Altogether it's quite pathetic
Restoring esteem isn't all it seems
Altogether I know it's for the better
and everyone says I should kill the dream
But I never do what I'm told to do
and here's the pathetic truth
He is everything you're not
he's attentive and he's sweet
He can have his own life
and still always think of me
He's got plans and ambitions
he's a real man on a mission
He is honest and he's fair
not dysfunctional or scared
He wants everything or nothing
and he knows that he is lucky
My emotions aren't burdens
he knows he wants me for certain
Knows he doesn't need to tough talk
because he really likes to walk
Only says what he means
he doesn't walz over my dreams
He would not manipulate me
when I'm foolish stimulate me
He is everything you're not
he follows everything through
But when it all boils down to it
he's just not you
So what am I supposed to do?
When it's really all or nothing
Everything is void and fake
and you're still here haunting me
But when I turn to you
it feels like one big mistake
Please tell me what you think

Incredible.
This write expresses a truth that most wouldn't dare to speak.
It's always hardest to leave the thing that hurts us most behind,
like an addiction of sorts.
If that's what you were trying to say, you definitely hit the nail on the head.
Brilliant.
"He would not manipulate me

That was my favorite. -

Thank you
Thanks so much! Yes, that's definitely the emotion I was aiming for - what you said is so true "it's always hardest to leave the thing that hurts us most behind", it IS like an addiction. I know he and I are better off apart, and I know we weren't together long enough for me to have a right to be heartbroken... but the ugly truth is I was in love, terribly in love. And a part of me will always remember that feeling of belonging with him. People get annoyed and say I should "get over it already" and it's unfair. I have moved on; I love my life as it is. But no matter who I date, I don't feel for them what I felt for him. They're just not what he was to me. It's just true. It's no pretty or admirable, but it's true.
