I Remember the Times...

I remember the times… 
I came early only to stand at a distance and watch 
You waiting for me, fidgeting with your hair 
Frowning because I was late. 

I remember the times… 
I thought about all the stories to tell 
When you were around, whiling time 
To see that you-good-for-nothing smile. 

I remember the times… 
I danced all alone, holding your hand 
Practicing every step with care 
Wanting it to be perfect the first time. 

I remember the times… 
We fought like the kids on the road 
Teased each other with everything we know 
Cursing and swearing as we went back home. 

I remember the times… 
You told me you could never love that guy 
A false sense of satisfaction washing my heart 
As you held my hand and did cry. 

I remember the times… 
He walked into your life, and asked for you 
You looked into my eyes, sought my advice 
And then walked out of mine. 

I remember the times… 
You came clean with all your lies 
You lowered your eyes. 
You kissed me and said the worst of all goodbyes.
