Life after You

by Anne Garcia   Jun 14, 2008


I always had something to look to everytime I woke
Couldn't function correctly, until we spoke
We would talk, day and night
And all along, I always felt that it was right

But everything couldn't always be this way
We knew that there was going to be that day
That day where our worlds will go apart
And separate this one true heart

I tried to keep you clear out of my mind
But if you were to look inside, thoughts of you were all you could find.
It was too much, even I know
But, for me, I just found it too hard to let you go

It's been weeks since you were gone
I was slowly, slowly trying to move on
Until this one, lonely night
The night where you squeezed my heart tight

That night I felt as if I couldn't breathe
Nothing has ever felt so wrong to me
I didn't know what to do
I didn't even cry no matter how much I wanted to

I sat there, so dumbfounded
Couldn't think, couldn't understand a word anyone said
I just sat there, and sat there
Then I whispered, "That wasn't fair."

I wasted my tears on you
I wasted all my time too
I should never have let you in again
Because you weren't a lover nor were you a friend

It took me weeks, almost months to get over it
You really made me feel dumb, more like stupid
Slowly and very slowly, I realized nothing will change
Until, I got up and made that change

My life now is so much better
Without having to worry about someone who was never there
I'm doing my best and concentrating on school
I also got a job, which is so cool

He no longer makes me cry
I just think of him as another guy
I thought he was a prince in a fairytale book
But he turned out to be a back stabbing, heart stealing crook.

Ever since then, I concealed my heart
To never ever let it fall apart
I bandaged and taped
Never to again let it break

But what exactly did I do?
I didn't get over it, this is just LIFE after you.
