in a way, i still hurt.
its been only two years.
yet i still long for him,
his touch, the voice that calms me,
his smile that made my day.

yet no matter how much i put myself
through, i couldnt help but make sure
he was happy. even if it hurt. but did
he want that for me?

oh how it hurts, to know we could've been
something. it hurts knowing what i wanted
the most was what was killing me too.

cant he just leave me alone? i have tried
turning away, by i always come back.
even if im left with despair.

i remember how we'd laugh and cheered
in the crowds, taking me by surprise when
i wasnt looking. these memories, was what
he said he'd never forget before letting go.
it hurts letting him go, yet it helps too.

just thinking about him kills me.
i can never go back to that class we had together.
i cant play music without
thinking about him cheering me on.
so he's gone, and i cant go on. i can hear him,
sounding fine. but did i make it that easy? to go in
and out of my life?

so i am left here. at the door.
looking back at him, who somehow
just cant see me. and as i begin out,
im trying not to think about him.
so cant i just be? i can no longer look back,
its just forward, leaving the hurt.
its what almost lovers always do.

its what i remember before
i start calling that new number and
hearing another guy on the line.

inspired by "almost lover" by a Fine Frenzy/ Alison Sudol
all copyrights belong to her :D

here are the lyrics:

"Almost Lover"

Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images

You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images

And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you'd never ever forget these images, no

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy
To walk right in and out of my life?

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

The past is the past,
The truth is the truth,
But Love is a Passion.
