past come to haunt my present

If I could tell you the way you make me feel

I don’t know where the words would come from

Its not love anymore perhaps its fondness but you

You are like the fog at night all embracing but evasive in the light

You are not what I see and when I see you I know not what I feel

Ur the past come to haunt my present and yet you make me smile

This sort of bittersweet tango but without the embrace

You are my guilty pleasure but your presence makes me want to go to confession

You are worse than a bad habit I can’t quit you

I crave you in the silence that echoes your absence

I think that you are the only real thing in my life maybe you’re simply the opposite

We’ve finally gotten over ourselves and found the place where I initially envisioned us

But the dreams that followed the plans we failed to make …

Have sunken from my heart and cannot be digested by my stomach

The road we journeyed was one with no way back so we pressed on till we met a fork

You went left I went right I was forgotten overnight or so I thought and yet here we are

Now here we are there we stand no room for second chances justa dirt path n empty hand

Would you take my hand and walk with me a while or slink off into oblivion

We won’t tread on broken glass I promise we can dance on eggshells if we must

There will be no talk of then or now just the weather and the day not love that got away

Our brutal honesty will sting like hand sanitizer on a scab a necessary evil to keep it pure

Could we go on like this? Is it healthy to keep our friendship a secret and our love buried

I don’t think we can ever be what we were

And yet I can’t seem to deal with what we’ve become

Maybe this time it’s really not you it’s me

Maybe I just need to let go before another five years have gone by
