Ghosts

He said goodbye
& knew he'd miss her most
he needs her, he really needs her
but her memory is fading like a ghost
he is scared
& wants it like it was
he needs her kisses
he really, really does
he never wanted
them to get so close
because he knew
he'd eventually need her most
he tried so hard
to act like it was okay
but every time he needed her
she was fading away
hes always wondering
how shes doing each day
shes actually faking
so that maybe the pain will go away
shes so lost
because they were close
she needed some things
but needed him the most
their old pictures
are crumbling away with time
even the sound of the waves
make her fine
she misses her life
the one with him
he misses his life
the one thats worn thin
he needs her more
than shell ever know
she needs him now
& how she wants it to be so
she fakes her smile
that holds such beauty
he whispers to himself
she's all ill ever need
she gets ready && jumps in
in her black Cadillac
promising & swearing
she'll never come back
he just walks
oh so slow
she has no idea
that hes about to let go
shes driving fast
right off that cliff
knowing and wanting
to forget
hes walking toward
the very same place
to finish himself
oh what a disgrace
two young teenagers
died that night
b/c the one they needed
wasn't in their life
every now and then
a couple that gets close
could swear and say
that they're seeing ghosts
