So close

So close
You were so close
I was so far
But so close to being okay
And then you came back again

So right
You were so right
I was so wrong
But so right to try to hold on

So wrong
You were so wrong
I was so right
But so wrong to forgive you so quickly

But I did
And nothing can change that.

No matter how many
tears I cried
no matter how many times you
shut me down, told me no,
pushed me away,

I still stayed

I kept thinking
‘I’m so close
so close.
just hold on a little longer’
but who knew longer
would be that long

its amazing how slow
time moves
when you’re waiting
for something
you know you’ll never have again.

Its amazing how quickly
Your life can spin around
And suddenly go straight
Down.

Down low
So low

Slow
So slow
That you swear
You’re the only one
In the world breathing

Time freezes
When you realize
Nothing will be the same after this
Nothing will ever be right

Time flies
When you realize
Just how useless
Your tears really are.

So close
You were so close
I was so far
But so close to being okay
And then you came back again.
