When I see you…
I hope one day you will see me and I’ll be ok.
I hope in the future you will see me and I’ve done all the things I said I would.
I hope that when we meet again I am not so lonely.
I hope that when I catch your eye I can smile, holding my head up high.
Until that time comes I will soldier on,
Pining all the while for what we had.
I will settle for second best, what else is there?
What can I do?
The only person that was meant for me was you.
I continue on this pointless journey without you,
Wishing it would come to an end.
I’m too proud to tell you what is going on in my head,
I survive, only just. I exist for now.
Maybe in the next life, things will be different.
Perhaps I’ll be a better me.
If only I could take back those things I said,
If only you were here for me to hold.
There’s no use. You’re gone.
I will erase you from my heart.
But if I do see you in the future,
I hope you will see a smiling face that shields the pain inside.
For now, there’s no shield, only shame,
Big brown eyes that cry forever.
