i miss you
when i swore i wouldn't,
not anymore

waiting..
hoping for another glance
trying to turn away,
while resisting the urge
to look back.

i know i couldn't
you told me i shouldn't
ask you to not go
you can never stay

you can never give me
enough rain
enough smile
enough time
to believe what i feel

and i could never
give you enough
sunshine
enough space
enough time
to trust what you feel

so where do we go from here?

i could lie
and tell you
i've moved on
but i cannot pretend
that i wont flinch
at every gesture,
every move,
every smile
that you are
slowly giving
to everyone but me.

would you wince
should you see me
start to regard you
as just a part of my history
if i begin to open
another chapter of my story
with the lead different
this time
would you falter?

can i, please, not answer
can i, just like before
glide, move
and let you be?
