Only mouths ago

Only mouths ago
it was hard to be friends
and forget the touch
you so faithfully lent
seeing into your eyes
the passion that burnt for me
knowing it wasn't real

only mouths ago
she fell into your life
as your heart opened to hers
it started to close on mine
just then as I was ready
for it to be you and I

Only mouths ago
you crushed my heart
and never even saw
the rubble left beneath
as you walked on to your new life
I restarted mine

Just a mouth ago
like time
ebbs and flows
my heart is still open
as your love is beginning to close
your eyes cant see it
but to me its like
day falling to the sandy beach
I didn't want to be the cause
or hurt you
like you hurt me

And now
your still lost in her perpetual motion
finding the feet that fell under you
when you first met
you may start to realize
that I have always been there underneath
that dreaming of me
was worth your while
but while your with her
you and I can never be
more than just friends
