The Maybes
Why is it so hard
To fall asleep?
Maybe because i have
You on my mind.
Maybe i miss your arms
Around me like you’re
Protecting me from
My nightmares or my fears.
But you failed from
Protecting me from
Getting heart broken.
Again i ask
Why is it so hard
To fall asleep?
Maybe because i stay up
Wondering if you miss me
Or think of me.
My mind goes to
Another question.
Do you regret the
Things we did together?
When we talk
I ache to have you back.
When you are brought up
In a casual conversation
With my friends
I hear the way
They talk about you
It’s as if you’re nothing
But you’re something to me.
But i guess i should be
Moving on to someone else
But it’s so hard.
But i will thank you
For one thing.
And that is thank you
For keeping me from
Falling apart completely
In the past.
