Till it's gone

By vaultgrl

You know how they say-“You never know what you’ve got till it’s gone.” Well, I knew what I had and I loved him, with my whole heart, like I’ve never loved before. I hadn’t, not like this. Now he’s gone though, and I know what I had. Too bad it wasn’t what I thought it was. Too bad it wasn’t what you said it was. Too bad you’re thinking about her when just a few days ago-it was me.

Cold is creeping in
I’m trying to fight it
I didn’t see this coming
I want to keep feeling

But I can’t.

The jump in my heart at your name is gone
I’m missing the safety in your arms
I didn’t see this coming
I want to keep feeling

But I can’t.

The feeling of belonging is gone
I wonder if he was thinking of her when we were together
I didn’t see this coming
I want to keep feeling

But I can’t

Slowly drifting I gave in and let my self go...I drit in...and out...nothing seperates me from the others. I sleep when i can't go on any longer, sleep was only good with thoughts of you. I eat when i'm hungry, but you always loved to eat. I cry when...when i have to.....like i never have before, and this time i wasn't ashamed. I trust when completely necessary....and kick new feelings out the door, before they develop and i feel more.
I didn't see this coming
I want to keep feeling
But i can't
Now help me forget.

    ...if I could combine a huga and a salute into a single gesture... I would give that to you.
