Short-Lived, Long-Loved

Since you ended you and me
I tried to filter your memory
Cherish the good and forget the bad
And smile when I think about what we had

But everywhere I seem to go
The time it takes just seems to slow
I'm surrounded by the happy pairs
Free from all their problems and cares

For example, that couple outside the shop
I walk past trying not to stop
She laughs at something he's just said
And her cheeks, like mine did, flush bright red

He holds her hand the same way as you
And his eyes, like yours, are brilliant blue
He flicks a lock of hair from his eyes
Just like you did, before the lies

She kisses him silently on his cheek
Just like I did when you felt weak
I remember the feel of my lips on your hair
A lifetime ago since we were stood there

Then he bends his head to hers, lips meet
And she gives him a kiss so sweet
Just like we did in the pool of light
That shone from the shop into the night

Suddenly it all comes rushing back
Reminded of the boy I lack
Short-lived but long-loved time with you
No one can seem to pull me through

I walk faster and turn away
But with me you will always stay
Even though you hurt me still
Addicted to your forceful pill

You've moved on, forget me
And ill hide away your memory
Until the next time a couple are near
Flooding back reminisce, drowning me here
