Each day I wake to thoughts of you,
Not being by my side,
Realizing it's a time that's past,
I long just to hold on to you,
I whisper out your name.
I will prove your not my all,
I know your gone,
And I cannot cry a single tear,
This time I will prove I am strong.
When really you are,
The sun in my sky,
My hopes and my dreams,
My only reason to smile.
These words are breaking me down,
Because you say I am still gone.
One day maybe you'll see who I am,
And realize what you have lost.
Fighting off the tears in my eyes,
I know you won't come back,
Here's the words I learned to hate,
The words I just can't fight.
It's not you, I need some time,
Maybe someday we'll be again,
I care for you, the best girl I know.
So how can he just let me go?
What am I doing, to chase you away,
I know it has to be me,
Your not the first to tell me this line,
But I didn't expect it this time.
I dare to dream of times we had,
I wish I could go back,
We lost the fire but still I need,
The touch of only you.
It's all because of you and me,
That I'm down and feeling blue,
I cannot cry for I am strong,
Yet I cannot stop missing you.
I wish I could just let you go,
Let you go like you did me,
I'm lost without you,
I'm lost without you,
But you can never know.
I'm lost within this heartache,
And you will never know.
You will never see the tears I'll cry,
I won't let this pain show.
I [can't] need you [anymore.]
Breaking free of all this mess,
Is the next test for my soul,
I've tried and tried, to block you out,
But my heart still has control.
Each time I think just let him go,
Show him you don't need him,
As much as he needs you,
Each time I'm wrong, And each time I will cry,
I guess you've won again.
I was so happy and the days had light,
When you were by my side,
This is my weakness showing,
I can't bear to let this show.
I can't stand to let you go.
I just can't stand to let you go.
You were all I had.
Author notes
ergh... I hate that someone can do this to me
One minute I want to forget him the next I'm fighting back tears...
Oh the joys of being a teenager in love...
I HATE YOU.... not.
I think I have issues.

The last line is the hardest isn't it. All I had and now it's all gone. Not much left when that happens. This tears at the soul.

Oh no dear, you don't have issues.
Unless I have issues too. Because that's how I feel as well. All of it. I hope you'll feel better soon! Thanks for entering my contest. -
