It's Different When I'm With You

It's twelve a.m. and here I am
Wide awake eyes swelled up like big balls of fluff
And as if triggered to every night
my brain turns itself on
The desperate and pathetic re-runs
of yesterday's joy just make me cry harder

I wish all too much these days to have you near
But I fear that I've wished on one too many stars
What we are and what we were are what haunt me most
Oh well, even Cinderella was unhappy at some point in time

It was always different when I was with you
You just always had a way to make me feel calm and at ease
I swear even being around the ones I'm used to from my childhood
Always made me feel like I've been living an unsaturated artificial life

It turns my eyes into waterfalls some nights when I think about that day
When our hearts shared a home together for the first time
Was also the first time you put your arm around me, it fit like a glove
Like we were truly walking puzzle pieces that finally found their match

All those nights the inner-me was happy cuddled up warm in bed
Wrapped in the warmth and innocence of your t-shirt enveloped in that familiar smell
They helped me to prove that even Alice lost in Wonderland
Living in one big never-ending dream can find her real life prince charming

It was always different, my love, when I was with you
You made the real me dance and play like a five-year-old kid
And with a saddened, unnatural smile I give back your things and wave
Saying goodbye to the one real thing I've ever known for eternity...

My previous breakup. I swore he was the one. We both did. Then things went sour and now I don't think my life will ever be the same again.
