The pain of hearing your voice, doesn't defeat the agony of not.
The "I love you" I long to be spoken--- only a memory.
A memory of flutters in my stomach and skipped thumps in my heart.
A memory we both shared, a vow to never part.
I lay here now thinking of what was---what is---and what will be.
I lay here and wonder if you too are thinking of me.
Remember when it hurt to hang up the phone?
Remember the thought of never being alone?
Remember never wanting to let go?
Remember the feelings you were afraid to show?
Thinking it would only push me away?
Now you're the one who will not stay.
I was so afraid to give you all of me.
Afraid of what would happen, afraid you would leave.
Fear couildn't hinder what it was I felt inside.
My love for you I could no longer hide.
Voulnerability opened me up to you.
I believed all you said, I believed all you'd do.
Every word spoken. everything you said
are now just words repeating inside of my head.
Will things ever go back to the way they used to be?
Will you ever come back to me?
You promised to make me happy, if I gave you my heart.
You promised we would never part.
You promised to never let me go,
love for me, you promised to always show.
You promised to love me forever, you promised to never leave
You promised it was always going to be you and me.
But those promises were just words that were spoken...
