Watching the water as,
We talk about forever.
As if it was everything,
Was okay.

Even if it was all talk,
It was comfort.
Comfort from what has yet to come.

The storms that,
Appear in life.
Always changing the road you choose.
Sitting in the sand holding onto you chased that fear away.

Now I miss those moments.
Running in and out of the water.
Laughing as you chased me to the house.
Hoping it would never end.
Wishing I could hold onto you forever.
Leave the rest of the world.

But I know the truth.
I will move on,
Fall in love with someone else.
As I grow up,
I will change with the twists in the road.
You will change with the roads that you are on.
When the day comes and our roads split,
I know I won’t be ready.
I will look forward.
If it is supposed to be,
Our roads with intertwine again.
If it isn’t I will find someone new.

The truth now,
I’m not ready to let us go.
I know there is always someone there to pick up the pieces.
To catch me as,
I fall.
To pick me up when,
I hit the ground.
To take away the pain,
That’s been there for far too long.

One day I will be whole again.
The life that has left my eyes will be back.
I will love as if I was never hurt.
Live as if I never lived before.
I will grow stronger.

Forgetting us,
Forgetting those days,
On the beach.
Forgetting you.

I know the truth all too well.
The truth,
That I was never the one.
The truth,
That there was another.
The truth was you lied.
Took me for a long ride,
That never seemed to end.

The lies turned into your life.
Saying you were at work.
Taking phone the calls late at night.
Leaving me alone most of the night.
The worst part is I let it happen.
I stayed with you.

Praying,
That I was too dramatic.
Praying,
That I was losing, my mind.
Hoping and wishing it wasn’t true.
It was.

I knew the truth all too well.
I was too in love to leave you.
I want so desperately,
For it all to be a dream.
Now all that’s left are the memories.

The memories of what use to be us.
Now all that is left is you and me.
The truth hurt less than my foolish actions.
Trying so hard,
To, believe you.
Trying to act as if, she didn’t exist.
While I was alone she had you.

As I sat and ate alone,
She held you.
As I cried at night without, any comfort.
She held you.

The truth is,
I was just like you.
When you were with her I was with him.
Holding onto him,
Making new memories.
That replaced ours.
On those cold nights I was in his arms.

That’s the truth.
A truth I know all too well.
