He was there tonight,
and it hurt like a knife.
He was there with those
eyes I've looked into
so many times, with
those arms I've longed
to have embrace me,
those lips that I want
him to take it all back with...
and he simply said "hi" and
walked on by while I
tried to be brave
and not fall apart.
He was there, but
there was no way
to reach him.
I willed my feet
to remain planted,
my eyes to remain dry,
and my lips to
stay silent.
It would be
so painless to
fall back into
the shelter
of his arms,
so easy...
except
he doesn't
want me
anymore.
