It was on a Wednesday night
I talked to you earlier that day
Getting involved in a relationship
We both knew what was to come
We knew that you were moving
Yet we decided to pursue it all
Even though it seemed wrong
We decided to just get together
We were ready for the challenge
We were going to move forward
As one from miles from the other

It was a hot fall morning
A silent time on the bus
On a trip with the band
And me just sitting alone
You were just watching me
I was bored out of my mind
And then you talked to me
We got to know each other
We found many similarities
And by the end of the day
I had made a new friend

I feel that you are the one
I need you to be by my side
I though searching was done
And we could run and hide
I thought I found it all true
Love creates a strong bond
I was always happier with you
At a fancy dinner or the pond
Now it's just a distant memory
It's now all the forgotten past
We were a beautiful harmony
It is now all just thought of last
I no longer seem to exist to you
Even though you exist in mine
Every thought makes me blue
I can't put these thoughts behind

Lately I've been thinking of you
How you have been everyday
What in everyday is then new
I can think of you in any way
I really want to talk to you
It's been over half of a year
And for me, nothing is new
There is a lot I want to hear
Now with every passing day
I have a want to talk to you
And I have so much to say
That I can only say to a few
This want to talk is now a need
It grows and grows like a beast
Ready to finally at get it's feast
Waiting as my open wound bleeds
Not talking to someone that I care for since March? Kind of a long time right there

I'm just throwing in the towel
You seem to not want to chat
It sure has been quite a while
But I'm just giving up on that
Now I seem to not even exist
The life we once had is gone
I have bleeding on my wrists
By each new break of dawn
I can't keep living in the past
It's gone and out of my reach
It leaves like a dynamite blast
Quicker than one dies of bleach

It is difficult to fix a broken object
To mend a broken heart is onerous
You have to be daring to project
Living life as if it is very dangerous
You must show some determination
And hope for finding someone new
You can search through every nation
But you can only love in just a few
You must show endless compassion
To find someone right for your soul
You do not need a sense in fashion
Just to make sure both remain whole
Broken hearts are like broken bones
Some mend quicker than others fix
You must only give out little groans
To hide the all the pain as time ticks
Love is not a toy for all age groups
It takes patience and just some light
And the determination of war troops
To find someone that is perfectly right

Why did everything have to change
Whenever you got out of my range
Why did life take an unexpected turn
When I will continue to fail to learn
I wish life was the same as it once was
My dull life finally in the constant buzz
I was known for once in my loneliness
Now it is just total and complete darkness
I wish nothing changed the way it did
I wish to not grow up and remain a kid
Young and not much to even worry about
Only getting yelled at for when I will pout
I wish that you didn't have to stay away
This pain lurks around and seems to stay
And I wish to see you in person once more
Then my confidence and hope may soar
Now, I'm hopeless and in constant denial
On how I couldn't make your time worthwhile
Now I hope that you're happy over there
While I'm struggling to find half of my pair
