missed those times
Then maybe today would be different
I do still think about you
But you’re just a piece of my past
One that keeps popping up in my present
Bringing back all the times I cried for hours
On my bathroom floor
Wishing, hoping, waiting
I cant blame everything on you
I know I shouldn’t
But the truth is it is the fault is all mine
And I don’t want to take the blame
Since there was you
I haven’t been able to give my heart away the same
I don’t want to hear it again
Though those words continually pop up in my life
“I don’t like you as more than a friend <i>anymore</i>…”
