I was driving
And without warning,
Or reasoning,
I just burnt into tears
______________________
I think that’s when I realized that I feel a lot more lonely than I let people think
I don’t know what “it” is, but I am missing it desperately.
______________________
There is a part of me that is desperate to know if my absence has made any difference to you
That there could be a possibility that you too, experience long restless nights thinking of me like I do you
That your heart hurts the same, and is broken in the same places as mine
I just want to know that I’m not the only one hurting
I just want to know that I actually meant something to you
______________________
I tried to change
I closed my mouth more
And I tried to be softer,
Prettier
Less volatile
But I wish I knew that you can’t make homes out of human beings
I wish I knew that
______________________
I constantly ask myself if it was ever real, but considering how badly it hurts,
I know that it was
______________________
If they want to leave, you have to let them leave
You are not someone everyone knows how to love
People may not tell you how they feel about you, but they always show you.
And so many people saw this coming, but all I ever wanted was for you to prove them wrong
But you couldn’t even do that for me.
And I wish I knew when it was time to move on,
But I don’t
No one does
It just isn’t your decision to make, you can’t just persuade a heart to abandon a feeling
If you feel like moving on is ever a choice
Then you already have.

Love isn’t enough to make someone stay, and it pained me to learn such a hurtful lesson
All I’ve ever wondered was why am I never enough to make anyone happy
But crying yourself to sleep every night even though you’re with the one you love, is absolutely no way to live
And although you may not be the father of my future kids
You’ll be the one I talk about when they go through their first heart ache
And I’ll warn them that sometimes
Sometimes
Cupid runs out of arrows and shoots only one person
Instead of two.
