stuck in the past

You moved a step ahead and left me behind,
Now I do everything to keep you off my mind.
Looks like you’ve built this whole new setup,
I act like I’m fine, but I’m really fed up.
Of hearing your name wherever I go,
But deep down, I think we both know...
That we’re stuck in the past,
Our time together flew by too fast.
Oh, how I wish it could last,
But we’re gone forever,
Though I remember when we never said never.
So, I’ll just watch as you move on,
While I sit here sulking, wishing to respawn.
Go ahead, live your life with my “replacements,”
While I’m left with my hollow emplacement.
Trying to explain,
This endless, immoderate pain.
