Are we a storm over an ocean?

Drifting further apart,

I just wish you would hold me again,

But I’m in this boat alone,

You’ve disappeared once more on the wind.

I don’t want to say goodbye,

It feels too soon,

We didn’t have enough time,

Why do you have to leave me?

You chose her,

Neither of us knew,

We just papered over the cracks,

Sinking deeper into an abyss,

I knew we could never survive that,

Not after you stopped holding my hand.

Have you ever met someone at the wrong time?

The deal that is too good to be true,

That’s how I feel about you and I.

We are never meant to be.

I imagine all the conversations we’d have,

These silly in-jokes and laughing over nothing,

Then I realise we’ll never have that,

You don’t see me in that way,

I’m just someone to pass the time with.

Why won’t you fight for me?

As I once did for you,

I see that look on your face,

You’ve given up on us,

So, do you really expect me to watch?

I don’t think so.

I used to wait for your call,

Waiting to see if things changed,

They never did, we are oceans apart,

In distance and personality,

Only now has the penny dropped,

That I have to let you go all over again.

I knew the edge I flirted with,

But I never expected you-

To fall along with me,

Side by side,

Into disaster, a shipwreck,

Waiting to happen.

I am tired of trying,

Waiting in the middle,

For you to meet me there,

When you’re too busy,

With someone else,

Giving them the same lies,

That you told me.
