I sit here quietly
Ferociously wandering
How am I suppose to be
Perfectly imperfect
Wondering if they care about me
Still it’s been years
And I don’t know how I got here
I sit with my thoughts
Not knowing how they live now
Without me
It was a kind of love
I never speak of
But often I see them in my head
What’s that suppose to mean
Do I mean as much to them as they to me
Was it something that drifted only to be
Or was it something that only has pain
I tend to see both
Maybe it’s both
I can feel the pain of your absence
I can see the lesson in disguise
Do you see me too
Do you understand now too
Do you still think of me
Maybe we can drift together again to be
Be the love we once were in tragic form
Or maybe I’m delusional for thinking
I can see you still
I wonder about the life we use to have
And if I could’ve done it differently
It’s a lesson I’ll forever remember
A lesson on how to be patient and kind
Consistently, I try to be
You were my whole heart
I don’t think I ever lived so happily
It’s hard to move on now
It’s been too long
I still sit with the grief
Hoping one day you’ll come to me wanderingly
Not to be with me but to smile at me
Cause to me it was all meant to be
I loved what we had
I use to hate it after it ended
Now I see it differently
You were made me feel so seen
Something I’ve always wanted to be
I don’t know now where I’m suppose to go
But here I am trying
There isn’t a time that I don’t think about you quietly
You settle in my heart like a forever love
But unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be that long
I wish it was longer
I wish I held on a little tighter
I know who I can be now
I know I have to love who I am now
You taught me that lesson unselfishly
You taught me that love is infinitely timeless
You can love multiple people again and again
In different ways it’s possible
It’s possible for me to love
I know I can now
But, sometimes I found myself fearing the pain it can have
Pain of losing what you tried so hard not to lose
Where do I go now
You were where I wanted to go
Everywhere you went I wanted to follow
Even when I didn’t want to I found myself coming back
Sometimes I feel really devastated looking in rooms with you not in them
I just want to see your face one more time
To express my gratitude
I never got to
We ended things so recklessly
That not what love is suppose to be
So here’s me wishing for your presence one more time
Just one more time to say that you meant everything to me
One more to me say I wouldn’t have changed anything
It was the best time of my life despite the fights
I held on as tight as I could
So tight I lost sight of it all
But it’s ok now, I’m better than I use to be
The memories still capture me
I just have one more thing to say
Every love you was always true
And I hope you know that I thank you for everything
in my heart that love existed on purpose
