I'm staying

by gasping for air   Jul 18, 2005


Sitting here,
Drying tears that won't fall,
I wish that I could curl up,
And die.
It hurts so bad,
Hour after hour,
I've sat by the phone,
But he never called.
All I wanna do,
My wish of the moment,
Consists of never,
Hurting like this again....

Gradually,
My pain lessens,
My mind clears,
And I see my error.
I expect him to be perfect,
WHen he can't be,
I expect him to base his life around me,
And he can't.
It\'s not all his fault,
He hasn't done horribly wrong,
I'm the one,
Who needs to really fix things.

Pulling myself back together,
I tell myself,
No more pointing fingers,
No more wet eyes for stupid reasons.
From this moment on,
I'm going to "go with the flow,"
Not get stuck on stupid things,
And accept everything he does.
I'm going to fix my attitude,
Before it kills us,
Before it breaks our relationship,
Pasting being repairable.

He's my everything,
And no he's not perfect,
But yet,
He is.
Just because,
He's not without flaws,
Doesn't mean,
He needs to be changed.
It doesn't mean,
That I need to get rid of him,
Because he won't change,
The things that make me upset.

I'm going to stick with him,
For the rest of my life,
If he'll let me.
I'm staying,
Because what we have,
You don't find in a million years.
Because I love him,
Through everything,
No matter what everyone says.
Because i know,
That I wouldn't know,
What I had until I lost it.
I'm staying right here,
Until my heart stops beating,
Or he kicks me to the curb.
