If I don’t see you again

I’ve been staring at the ceiling,

Watching hours slip away,

Haunted by the echoes

Of the things we used to say.

And the past keeps rushing forward

Like a river I can’t slow.

If I could build a wall against it,

Maybe I’d finally let you go.

Back before the world got heavy,

We were chasing every day,

And when the stars lit up the sky,

That’s when we’d come alive and play.

That first kiss was reckless fire,

Two hearts racing far too fast.

I was holding on for dear life,

You were gone before the crash.

Guess you never meant it

When you swore you loved me true.

I was blind, blaming fate,

When the fault was always you.

Funny how the darkness tells the truth,

But it’s the sunrise that I dread.

How do I silence memories

Of the lives we could’ve led?

Summer’s faded, nights feel colder,

And I reach for my phone too late.

You don’t answer, you don’t bother.

But I still dial anyway.

Did you see me as a wager?

Did you toss me like a game?

You walked off without the burden,

But I’m the one who wears the blame.

Guess you never meant it

When you swore you loved me true.

I was blind, blaming timing,

When the fault was always you.

Funny how the truth cuts through the dark,

But daylight makes it real.

And I can’t unlive the moments

Or the way you made me feel.

Now the nights are long and restless,

But one thing’s clear to me…

No matter how I dream it,

You were never mine to keep.
