I met you with a smile for the very first time The man of my past whom once was only mine. I told you about the weather in my small out of state town While we sat and sipped our Diet Pepsi down. We talked about how things have been, where our hearts now flow Causing my walls to vibrate and our friendship to grow. We had a good time and laughed at every remark Causing my heart to rupture and set off a spark. As we left the restaurant things remained the same Trying so hard to not let you in on my game. You drove away without any clue I stood in the parking lot with your taillights in view. Watching you disappear into your new life At home now waiting is your daughter and wife. Now flashbacks of promises you made to me A love so wrong, two strangers not meant to be. Earlier you asked me how I've been and I told you a lie For if I said the truth I would destroy my walls I've built inside. I told you I was okay and that everything was fine But there's not one true word in that whole line. What I really meant to say is I've yet to let go The love for you I still have, in my tears it shows. Everything's really not okay, I'm not that strong And the rains I talked about were the tears I've been crying all along. What I really meant to say is I'd love to have you here To sleep within your arms, just to feel you near. Upon leaving your small town restaurant, I glance at the graffiti on a near by building The red spray paint still marks our love, forever yielding. Reminders of us all around, that love that wasn't meant to be Taillights now vanish down the road, leaving our small town restaurant abandoned and empty.Birth sign: Pisces
