You Can Always Find Yourself Again
The clock hits 3am
She sits quietly in the still of her own room
With her headphones in quietly she listens
In the dead of the night she sings along
Until that one song begins to play…yea you know the one
That song that hits so close to home
She finds herself looking thru old albums
The ones that show when she was his everything
When she meant so much more to him than just another friend
Just another girl he used to know
One he once loved more than life itself
Now from time to time he’ll call to check in
And every now and then in a moment of weakness
She’ll say something to remind him of the way things used to be
They go back and forth sharing favorite memories
And laugh about all the good times they once shared
But does he know that for her it doesn’t stop there
Those days may be long gone for him, just a great memory…
But those are the memories she’s still holding onto
Still she keeps them very close and very dear to her heart
And though she will always love him
She has had to learn to live without him
Slowly she tries to move on with her life
But every time she finds herself getting close to someone new
His every memory comes rushing back
And she knows that no one will ever compare
They’ve both dated other people, both said their own “I love you”
All the while the best of friends they remain
They both agree they’ll never find another love like theirs
There’s nothing in this whole world she wouldn’t give to have that back again
Never truly understanding why he continues to hold back
She knows she can’t spend forever waiting
On someone who may never really and truly be sure of what he wants
Forever her favorite memory he will be
But she’s held on for so long
She now knows it's time to move on and let him go
Because she can’t do it all on her own
In her heart he’ll always be her best friend
But together again is something they may never be
And she’s learned to be okay with that
Because if there’s one thing life has ever taught her
It's that people will come and go
You will teach and you will learn
But never try to force someone to stay
Because in time as one leaves
Someone else will come in
And maybe one day they will look back and realize
They walked out on that one person that would’ve never done the same
And when they do by then it will be too late
By then someone will have come along and see everything they never could
So when you think you’ve lost it all
Get back up and try again
Don’t give up on love….
Cuz it won't ever give up on you!!!!!!!!
