Six Years

The last time that you saw me
It was all but six years ago
So you'll probably find it funny
That I'm still the girl you know

The last time that you saw me
I'll bet I was just as insane
My blood flowing along with the silver
But we pretended it was all a game

Avoiding all traces of reality
And yet it's the only place I stay
I wish my mind could slip to fantasy
And take this insanity away

They say I'm still that 16 year-old 
I'm inclined to think that's true
Physically, emotionally.. seriously,
it started even before I met you

I've been spending years reminiscing
About everything that's done
It's done, so why should it matter?
I shouldn't be stuck in this six-year stun

But here we are in the present
Both older and wiser, but just the same
Pondering how it could be this way
Always stuck in the same old game.

Hard to be stuck in that same place, Juli-Michelle. If it is not meant to be, you need to move on. I enjoyed this and I hope you find someone really great in your life!

Nice rhyme and flow to this Juli, and I really think that the more we change the more we actually remain the same. Nicely expressed.
