don't care who sees this. Don't care what comments I get...
You know what?
Tonight is one of those nights
that I would have called you
just to hear your voice.
I would have waited by the door
for hours
just to feel your arms around me
and hear you tell me that
everything is going to be alright.
I would have just sat there waiting,
only to feel you swing me in your arms
when you arrived.
I'd go anywhere, just to sit beside
you in the car, with your hand on my knee,
Closing my eyes, I'd hear you recite
the lyrics from any song that meant something...
just to give me a sense of meaning,
Tonight is one of those nights
where I would have called you
to come and be my shield,
because nothing really felt safe.
Tonight is one of those nights
that I would have pulled the covers over
my head and not removed them to see
a glimpse of light until I felt your hand on my
back and heard your voice telling me
to roll over and make room so that you could be beside me.
I wouldn't open my eyes until I heard you tell me that
everything would be alright.
You know what though?
Tonight, it's been over four years
since you've left without saying much.
As much as I miss you, I've got to take a little
strength from the fact that I am on my own.
There is no relationship.
No one that I have to rely on in that way.
I doubt you will ever see this,
but I just need you to know
that I'll be alright.
I am now my own protector,
and although the scars
probably won't ever heal all the way,
the nights that stay in the back of my mind
are some of the ones that have made me the woman
I am today.
I wouldn't trade those nights for anything,
and while I sometimes fantasize about living those
nights again with someone else,
I know that love is a once in a lifetime kind
of feeling.
I've had it and lost it,
and you know what...
it made me who I am.
