Reverse

They say everything happens for a reason,
But my reasons never come.
Maybe it's not for all situations
Maybe it's only for some.

Every day I wake up with the hope,
That you'll let me back in your world.
Yet every day I realize,
I'm not the only girl.

Yet everyday I continue to care,
Continue to love with my all.
I notice the things that no one else does
But I'm simply a fly on your wall.

And the sad thing is I know you so well.
Like how much you've grown,
How you smile, How you smell.

It may sound weird, it may sound rare,
And I'm sorry, I don't mean to stare,
But it's everything you do,
That's got me endlessly loving you.

Like the way you sigh, and roll your eyes.
The way you make me wanna cry.
The way you laugh, and touch your hair.
And the way I'm helplessly standing there.

A couple feet away,
but miles in the heart.
So tempting, addicting.
You tear me apart.

We were closer than close
Couldn't be torn apart.
But I want you to know,
You're alive in my heart.

I pray and I wish, that you'll come back to me,
And that things could go back to how they used to be.

When I was the reason behind of your smile.
When we could just sit there and talk for a while.

And laugh at things that no one finds funny.
And make stormy skies, radiantly sunny.

I want you, I need you, I love you so much.
I miss your soft smile, and your gentle warm touch.

I suppose that I simply miss seeing your face,
Like that scar by your mouth, and your cocky-cool grace.

I've learned, however, that wishes don't work.
Shooting stars need to stay in the sky.
But after awhile, what once made you smile,
Can bring dozens of tears to your eyes.
