Calling to check in

by aisyned   May 20, 2012


In my dreams, your face is remembered clear as day,
I recall waking up several times, trying to push your memories away.
I'm happy, but a little spot in my heart for you aches and cries,
How do you explain to an organ, that the love you felt for me had died?
Perhaps I could have shown it more, perhaps I could have given more to you,
but I was just a child then, what could you expect me to do?
I gave up what to me was enough, though in your eyes it was merely a speck to what you'd given me,
if only you could have understood, if only I could have made you see.
I'm not trying to bring you down, i'm happy that you're happy now.
I'm only dropping in to say hello, flash a smile and put on a good show.
His arms wrap around me, but all I feel are yours.
Even though i'm stuck on you, I know there are a number of other doors.
Does she make you feel like I did, when our lips first collided?
Or was the love I felt inside, completely one sided?
I'm letting you know I miss you, and I hope it doesn't stir up hate,
I'm not trying to ruin your life again, God no, i'm just trying to lift this heavy weight.
Call me if you need me, but I know you never will.
I'll drive down to see you if you need it, I know - I know but still.
Don't forget me too soon, I know I won't forget you at all,
Well i've got to go now, it's late, he's waiting for my call.
If only he was you, if only she was I.
I know - I had my chance, so did you, but the dreams will never die.
It's one of those moments your memory comes flooding in,
I just called to check up, take care, you win.
