And the yearning has dulled
To an ache
And the burning has lulled
Every day
Sometimes you still take my breath away
Tonight it was with laughter
For just a moment after
It’s been so long
It eased the pain
But it still feels sore in my chest
Now I guess we get along again
And you carefully side step
Mentions of any new him
I wouldn’t trade being able
to stand me again
Gotta build back the quips
From tolerance
From the freeze in the moment
From the mood swings
Now there are mundane but so-ok-
I-couldnt-dream-it-last-wk
moments that I will keep
And it doesn’t make me
Wanna scream anymore
I know that I don’t want to be yours
But there’s a part of me
That will always just be
Like a pulled muscle at the twist
Wondering what could have been
Why it never could’ve been..
But I am living with this..
