Even If...

Corey

I know...
it must be a good morning 
in your part of 
the world

here... 
here in my 
little space on earth
I'm not too sure...
anymore


after... 
all this time 
in my mind you're 
still mine

even if...
you're really not
you'll always hold apart
of my heart


wonder...
would it surprise you that
I often have spur-of-the-moments 
when I want to talk to you 

sometimes... with urgency 

probably not 

because 
it's how we used to be before
I lost that luxury 

its 
killing me 
to know she's taken
over all liberties that came 
with being your 
lady 

silly me... 
trying 
to orchestrate 
a reality where you never existed 

actually...
believed I'd live pain free 
but...

your 
special ring tone 
was my wakeup call that had 
me singing the blues 
on how I lost you

and...

after 
all the verses 
were sung I wished to God 
they'd reverse to when our hearts knew 
we were in love 

impossible I know... 

so... 

here...
here I sit 
surrounded by all these 
memories of us indulging in 
each other's time 
and mind 
and 
how... 

failed 
to take one of 
many opportunities to say,
'I Love You'

perhaps... 
you would've 
inhaled the words and 
felt what I was feeling souldeep 
for you.

instead... 
I'm living in 
the company of 
misery
as 
we watch 
you in love with her
while she happily lives a life 
meant for me

I
guess
truly loving you
means wanting your happiness

even if...

it's not with me
