Car doors slam, lights flash. I always think it’s you. Tonight, more than ever, I hoped it would be. Maybe you’d have begged me. Maybe you would have made me believe you.
Why can’t you ever stay? I don’t mean always physically. Emotionally and mentally you fade each time.
I just can’t anymore. I don’t know how. You are too hard to hold onto even when I’ve never tried to hold you back.
All I needed was some certainty. All you ever come up with is doubt.
Your apprehension robbed you of true happiness and me too, I guess. What might’ve been I suppose will never be. The life we could’ve had will only exist as a vision or a sweet occasional dream. We are the ones they would’ve written love songs about. But, instead these two people truly meant to be together were kept apart by fear and that’s got to be the saddest thing I’ve ever known.
