Over

Tomorrow I will see you It will be the first time Since I left I envision you walking in the house My heart stopping Everyone else in the room disappearing You speaking And the only thing I am able to do is stare The memories start playing Blurring my vision I feel myself getting caught up in the way things use to be Conveniently forgetting the ways things have to be I see you reaching out for me I see me leaning into the familiar Embracing you with the hope I never have to leave your arms again Never leave your side But then my mind plays back to the night You said the words that broke my heart Played to the morning I found the evidence That destroyed my faith in you The morning that I forced my feet to move My eyes not to look back And I freeze I remove myself from your arms The ones that not so long ago felt so safe I look in your eyes The eyes that show little regret I remember how you tossed me aside so carelessly Time and time again I remember how tired I was of you making love to me and disappearing suddenly I remember you pacifying me With promises you never meant to keep Recall the fact you let me go without a fight Without any indication that you ever really cared at all The images leave Reality returns And I smile Because everything is exactly the way it is supposed to be Over
