Lost

it’s been one month 
since the time has past 
if i knew that time i held you
would’ve been my last 
i would’ve dug my claws in 
to never let you go 
my days are cold 
and my nights are alone
I wish you never left that night.
and I wish you would’ve stayed 
and that  we finished that fight 
and we could’ve behaved 
because now we’re  individuals 
own groups, own circles 
and yet i can’t go to sleep
because  i’m still up hurting 
it doesn’t mean it was a mistake 
or that it’s not worth it 
but i look back on memories 
and I view them as perfect 
and in reality that not what it was.
I wish that  i treated you better
i feel so much regret 
for not opening up 
and getting it off my chest.
you once said 
‘you just don’t get it, i don’t know how else to explain it to you’ 
I understood what you said 
and if i am being so true 
my honest word is 
i couldn’t express myself to you 
i tried as hard as i could 
yet 
my efforts 
we’re no good.

after our breakup 
i was worried for your health 
i wanted to reach out 
and to  try to help 
but i know you’re working on yourself.
it’s hard for me to move on 
it’s a process full of pain 
but i know it’s the right thing to do
not in my heart, but in my brain.
i hope you’re doing okay 
i mean, as well as you can 
i hope one day you can go off 
and find the right man 
who gives you what you deserve 
because even though you can’t right now 
i can see your self worth.
i hope he can be like me 
and make you the centre of his world 
and even though not mine 
to me, you’re still more 
way more 
than just a girl.
